Y's First Christmas

Christmas was an awesome day, but then again it usually is. At Y's 2 month doctor visit the doctor recommended that we not get her a whole lot this Christmas because she really wouldn't know enough to care much about all the gifts anyway. Well we really hadn't planned on getting her a whole lot anyway because she already had her bouncy chair, swing and gym that occupied much of her playing time. Santa brought her a couple of things that she could just lay or sit on the floor and play with and we got her some clothes. We are glad that we didn't get her toys because everyone else did. She got an ExerSaucer that is more like a personal amusement park, (it is a play mat and an exersaucer and after she outgrows the exersaucer stage it is converted into a play table) she absolutely loves it. A Rainforest Xylophone Piano, a ball that plays music and lights when you move it, a space saver high chair, a lights and sound star stacker, a singing nursery rhyme book, Leap Frog Maracas, a vibrating teething ring, links for her car seat, a snugly blanket, a Laugh & Learn "Cookie Jar", a book that her NanaB. made that is a counting book but she uses the members of the family as the counting objects, a Rainforest Jumperoo is on it's way, a few clothes, and a hooded sweatshirt from this store called Fox Outfitters that says FOX so it looks like it's made just for her (and we'll tell her just that)! Anyway, the whole family had dinner together except Lance who is on his mission in Argentina and Claudia who is in Norway. The saddest part of Christmas was that my brother had to spend the day in the hospital. A few months ago he had to have surgery on his knee and sometime between then and now he formed a big blood clot. Well it is in his thigh but some pieces have broken off and are headed towards his lung if not there already. So we're praying for him. They have given him blood thinners in hopes that they will help, time will tell, but we are remaining optimistic! Anyway, I hope your Christmas was as merry as ours was! Enjoy the pictures!
