Merry Christmas 2008!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
This was an awesome Christmas with Rileigh. She really got into it this year which makes it more fun as parents! I can't imagine what next year will be like and the years after. I'm sure they will only get better and better!

We were actually home for Christmas this year (1st time in 10 years!) Christmas Eve we went to Huntsville,AL to visit Dennis parents and do Christmas with them. Rileigh was cracking us up, she would tear into the package and then have to stop and play with each new toy for about 5-10 minutes each! I thought we would never get them all opened! Her favorite toy I think she got was a new baby doll. She has really gotten into her babies. She got LOTS of great things and loves them all. Dennis and I had a good Christmas too, I got my new digital camera I had been wanting and Dennis finally got his Wii that he has been wanting! Thank you so much Sharon and Dennis for all the great gifts. So back to the new baby doll Rileigh got....on the way home we thought for sure Rileigh would sleep. She didn't really get a nap and stayed awake the whole trip down. It was raining outside and kinda hard to see the road and the WHOLE trip home 2 1/2 hours all Rileigh would talk about is this new baby! She didn't want to hold it, she would pick it up for a few minutes then throw it down on the ground and scream "baby,baby,baby" until you picked it back up and gave it to her. This went on several times before I was done playing this game. Dennis and I both agree to just let her cry...little did we know she was going to cry and scream "baby,baby,baby" for 2 hours! Needless to say we both had a headache when we got home!!!

Christmas morning we were at home for Santa to come visit. She was so cute when she woke up and saw the presents under the tree she went right over and sat down ready to open them. She had the hang of this opening presents thing! After opening them and getting a few more new babies to play with she walked over to the door put her coat on and said" bye-bye". She was ready to go to another house to see what else she could open!!! It was so cute, we couldn't help but laugh at her!
That afternoon we went to my brothers house for Christmas with my family. With the birth of Garrison Jim and Jaime were home this year for Christmas too! Jamie's mom and dad were down to help out with the little one's and for Christmas. Rileigh was in heaven when she saw MORE presents to open! Plus since Emily & Garrison was too young to open there's she got to help Uncle Jim & Aunt Jaime open them too! Needless to say she had a GREAT Christmas and got LOTS of great things! Thanks so much to our families for getting Rileigh so many great things! She wouldn't of had this great of a Christmas without all of y'all!

Here are a few pictures of her through out the day's. As you can see her and Emily have on cute matching dresses- thanks to Grandma Nelson!! The girls looked so cute!
