Christmas 2012

December 25th 

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable Christmas. Natalie took her time waking up and really enjoyed seeing all of her new toys. She had the entire day to hang out at the house and play with her toys as she felt like it. My parents and Nannaw came over for Christmas dinner and to see all of Natalie's loot. Nathan grilled out some delicious steaks, and we had a wonderful time. We were able to FaceTime with Gabriel to see what he got for Christmas at his mom's house, and Natalie showed him her presents from Santa.

Natalie loves to eat breakfast. On a regular weekend, Daddy usually makes us pancake puffs which are small, round pancake balls. We always have them with chocolate chips. On Christmas morning, Natalie took one look at her snowman pancake and wanted to eat a 'bip' off of it. Of course the pancakes were warm and the chips had softened so she made quite the mess smearing around the chocolate. But hey, anything goes on Christmas!

Another Christmas tradition- snowman pancakes.

 

Natalie after Grandma and Poppa taught her that Santa says 'Ho Ho Ho'.
