Christmas 2011 { Part I }

We had a great Christmas! We were able to spend it with my dad, Kyle’s mom, and Kyle’s brother. There’s nothing better than having a house filled with family. My dad came earlier in the week and Kathy and Cameron (Cam) came on Friday. Everyone got settled and we all hung out for awhile.

The presents… oh my

Kathy gave Hailey a special gift for her baby doll. She gave her a quilt sewn by her grandmother! It was made just for baby dolls and it is so pretty! Hailey went in her room right away and put in on her baby. Now Hailey has a high chair from my grandmother, a cradle my grandpa made and my mom painted, and a quilt from Kathy’s grandma! I think it is so cool she is able to have those things passed on to her.

That night instead of making a big dinner, we just did a bunch of hordevours. We used to do this a long time ago when we would have Christmas at my mom and dad’s cabin. It’s easy and tasty!

Kyle made some great chili cheese dip. I think this was a favorite for the guys.

After dinner Hailey got into her PJ’s and then we let her open her birthday gifts from GramIMG_0665

More play doh stuff!

When Hailey went to bed, we decided to play a game. We played Loaded Questions, which is a favorite of mine. Smile

So fun!

The next morning, which was Christmas Eve, I made some toad-in-the-holes for the fam. Then we had some fun with the new Play Doh toys!

Oh that playdoh Elmo would've been popular here too! We got that factory and then the playdoh dog, but I think I would've grabbed Elmo if I'd seen it!

Love the idea of appetizers instead of a big dinner.

Such great pictures! That really is neat that Hailey has all of those things from family members! So sweet!
