santa came to our house!

look what santa brought miss evelyn...

she was just smitten with her new kitchen!
she must have been a really good girl because santa even accessorized it with some pots and pans and a basket of vegetables..
can you see the sparkle in her eye...she LOVES her new kitchen

opening a present from aunt sasa...yippee some handmade washcloths and dishtowels for my new kitchen!

hanging up her bell ornament that santa put in her stocking...

after spending christmas morning at our house we headed out to brian's a parents to open presents with the family.

grandpa paul and grandma tony with their grankids...

grandma and brian...

our next stop was the ranch. thankfully evelyn was ready for a nap after all the christmas fun in the morning.

evelyn got a bitty baby from grandma and grandpa. she is really into babies right know, so it was perfect!

and your not going to believe it, but evie's crafty aunt sasa made her a very special gift. she made bedding (mattress, pillow, sheet, blanket) for the wood baby cradle that sarah and i shared when we were kids! i had no idea she was doing this, but was very touched when i saw it.

cradle with all the cute bedding sarah made...evelyn loves it, she can fuss around with her baby and blankets for ever! :)

payton thought he might want to sleep in the cradle!

evelyn was a little confused at first to why the eyes of her baby closed when she layed her down...here she is trying to make the eyes open :)

cute cousins giving hugs...

pj time...notice deer has an orange leash these days!

once again we had a awesome holiday season with our families! we left each celebration feeling very spoiled and loved....THANK YOU!!!

ps-brian got me a really fancy camera for christmas. i totally wasn't expecting it, so i'm a little gun shy right now. but, once i get it figured out i think it will be a lot of fun, so stay tuned!
