christmas at grandma's

next stop of the day was grandma's. of course there was some ring around the rosie.

and sharing with cousin caroline.

and a big hug for cousin andrew.

christmas eve dress

so it looks like we didn't really take many pictures on christmas eve. but vera was wearing a pretty dress, and i wanted to at least get it documented on here. even if the picture is kinda lame...

vera's christmas eve church dress:

christmas at nana's

we visited nana's house on christmas, and vera got a new baby she was quite smitten with.

opening other presents with dad...

then headed to great-grandma's

everyone seems very interested in this empty box. i forget what was actually in it? but there are like ten people standing around looking at it, haha

miss vera is super tired, it's been a long day already...

christmas morning

how have i not posted any christmas pictures yet? bad mom!

here's Vera christmas morning at our house. her 'big' presents included an easel, kids table and chairs, and a play kitchen that her dad and i worked hard on - still painting it christmas eve. that is what parents have to do, right? work late on christmas eve putting together bikes, etc for the perfect christmas morning. i just didn't think it'd start so young... i'll put up some more pictures from later in the day soon. promise
