Holly Jolly Christmas! it is the best time of the year after all!!

We had such a fun Christmas! We stayed here in Virgina and my friend Rebecca invited us to spent Christmas eve with them at her family party! And boy was it a party! I guess it has been going on for over 30 years with neighbors and friends and it was so great fun to get to go! They did a huge wonderful dinner, then after shared some talents!

Joey and Kev enjoying the singing!

Joey wasted no time making her self at home, she got up and sang with Rebecca's girls! Aren't they adorable?!

She played and sang Jingle Bells with the whole bunch!

And was one of the wise men in the Nativity! it was pretty much the cutest thing I had ever seen! I told her she had to go give her gift to baby Jesus so when it was her turn she walked right up to the baby and started talking to the baby and trying to give her her gift, I guess I should have said to go daddy instead! It was really funny!

The whole Nativity, Kev is on the end sitting next to Rebecca's brother. When they walked in, Rebecca's boy said "hey two uncle Andrews!" It was pretty cute!

Thanks so much for having us Rebecca and family! It was so fun and so nice to be with a big family on Christmas Eve, it helped so much to make me not feel homesick!

The day after Christmas, which is when we celebrated Christmas, Santa brought Joey a big surprise... Grandma and Bompa!! They flew out right before they grounded all the planes in Salt Lake! And we are so glad they made it! Joey woke up the next morning and walked out of her room the same time Marj was coming out of the bathroom, she looked at her and yelled "Grandma came to Jojo's new house!!" and gave her a big hug! She was so excited!


Waiting on the stairs by herself, a tradition in the making! next year she will have some company at least!


She asked Santa for one thing for Christmas, a DRUM! She was so excited and done opening gifts after she got it!!



I'm not going to lie, it is pretty loud but totally worth it, she drums and sings and has a blast! I love it!


A few other things that topped her Christmas list, Kermy! He hasn't left her side and she has only gotten out of bed once since he came and that was to get me to try and help her find her Kermy who was already in bed, she just didn't see him! Thank you Kermy!

Her new coloring book. She only colors peoples faces, I can't figure it out but think it is pretty funny!


It was such a great Christmas! Thank you so much to Grandma's and Grandpa's, aunts and uncles and friends for making it turn out that way! We loved it, even if it was sixty degrees and sunny here! I think next year we will be heading back to the snow!!

Joey is absolutely beautiful! I love that picture of her with her headband and one of my favorite dresses in the entire world! Glad you had a fun Christmas. The first one away from home is a little difficult! Next year we'll be at the Christmas cabin spending the weekend snowmobiling!

We loved having you there Christmas Eve!!! You know you are welcome any time :) I told Kevin that now you know how to get there (and won't have to knock on stranger's doors)- you're pretty much just invited anytime.
