More Christmas

Here is Lyida getting into her WVU stocking. We got her a red one to match the rest of the family but Tom and Judy (the folks that sit behind us at football games) made her this one! It is beautiful.
Here she is at Nonni and Poppi's house. Orginially I wanted everyone to come to our house for breakfast and watch Lydia open gifts. That idea was bucked by everyone. So after Santa at our house, we jumped in the car in our pjs and finished christmas in Mannington. She liked her sled and Uncle Mike took her for a test drive all around the house.


This is the cutest picture ever. Her "15th" cousin Beverly bought her this. You push the button and the top rises with Pooh and the gang ice skating around in it. Lydia loves all of these push the button make the (penguin, santa, tree, snowman) sing and dance. I just loved how instead of dancing around like she usually does, she sat quiet and really focused on looking at them inside the box.
and of course, the best present of all!

Quick update, I was having a hard enough time accepting that Lydia could stand on her own, that made her seem sooo old and grown up. But this morning during our snuggle/playtime in mommy and dadddy's bed, she took her shirt off by herself! She completely got her right arm out of her pajama shirt then had the right motions to take it off of her head. But let's be honest, mommy has a hard time getting things over her beautiful Charlie Brown head. So we helped with that part, but then she pulled it off of her other arm. I just cannot get over what she can do now.

I like the last photo the best! She definitely is the best Christmsa present ever for you, Mark, Poppi and Nonni. The absolutely best part is that you have so many more wonderful Christmases to come with her!

And, speaking of growing up...nearly just one month until the BIG 1 birthday.

I am so glad you posted the WVU stocking pic. That is an awesome stocking. Lydia and those musical decorations is just too funny. I love how she is intently staring at that one. I can't believe she is almost one!!

I think she looks like her Poppi in the picture in the sled!

All your Christmas pictures are so great! It looks like you all had a wonderful holiday, especially Miss Lydia. And I love that she loves that little magical Pooh box so much! What a sweet picture!
