Christmas 2009 has come and gone, but the memories of that morning are filled with moments I dreamed about when I found out I was going to be a mom.Abby loved every second this year...stuck in the age of excitement, yet old enough to really understand how cool it is to be dropped off a bunch of stuff you really like one Winter Morning.
Every twenty minutes or so, Abby would burst into a sing song"y" voice and yell, "I LOVE CHRISTMAS!" Usually accompanied with some sort of cheer/tumbling routine move. She sincerely could not contain her joy. So fun to be a part of. Abby's list for Santa this year included the ever popular Bendaroos, and "skool close from the gap." So funny that she is old enough to want clothes now.
Deak, on the other hand, was not feeling well. Abby opened most of his gifts and he enjoyed eating his socks and hat, LOVED Munu, and finally, playing with his awesome Yo Gabba Gabba Laptop (which has since broke - not cool.)

We spent the day with family, eating breakfast (which Blair makes every year, and is awesome), opening gifts, and eating Christmas Dinner. We were lucky enough to get to meet Hailey, Blair's sister's daughter, for the first time. She is basically a spitting image of Abby at the same age...lucky girls. They live in Alabama, and we don't get to see them often enough. Sick Deak
