Mat's Dad (aka Gramps) started a tradition of celebrating Christmas with his side of the family the Saturday before Christmas, which works out great for everyone. Madeline was a hit in her Christmas dress...
This lucky little girl had all kinds of presents under the tree. Here she is checking out her very first present...
She's been "helping" me wrap presents lately, and she loves crinkling the paper. However, she couldn't quite figure out how to tear the paper to open it...
Once she found the bow, she ripped it right off and thought it was pretty cool...
And another bow...
Gramps got her this toy that makes all different animal sounds when you hit different buttons, and she loves it...
Daddy thought it was pretty cool too...
Being the dog lover she is, Maddie got a kick out of Chester Dog...
Madeline and Gramps (I managed to completely fail at getting a picture of them smiling...)
Once again, checking out Chester...
Madeline in her reindeer fuzzy pj's with daddy...
Having a blast sitting and playing with all her new toys...
I tried to get a picture of her in front of the Christmas tree, but she was way too distracted with everything going on to care about smiling for yet another picture for mom...
Overall, it was a great evening getting to see everyone, enjoying wonderful Lonnie Q BBQ, and giving/receiving all kinds of wonderful gifts. What a fantastic start to our numerous Christmas celebrations!
