Christmas!

I know I'm a little behind, but let's talk about Christmas! So, I feel like a horrible parent, but I only took one picture of Anna on Christmas. We did however, film her opening her gifts. Christmas was fun, especially because Anna understood more of what was going on. The morning of Christmas I went to get her from her room and the first thing she said was, "I'm so excited to open presents!" It was so cute. She tore right into her presents and loved them all. My brother was kind enough to buy all his nieces and nephews presents. I've been wanting to get Anna a table and chairs for a while, but just haven't yet, so I let her uncle get her one! She loves it and was so excited to color on it. I made sure to get a gender neutral table, so when Alex gets bigger, he can use it too. I also got Anna her own backpack, so she'll stop stealing Logan's. :)

Anna on Christmas morning with some of her gifts!

I got Anna a really cute Christmas dress last year on clearance at target for like $9! This picture doesn't do justice to how cute she really looked. Unfortunately, her hair looks pretty bad. She loved wearing it. I had a santa suit for Alex, but never got any pictures. :(

I really wanted to make Christmas cookies with Anna and finally got around to it AFTER Christmas. I had made Halloween cookies with Anna a few months ago, so the whole time she kept saying how she wanted to make Halloween cookies. I had to keep telling her they were Christmas cookies, not Halloween. We also got to wear out matching aprons my mom made for us a while ago.

Anna had so much fun pressing the cutters into the dough.

She also discovered how good cookie dough is. I gave her a little bite and she kept wanting more and more.

Dan's parents and brother and sister came out for Alex's baby blessing a few days after Christmas. We left his parents' gifts under the tree and all Anna wanted to do was open them. We had to tell her she had to wait, but she could help open them when they came.

Here she is helping grandpa open his gift.

And helping Grandma open hers, while she holds Alex.

Her Aunt Becky got her this little Pikachu hat. It looks so cute on her!

Grandma and Grandpa got her a little train set, that she love so much!

We made gingerbread houses when everyone was here. I had Anna on my lap and all she wanted to do was eat the candy (surprise, surprise).

We had fun with them while they were here and were glad they could make it out to see us!
