We headed to Chesapeake for a few days around Christmas this year. It worked out that way so we could come back home at the end of the week and get Gavin's room organized some and also relax a little before going back to work.
We had a great time visiting with not just Mom and Dad N and Brent and Kim, Blake and Alli, but the Brown/Maggiore family on Christmas Eve, too! Thanks to Jen and Joe for hosting a great Christmas Eve dinner for everyone!
Warning- Picture overload ahead...
What a cutie!
Rachel and Alli at the Maggiore house. I love that they both took their shoes off!
Hugs!
Rachel and Megan opening gifts from the grandparents
These two are so cute together!
Rachel had such a good time with Papa Joe too!
Our (growing) family
Christmas Day was wild and crazy, and I loved it! We started out the morning just the three of us reading the Christmas story and opening stockings. The stockings took a while since Rachel wanted to open every little thing in hers, including nail polish, her chapstick, big girl underwear, hair clips... yes, she's a complete girl now!
Mimi loved every minute of watching all the kids/grandkids!
Blake loves garbage trucks and I was so excited to find him one. I'm pretty sure he likes it too, but I don't know about Brent and Kim... it makes noise!
Rachel had to help Aunt Kim out a little bit!
Precious little Alli, who loved getting into everything!
Rachel helped deliver gifts
Thanks Aunt Bonnie for Gavin's gift, too!
Poppy made a special gift for Rachel...
A kitchen! She loves it!
Blake and Alli do too. They all had such a good time!
We got a portable DVD player, too. That will come in handy on trips and in the hospital in a few months!
Rachel loves her red nail polish
I love this picture. Surprisingly, it didn't take too long to get it. Next year may be a different story though!
I think it was harder to get a picture of the dogs than it was the kids!
Thanks for letting us stay with you, Mimi and Poppy!
