Christmas Part VI

Helping Papa open his gifts...

This big one is for ME ME ME!!!

I'm too big to sit still on laps anymore!!



Danni told Papa all about her delicious toes!

Danni says, "Stick 'em up!"


Ahntee Suz got some Danni love!


YUM YUM!!


Danni's favorite gift... a vibrating John Deere corn teether...


Don't even THINK about touching my monies... or my ATM machine!



Counting my riches....

Papa brought Danni a new "office" ...


She won't be confined in here for long!!! :)

Our Christmas celebration continued into the weekend... Papa and Ahntee Suz came to visit!! We started the fun with a huge breakfast and then moved on to presents and playtime! Papa got me a cool ATM machine and Ahntee brought me an electronic money counter. Hmmm... seems to be a $$ theme going on!!!

Christmas Part V

Danni liked eating Mama Vee's necklace...


I loved cousin Carolyn's new puppy...


I got a gift certificate to Pump It Up ... liked the bottle it came in!!


I wanted to fill up the 'squirt bottle' ...Mommy insisted it was a tub toy ...


Christmas smiler...

Cousin Jon practicing baby duty... he will be a daddy in March...


Mommy thinks I am handsome in my sweater vest...

Danni sat with Aunt Dur... who never sat... she was busy making us a fab party!!

Danni loved Carolyn's puppy too!

She got some cute clothes but preferred the hangers!!

We took a mid-day break from tearing into the haul that Santa brought us to visit my great aunt Dur in Mission Viejo for Christmas Lunch and more presents! We celebrated with Uncle Po, Aunt Kelly, Mama Vee, and the Staples family... Danni and I were spoiled again!!

Christmas Part IV

First look at the loot that Sant left!!

Danni and I posing with our goodies before the paper-ripping carnage begins... (I couldn't take a break from my oral hygiene regimen...)

Excited to get the party started!!

Danni was a little confused by the concept of present opening....

She got some Raz-Berry teethers and bibs... both were delicious...

I have mastered paper ripping...

And I got lots more practice on Christmas morning....

Daddy helped me 'build' my 'money machine'

I showed Danni (again and again) how to work my money machine...

She thinks that being a captive audience sucks....

More goodies....


Using my doctor's kit to give Danni a shot in her nose...

And one in her bum...


Danni loved the mess!

Dr. Zashi liked his suitcase...

Danni liked Daddy's candy...

Eating treats off the floor like the dee-dee...


Another hit ... the hand sanitizer machine...


I wasn't into the photo break...

The 'special straw' makes juice 'go round and round' ,,,,,


Mommy and Danni...


She's gonna be just like Daddy...

Danni was very helpful!!

Yay foe the main event!!! Christmas morning at home!!! I was thrilled to wake up to a FIRE in the fireplace!!! That Santa Claus is one cool dude!! :) I was also excited about the presents... although after I opened my money sorter, I lost interest in everything else. Santa brought so many gifts that we weren't able to open them all before our family Christmas celebration, so we had to revisit the gift extravaganza later in the evening.... no complaints from me!! Besides the money sorter, my fave gifts were: a rolling suitcase, an automatic hand sanitizer machine, a doctor's kit, and some 'special straws' .... I am easy (and inexpensive) to please!!

Christmas Part III

Opening my Christmas Eve present...


NEW JAMMIES!!


Danni just wanted to eat the paper...

Pretty in pink....

Ready for beddums in our new Christmas jammie-jams!

Christmas EVE!! This is the only night during the year that I actually look forward to bedtime... On Christmas Eve, we all open one present... I am starting to see a pattern with the gifts that my parents choose for us to tear into.... they are always JAMMIES!! :)
