Christmas Celebration #3

So, after we finished opening gifts at Mama & Papa D's house, we headed to Greensboro. Both girls crashed on the way there and got in a short nap. We had a wonderful time in Greensboro visiting with everyone, eating great food and drinking some good Sangria! The night was complete with the watching of Claymation Christmas!

Christmas Celebration #2

Due to Geri & James going to Florida on Christmas Eve to celebrate Christmas with his family, we had our Gilbert Family Christmas on the 22nd at Mama & Papa D's house. Mama made a great lunch that we enjoyed before we started the gift opening. From their house we headed to Greensboro for the Dyar "Christmas Eve" celebration, which will be in the next post (if I can get to that one today).

Here are a few pics from the day, I haven't had a chance to do any enhancing or red eye yet.

Gingerbread House

So, Reagan got to make another Gingerbread house, this time it was a real one! Well the house was already made and all we had to do was "glue" it together & decorate! Reagan loved it almost as she did getting to taste it!

Umm, that tastes pretty good!

Reagan's Christmas Play

Reagan's Christmas Play was wonderful and they did a really good job. Reagan did say her line but you couldn't really hear her, but she made the attempt which is great! All of the kids did really well and the parents & family enjoyed it! The teachers taped the play during the day so we would have a tape of how the play "should" be. After the play we decorated gingerbread houses and Reagan did a great job on hers, she decorated it all by herself!

Christmas Celebration #1

We had our first family Christmas celebration on Sat the 15th at Pops & Grandmother's house with our family and Kristi & Tony. The girls had a great time and Bailey finally got to meet Grandmother & Pops. We had a great time and the gifts were great! Everything was wonderful except for our 6 hr ride home!
