We headed south to celebrate Christmas with my family the Wednesday before Christmas. We stayed until Christmas Eve and then booked it back home so that we wouldn't miss Santa's deliveries Christmas morning!!
As usual, Audrey lived it up with her cousins. She has definitely learned to "run with the big dogs"-- around and around her Granny and Paw Paw's house! There was lots of squealing and chasing and running and the occasional tear but she had a blast!! Each night we were there, she collapsed from exhaustion right at bed time. One night she actually told me she didn't want me to read books to her, to just "go" (said as she is pointing to the door).
Diving for gifts!
We had been reading a Little Golden Book, The Littlest Elf, at night before bedtime for most of December. Audrey really took to the idea that elves help make and deliver presents (the littlest elf gets to ride in Santa's sleigh and help deliver on Christmas Eve). The night before we opened presents, we were listening to Audrey on the monitor as she lay in her bed. She was talking to her dolls and lovies and telling them that tomorrow she would be an elf! It was so sweet to hear her describe how she was going to deliver presents!
These photos are of my nieces and Audrey being the elves this year!
Time to unwrap!
My mom and dad got Audrey a Barbie Jeep and she loved it! We thought that she may not be able to drive it yet but she took to it very quickly. She's still working on her steering but overall she is doing great!
The "head kid" at the big kid table. This is why they love him so much. There is usually an argument between Laura and Gracie over who gets to sit beside Audrey when we eat. Not when Clay is around! Then, it is settled pretty quickly when one of them realizes that they can sit beside him!
This last photo is of me, 31 weeks pregnant with Shelby Claire. :)
