Christmas 2009

We had such a fun Christmas this year! Alexa really got into it and had so much fun opening her presents. When she walked down the stairs her face lit up and she said wow when she saw her table and her stroller. After our little family Christmas we flew to Arkansas the next day to be with Nic's family. Sadly, Nic's parents didn't get to be with us because Nic's grandpa passed away a few days before Christmas. It was so good to spend some time in Arkansas though with Nic's brother and sister-in-law and Alexa's cousins Ryan and Emma. Then we went to Kentucky to spend a few days with my family. Alexa really enjoyed being around her 10 cousins.

We had so much fun but it's been such a cold, long winter that I can truly say I'm glad the winter season is finally over and we are ready for spring!

Alexa's Christmas "loot"

Alexa couldn't decide what she wanted to play with first so she held the stroller while she sat at her table.

Alexa loves having a tea party

She was really getting in to it after a few presents.

Pausing between presents to play with her new toys.




Having fun in all the paper.

"Finally, mommy and daddy let me eat chocolate!"






We've decided Alexa is going to be a bag lady when she grows up since her favorite thing to do is load her stroller up with trash and junk.

Alexa with her cousins Ryan and Emma...we miss them so much!




Alexa was in love with Ryan and Emma's dog Marley. Daddy wants to get her one but I had to veto that...I'm the mean one:(

So cute!










Alexa loves her big cousin!
