It took me awhile to get around to it, but I am finally putting some Christmas pictures up. Every year on Christmas Eve we go down to Terry's cousin's house and have a big dinner and all the kids get to sit on santa's lap. It's a lot of fun.
Tato cried when we put her on Santa's lap so Terry just had to hold her while she received her present.
Her favorite part seemed to be opening presents. Of course she liked playing with the wrapping paper more than anything she got for Christmas. It's tradition in their family to get a pair of jammies from Santa on Christmas Eve.
Ta da! Here she is in her Christmas jammie!
We had a lot of fun, and it was great to catch up with all of Terry's cousins to see what they have been up to. We rarely see them, usually only at Christmas, so it was great to get together with everyone again. When we got home we put Tato to bed and me and Terry hustled about getting the stockings ready for Santa to fill.
Tato woke us up bright and early (around 8:00. Wait, what do you mean that's not early?) We got up and peeked in our stockings to see what we got. My brother was coming over at 10 to open presents with us, and at around 9:30 Terry had to practically tackle me to keep me from getting at the presents. (wink)
Here she is on her first Christmas morning, staring at the tree, or what's under it rather.
Santa brought her a panda!
Here she is opening presents. Again, she absolutely loved all the wrapping paper.
We were lucky to have my brother over to celebrate with us. Tato finally warmed up to having someone besides mommy and daddy hold her.
Hope everyone had a great Christmas filled with friends, family and food!

What fun pics! I just want to kiss those fat little cheeks of Violet's. I'm glad you had Marshall over, so it felt a little like Christmas -- some of your family over. I wish we could see you guys. Pray for us to get a Suburban and strike it rich so we can spend all summer with you guys!
Okay, now grandma has to come home and squeeze that little girl. Thanks for the pics.
