Christmas...Finally

Sorry all, I am late in posting for Christmas....So, here are the pictures of Christmas. We had a lot of fun, Jason, my brother came in for Christmas. So we had the whole family minus Ryan and Shaun and Melanie and family. We were happy to have those that we could get, next Christmas we can be a whole family!

Christmas Eve was crazy, we were waiting for Jason to arrive before we had Christmas dinner, so we didn't end up eating till like 8:00 or something like that. So after dinner we quickly put Kiera down for bed while we did the rest of the Christmas Eve festivities. She got to sleep at Grandma and Grandpa's for Christmas Eve. The next morning we all slept in believe it or not. I think we ended up all getting up and over to my parents house at like 8:30 or something..Kiera even slept in! The girls all got to come down and see what Santa brought them. When we took Kiera in she got destracted by Aunt Kristyn's new drum set. That was probably her favorite gift....I must say Mommy was kinda of happy it wasn't hers.

She has enjoyed the gifts we got her though. We got this little piano for her that she loves to play once in a while. She loves music! We also got her some duplos and one of those shape sorters. She loves to dump the duplos out and sometimes she puts them back in the bucket. The shape sorter we play with together...she needs help to figure it out still, but I figure you got to start somewhere, and she does enjoy it. Specially when she gets the right shape and it goes through and we clap. She also got a baby doll from Grandma Mullis that she has really enjoyed. The rest of the gifts were all things we needed..like clothes. We got some very cute outfits from Grandma and Grandpa Payne. Thank you to all who gave her gifts, there were all very cute and much needed.

For the most part Kiera enjoyed her Christmas, but her morning did start off kind of rough. In my famly we have everyone open one gift at a time. Kiera would open her present then leave to go play in her little house on the opposite side of the room. Well just about everytime she would fall or trip over the gifts on the floor. Then when we were done with presents she slipped on the kitchen floor. Daddy was comforting her and went to get his cinammon roll out of the microwave. Well, the icing was really hot. In the amount of time it took Jason to get the cinammon roll from the microwave to the counter Kiera some how slapped the cinammon roll. She burned her little finger pretty bad. This picture was a couple of days after. Fortunatly we are now past it and her finger is back to normal. She was amazing with it though, I had to wrap it there are the beginning with some gauze and everytime I had to put a new one on she just sat there and let me do it. She never fought or anything. Amazing child I tell you.

Well I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!
