Christmas

As usual, Christmas has come and gone in a flash. This year was so much fun. Brianna just had a blast and watching her excitment was priceless. The events started on Christmas eve where we celebrated with my mom's side of the family at "Grammy Rae's" house. Brianna passed out the gifts this year. She also helped everyone open them. That's the bonus to being the only kid there, I guess.
Here is Brianna checking out the jewelry that Grammy Rae got from Papa Dale.
Just when she thought the festivities of the night were over. Santa made an appearance. She was shocked!
Santa came through for her. He brought the gift that she wanted the most.....a jewelry box

Giving Santa a big Thank You hug.

After seeing Santa, we headed off the the Christmas Eve service at church. Brianna hadn't ever been in the adult service before, but since there were no kids services she sat with us. She had a blast. She sang (even if she didn't know all the words) and held her hands up. She was awesome!


Christmas morning we opened gifts at home. Sorry, no pictures. We just enjoyed the morning with out worrying about cameras. Well actually, I do have one that I will share. Brianna got a set of stick on Tinker Bell nails and this is what she did with them. I'm in trouble....


Then we were off to Stephanie and Jerry's for Christmas will the Miller clan. Grandma Stephanie had a yummy breakfast casserole waiting for us.

Then we opened gifts.

Then we just relaxed. Here is what Brianna and Papaw Jerry did......sat outside in the freezing cold singing Christmas caroles. They are quite a pair!

Then the Miller's showed up. Here is Brianna with Grandpa Miller. Isn't he cute?!?!? I'm hoping Jayme has a headful of hair like that when he gets older!

Then we ate (again!) Brianna took this picture.


Then we played! Here is Brianna and Haley fixing Kate's hair. Poor Kate!

Haley was a good sport. Brianna wanted everything that Haley opened and Haley was so good about sharing her brand new toys. Brianna's favortie was the Nintendo PBS (her exact words!)
