Christmas

We had a great Christmas. We started out by spending the night Saturday night at Grandma and Grandpas house and went to church with them on Sunday. Grandma and Grandpa got a choo choo train for under the tree and Hailey was having a lot of fun playing with that. If it isn't turned on she will look at her Grandpa and say Choo until he turns it on for her. After church we hit the road to go to Mimi and Popi's house. We spent Christmas Eve day just relaxing and waited for Popi to get off work. Hailey wasn't feeling very good so we wanted to stay indoors as much as possible. We met Popi for dinner at Red Lobster (a Christmas Eve tradition) and then we went to Tanglewood to look at the lights (another Christmas Eve tradition). Hailey loved the lights, we took her out of her car seat so she could see better and she would be on our lap just dancing and saying ooh while pointing to the lights. By the time we got home Hailey had a fever so we gave her some medicine and put her to bed. But by Christmas morning her fever was gone and she was running around and playing even though she still had a little cold.


The first thing she did on Christmas morning was kiss the tree, I don't even think she realized that Santa had come that night. But as soon as she kissed the tree she saw her giant Castle and got very excited.


She has so much fun playing and jumping in her castle and throwing the balls (Da's as Hailey calls them). My favorite picture is the one of her hair (what little hair she has) sticking up from the static and her tongue hanging out, you can tell by this picture that she was feeling better.





Hailey really got into opening the gifts. I thought that she would be more interested in the paper and boxes than what she got but she would open a gift and play with it till she opened the next one and so on. It was a blast watching her, she is so much fun. I know that next year she will know a little more what is going on and it will be even more fun to watch her get so excited. After we opened gifts at Mimi and Popi's we went back to Grandma and Grandpa's house to see what Santa had left there. He left Hailey a playhouse for outside that has flower boxes in the windows and everything. She also got some hide and seek tunnels and tents to crawl through and play in. Christmas was a busy day but it was also a lot of fun. Hailey got to spend the week at her Grandparents house while mom and dad took a trip to NYC which will be in the next blog. Now that Christmas is over we have to get on the ball and change our dinning room to a play room and rip out the flowers from the garden so we can put up the play house.
