Christmas

We had a great first Christmas with Raquelle. She actually opened about 3 of her presents before moving to the high chair for cherios and toys. We went up to my parents house this year again, and were blessed to have Krista and her family there as well. The only thing missing was Brian who couldn't make it home from San Diego this year. Anyway, here are some pics from Christmas morning.

Here is the couch with everyones stocking piles on it.

Here is the Christmas tree before the kids discovered it and after all the presents were put out. It looks like a lot, but remember, there were 11 of us there Christmas morning!

Here is my neice Mikayla opening her stocking. I believe she has a glow stick in her hand.

Here is Raquelle at home with some of her new toys. She also got 4 books, a mommy and me DVD activity set, and some clothes. Excuse the laundry on the couch. Every time I get it folded, Raquelle decides to play with it and it ends up in a big pile again.

She's not quite sure what to think of the ball popper yet. I'm sure she will absolutely love it in the next few weeks. I loaded it up and turned on. She tried to use the red button to stand up and all of a sudden, balls are flying in the air everywhere! She stopped, stuck her lower lip out, started shaking her little hands (scared of it), then crawled over to me. She crawled up in my lap and then once she was safe with mommy, she was willing to watch it and clapped her hands and was happy. After a few more times playing with it with mommy or daddy, she is starting to try to play with it on her own. She hasn't figured out to but the balls back in after they pop out though. She thinks when the balls pop out she is suppose to go get them and suck on them.
