We first had Christmas at Ninny and PawPaw's. McNeill got to open her presents first and Tommy got jealous. It was so funny. You can tell how excited he was to get his Charlie Brown. McNeill was mesmerized by all the wrapping paper, boxes and gifts. I think she touched every gift in the room. It was such a blessing to get to visit with Ninny and PawPaw and all Drew's family.
We spent Christmas Eve Eve with Drew's parents and woke up for Santa the next morning with them. McNeill's favorite gift was her own Tico (Tico is Barry's siberian huskey). This morning I asked her where Tico was and she went and got him.
On Christmas Eve we did Santa with my family. Mom always cooks a great dinner! I wish I would have taken a picture of Kent's remote controlled shark I got him. It was hilarious! I took it to WalMart to get blown up and I got the craziest looks. Check it out... http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11562289&CAWELAID=882887841
After church on Sunday we went to Craig and Deneille's for breakfast. We watched a movie and napped that afternoon and then went back to my mom's for Christmas with the Tyler's and Dunn's that night.
We came back to Bham Christmas night to relax a little with just our family. We didn't get McNeill much for Christmas (thanks to the Axon's and our families!). Her gifts from us were an oversized stuffed animal, a chair from PB and the book Night Night Birmingham. I love how she is looking at her bunny in this picture!!
I wanted to try and get a picture of her in her Uggs (thanks Nana!). At first she hated them, she kept pulling them off and refused to stand up in them. Note the wet spot on her toe (she was trying to eat them). Her Uggs have finally grown on her and she will wear them. Thank goodness because she sure looks cute in them!!
As I was packing up the Christmas decorations I realized I never got a picture of Mc's stocking...love it!
Drew's birthday was the 27th. His family got us a night at Ross Bridge and dinner there. They came down to keep Mc while we went and stayed there. Below is a picture of her playing on her rocking sheep.
We loaded up to the beach with the Flatt's and Harris's for New Year's. It was such a nice, relaxing get away (they probably didn't feel that way with a crazy 10 month old getting into everything!). FYI- I was not abusive to my husband...it was our little girl who clawed him. McNeill was not a huge fan of the sand. Not sure if it was because the sand was a little cold or because she was disappointed in the way it tasted. Anyway, you can tell by the below pictures that she was not impressed. And, this was the first annual polar bear plunge for Drew and Blake.
