Christmas!

This year for Christmas was spent at my parents house. Baylee was very excited to be going to see Grandma Karen. The night before Christmas Eve she stayed at Grandma Tam's house and then Jon and I picked her up on our way out of town. She was very concerned that we were leaving Grandma Tam's until she heard where we were going. When we got there the festivities began. Aunt Cally and Uncle Kortney showed up early and we all started playing games. Later that evening we had our traditional Clam Choweder and rolls by candlelight, then we headed out to do some caroling, Baylee thought it was great! She would get right up front and sing her little heart out. After that we headed home for the Christmas story, Grandma Karen gave all the kids a piece from her nativity and they got to put it in place when their part came up. Baylee was baby Jesus and was so cute holding it. After that it was time to open one gift and head to bed. Grandma Tam had sent a special gift with instructions to open on Christmas Eve. She had made matching Jammies for all the grandkids. Baylee loved her pink snowmen!

Jon and I started a new tradition this year, we bought and advent calander that looks like a house. It has 25 doors on it that open so you can put a treat in it. Baylee would remind us all month that we needed to get the prize out. Well the 25th stayed empty because we told her Santa would put something special in it to let her know it was Christmas day and he had been there. She was excited Christmas morning to find a chocolate santa in that door.

All in all we had a great Christmas. Baylee got a awesome keyboard that I think I love playing with more then her, dress up cloths, art stuff, clothes and two new baby dolls. I think Jon's gift was the best because it not only benifits him but me as well. I have been asking for him to make me a bed and he kept telling me he didn't have the tools so this year for Christmas I gave him cash towards new tools. I knew he had money saved up to help get what he wanted. So now he has the tools and I am getting a new bed. That post will be coming soon!!!
