Virginia Christmas

We split our Virginia Christmas with Nathan's parents in two - celebrating Christmas Eve before our trip to Ohio and Christmas Day on New Year's Day when we got back. It was fun to have such a spread out Christmas!

On Virginia Christmas Eve we went over to Nathan's parents for an amazing dinner (French onion soup - my fav!!), pickle hunt, and games. Evelyn wore her little First Christmas sleeper from Nathan's Aunt Linda - she looked quite festive. Here she is sporting her new outfit and showing how she is almost as big as her stocking! :)

She loved playing with Grandma and Grandpa Mortier - it was the first time she was really awake, alert and happy while at their house!IMG_0318.JPG  

We had the annual pickle hunt and as you can see in the picture below, I was the first to find the pickle! It was very nice of Aaron and Nathan to let me win - it really helped me feel welcome and a true part of the family. Thanks guys. ;) ;) ;)IMG_0319.JPG

We each got to open one of our Christmas gifts on Virginia Christmas Eve. Nathan and I got the little video camera that we had been eyeing on Amazon! We've had so much fun taking videos of Evie. Some have already been posted - keep an eye out for many many more. :) She is a little camera shy, however. She'll be talking up a storm and the second we pull out the video camera, she stops! :( We'll keep working on it.

New Year's Day/Virginia Christmas we headed over to Nathan's parents in the morning for a big Christmas breakfast, stockings, presents, relaxing, more good food and games.

Evelyn got her first teddy bear from Grandma and Grandpa Mortier. I have to say that it is definitely the softest, cutest, cuddliest little bear I've seen. She already loves it.

Thanks, Mom and Dad Mortier, for such a wonderful day!
