Christmas 2010!

We had such an amazing Christmas this year!!!  Gabrielle enjoyed herself and really got into unwrapping her gifts.  She powered through both days of family Christmases without an afternoon nap because she was just so excited.  Everyone got so many nice things this year, but I especially hit the jackpot!  Seriously, Nick went a little crazy.  Him and Steve went Christmas shopping together for Alexis and I and I think they kind of kept egging each other on.  Lets see if I can remember everything....two pairs of boots, a fleece, yoga pants, camera backpack case, underwear, lotion, MSU shirt, Victoria Secret tote bag, and..........new Coach purse!  Yes, the third to add to my collection.  Nick said he wasn't planning on getting one this year, but it caught his and eye and was just so "me".  I love it!

I got Nick a robe (per his request - he says our daughter is too old to catch any glimpses of his man bits after a shower), a pair of jeans, a wallet, a signed picture of Kalin Lucas, and a muzzle loader gun.  He like everything too!  My parents came over Christmas day and then we went to Nick's parents' on the 26th.  Greg came to town and Gabi and I went to see him in Hastings on the 27th but Nick was sick with a lingering cold so he didn't make it.

Unwrapping gifts from her stocking

Obsessing over Grandma's Christmas pin

Baby jeggings are the coolest thing ever :) 

Getting kisses from Papa

   

A new doll!

She loved it!

She won't keep a barrette bow in her hair anymore, but she'll keep a gift bow stuck to her head.....

Playing with Daddy

Even Grandpas can't make it all better sometimes...

 The muzzle loader........

Nick's favorite gift...the Sparty Gnome

A scooter that she can actually touch the ground on!!

Here is a video of Gabrielle when she got up on Christmas morning and found her big chair that Santa left her :)



And here's a little clip of her opening presents.  The second gift she opened was a touch and feel Christmas book from my Aunt Kathy....and G didn't want anything to do with other presents once she opened that book!



And the next day it was to the Taylor's.....

Landyn and Gabi are both obsessed with their booster chairs and want to sit in them all the time.....

One of Nick's gifts from his parents was a remote control helicopter.  Corinne managed to get it stuck on top of one of the ceiling beams!

And then the next day we wrapped up Christmas with Uncle Greg.  He got roped into pushing Gabs around on her fire engine.

And that's about it.  Whew!  I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas too!
