First Christmas (the non-white one in Virginia)

We got to celebrate Christmas early this year with Grandma, Papa, and Uncle Aaron before they headed to Oregon (go Ducks, btw!!!) and we headed to Ohio (Go Bucks too, but they're not playing in a bowl as I type this year.... :() We had such a great day with them, heading over to their house as soon as the girls woke up and finishing up the day at Busch Garden's Christmas Town. Between feasting, stockings, presents, games, naps, and laughter, it was quite the full day! Can you tell who is excited??

Stockings came first, much to Evie's delight. Surveying the loot before diving in :)
Ohhhh Grandma! These look yummy! (she has since learned that they taste yummy as well :))
Playing with Uncle Aaron and her socking loot :)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand our girls have officially entered the world of American Girl (much to my secret delight ;)).

Evie is quite taken with Baby Ruthie. When Grandma asked if she could hold her, Evie hesitated and told her "maybe when you bigger" (I wonder where she's heard that before ;)). She did eventually let Grandma hold her but said "just two minutes..." and about 2 seconds later asked if she could have her back. ;)
Gracie got a bear (Honey Bear) which she was quite pleased with and continues to love to hug. :)
Thanks for the fun day, Mom and Dad!!!
Christmas Town pics to come later.... :)
