Christmas with Too Too and Grandaddy

Clay's parents came up to spend Christmas day with us this year and it was so nice having them at our house! They arrived a little before lunch and Audrey got right down to business giving them the gifts she got them!

 After we finished opening gifts, we went outside and actually played in the snow! We could not believe it was snowing on Christmas Day! It was the good kind of snow too-- just right for building a snowman!

Being pregnant, I don't often get cold; however, I was freezing outside in the snow! We built the snowman and then came inside to eat Christmas dinner. It was the first time I've ever cooked a ham (which turned out great) and a Black Walnut Cake (not great, blech!). I also got my fine china out of the boxes for the first time in ten years and realized that I have enough "stuff" (napkins, napkins rings, etc.) to confortably sit four adults! Ha! I have plenty of china but no napkins! :) So, before I do this again, I will be investing in place mats, napkins, and a table cloth.

We (I mean they) then went BACK out to play in the snow and to let Audrey drive her "beep". She didn't do that long though-- the snow was too tempting!

 Our neighborhood-- there wasn't enough snow to cover the roads or sidewalks but to me it was just the right amount. Not enough to make walking on the sidewalks or driving treacherous and just enough to have fun with.

This last picture is of Audrey enjoying her gifts from Too, Too and Grandaddy. They gave her a TON of dress up clothes, costume jewelry, boas, hair styling necessities and even a bottle of OPI nail polish that she asks me to paint her nails with every day! In the picture, she is using her new curling iron to curl my hair. Since then, we've had many blow-outs with her hair dryer and lots of curls placed in just the right spots!
