More Christmas

So, I am super behind on blogging our Christmas, but here we go...our Christmas was actually on Christmas Eve because Necon and I both had to work on Christmas Day. We woke up Christmas Eve morning and did our stocking and Santa presents.

Lydia was very intrigued by her glo-worm. She loved looking at the face lighting up. She also got some Leap Frog maracas that teach colors and numbers in English and Spanish, a toy that will help her learn to crawl, and a Strawberry Shortcake football and softball.

Her big toy from Santa was her new exersaucer. This has proved to also be a toy for mommy because Lydia absolutely LOVES to play in it. It can keep her occupied for at least 45 minutes!! She has learned how to push the buttons to turn on the music and she thinks it is completely hilarious!! After just a few minutes of playing in it we found her propped up on her elbows... we laughed at this so she laughed at us too!!


I think this is going to be one of my all time favorite pictures...

Every year we bake at my mom's house. We usually make cookies, peanut brittle, divinity and fudge. Sometimes we also make rocky road. Lydia fell asleep early on, so this is the only picture we wound up with. Her and Aunt Susan. Look closely and you can see some flour on her nose...

Christmas Eve night we spend at my parent's house. We eat shrimp, cheese dip, fruit dip, pigs in a blanket, and this year we added meatballs. We watch A Christmas Story and open presents. This year we opened more presents than usual since Necon and I were working on Christmas Day...


Wrapping presents has always been super important around my mom's house. I can remember spending days wrapping with her. Here is the beautifully decorated tree complete with sea of impeccably wrapped presents!!

Mom got Lydia some keepsakes for Christmas. She got a cup, brush and comb and the most beautiful porcelain shoes with pink ribbon that have her name, birthday, weight and length on the bottom. She opened those on Christmas morning, so we don't have pictures
