Christmas Eve at Grammy and Poppy's

First stop on Christmas Even was Grammy and Poppy's House for a yummy brunch and opening of gifts.  So while brunch was still being prepared, Bella say and enjoyed a little Polar Express with Uncle Mike.  It appears she was more entertained than he was.


She also managed to find her way back to her bedroom at Grammy's to play with her many toys she has over there.


After some super yummy food and good conversation, it was time for opening gifts.  And this girl got a lot of wonderful things--she especially loved her Marida Princess doll from Uncle Mike.


And this doll house for her princesses and other dolls.



Then it was time to make her rounds and give lots of Thank You hugs!



Finally I wanted to pose for a family photo--which resulted in about 6 pictures, and one with a good end result.  I want to know how you do it when you have multiple kids, because it was hard enough getting this one to cooperate.  None the less, it turned into a special family portrait.


Thanks Grammy and Poppy for hosting a great Christmas Eve Brunch, and for all the wonderful presents Bella received as well as Drew and I.  We are so blessed in so many ways, and our time spent with family reminds us of a lot of those wonderful blessings!

Family photos with multiple children? You don't do it. I mean, you do, but you consider it a success when one child looks like they were aware you had a camera up. Sometimes that happens in several different shots, rotating the child/person who looked aware. Then you just scroll through and smile. :)
