Christmas Day

Christmas morning we had to wake Phia up early! She wasn't pleased at first, but once we reminded her that Santa came to see her she jumped out of bed.


She was obsessed with that "paper" which was instructions for the Barbie cruise ship she received the night before. Like so obsessed she had to sleep with the paper. Strange kid, lol!


Her face once she saw everything!


This is where she almost ran me over!


A new doodle thingy. This one has animal stamps so she of course loves it.

Scooter!


We bought the Minnie mouse at Disney World and hid it until Christmas. :)




Her recordable Toy Story book from Nonni and Pops. Nonni recorded herself reading the book and she loves it, but she was kind of confused at first.

New twinkle toes leotard.


One of her absolute favorite gifts is her cape.

Work it, work it!



After gifts and stockings we got ready and headed to the Burbidge's for presents and the annual Christmas morning breakfast. So yummy!

Phia and Madelyn comparing movies.


Uncle Matt flying super Sophia. This started everyone wanting a turn....



Even Uncle Matt. LOL!

This is what we call chaos, but awesome chaos! <3>

Caught ya!


I see one of these in Phia's future (Jamie got this for Christmas). She loved it. When she would finish singing a song, she would tell everyone one more time, or one more song. So cute!

Precious Madelyn!


Jamie also got this ball where you can climb inside and roll the person around. Each girl took a turn and then we had to book it inside. It was freezing.
Little dare devil loving it of course.

Smooches!




Next Just Dance!

Phia wanted to play too

Go daddy, go daddy!
This is just priceless! Go Uncle Cory!

Later that day we headed to the Pennington's for a couple hours before heading over to the Godwin's. Sadly I did not take on picture at the Godwin's. We were all so pooped by this point, but we had a great time seeing everyone!
I took these precious pictures of Phia working her moves in front of Mama Jean's Christmas tree.
She told me to get on the ground and take some pictures of her. I heart her so much. I wish I could bottle up this sweetness.




Whew that is all folks for Christmas 2010! We had an amazing time seeing all our family and felt truly blessed to be surrounded by them all. Sophia was so much fun this year as she truly got the idea of Christmas and I loved watching the joy on her face as she tore through the packages. I can't even imagine how awesome next year will be!

Christmas Eve

To start off the Christmas festivities on Christmas Eve Eve we met up with the Burbidge clan to celebrate Nana's birthday at Blue Goose. It was super yummy food and a great time! We of course had to take some pictures beforehand!






This girl cracks me up and did this pose all on her own! I really do not know where she gets this from. You whip out a camera and tell her to pose and she goes to town. She looks to old in this picture :(



On Christmas Eve we had all the Pennington's over to our house to celebrate. We had a wonderful assortment of appetizers and a awesome dinner spread, but man we had enough food for at least 20 more people. The food really was delicious though and I thoroughly enjoyed hosting. We were able to bust out the china for oh the second time since getting married and all our fancy dishes. Man I am bummed I didn't take a picture of the tables they were pretty awesome if I do say so myself...toot,toot! :) The rest of the evening we just spent time hanging out together and enjoying the kids and their new gifts.

Daddy teaching Phia how to use her new VTech video game. She loves it!



Thanks to Mama Jean and Daddy Jack for the awesome gift!


I did it! High five!








She also got a beautiful ornament! This girl has so many ornaments next year she is getting her own tree in her room to display them all.

We of course had to put it on the tree immediately.


Oh you want to take a picture, ok!





Four generations! I can't tell you how special it is to be able to have these pictures!


Miss sass

Cousin Ivy and Sean! Bwahaha!
The kiddos! Phia and Brayden!
Toys!!!!

Funny Uncle Ricky!



Looking good girl!

Brayden wanted to dress up too!

After all the family left it was time to get ready for Santa! First up was getting the cookies and carrots ready for the reindeer. She was so into it, I just loved it!

Pops and Nonni with Phia!
Of course posing by her treats for Santa!
Her surprise face! Lol!

She thought she was SO funny!
Do it again? Oh ok!
After the girl was sleeping, Santa and his elves went to work. Thankfully this year nothing had to be assembled so no late night for us which is good since we had to be up bright and early Christmas morning.
