Better Late than Never

I've had blogger guilt lately, so I'm finally finding myself in front of the computer wondering where I should start. So, as the song says, "Let's start at the very beginning...it's a very good place to start." I know, super cheesy...that's who I am. Gotta love it.

Christmas was so fun this year! We weren't able to put any presents under the tree until Christmas Eve because Little Miss Curious couldn't stand to leave them untouched.
On Christmas Eve we opened our presents from Santa's elves (pajamas) and watched "A Charlie Brown Christmas." As you can see, Savanna didn't last long...actually, she fell asleep while I was putting her pajamas on!
So, we decided to "fancy" her up and make her our Christmas Eve present!
Christmas morning was exciting for all of us! Savanna had some good present-opening practice for her birthday, so she was in fighting shape for some serious wrapping paper destruction!
Our little family on Christmas morning...it only took one try with the timer to get this winner!
JI tested Savanna's patience with this box...clear tape + white box= two eternal minutes to a 15-month-old!
She got some great toys, clothes and blankets...what a spoiled little girl!

She made sure to open not only her presents, but ours as well. It was a great start to a wonderful day. We are so grateful for the birth of the Savior and the joy that He brings to our family each and every day.

After the shreds of wrapping paper were cleaned up, we spent the rest of the morning with the Hardcastle Crew. I don't know what happened between our house and theirs, but I didn't get a single picture while we were at their house! We had fun visiting, playing with the kiddie toys and eating the traditional Christmas morning breakfast!

Then, for lunch we went to the Fox abode and enjoyed the company of family and friends and goofed off. All the girls got these adorable head wraps (I'm not exactly sure what they're called).

We roped the boys into a photo op with the same accessory and for some reason...they just look like a bunch of guys in turbans!

And, of course, Savanna can count on some SERIOUS lovin' from Aunt Heather whenever she's nearby.

Overall, we had a wonderfully exhausting day!

Hopefully, January's and February's happenings will be recorded soon too...

but don't hold your breath!

Love the head wraps... I don't know what they are called either, but that works. Savanna is adorable and growing sooo fast.

I think sometimes Savanna would like to get away from the LOVIN that I give her. I just can't help it! She is way too cute! You are one lucky mama.
