We are sick of Christmas!

Finally!
I have been trying to upload my pictures for days and it has not been working
Now I am behind and have to catch up!

We really aren't sick of Christmas
We love Christmas!
We were just sick during Christmas at our house this year
Gray got the flew a few days before Christmas
then Mark came down with it on Christmas eve
We didn't do much but Mark was feeling well enough to go eat dinner with my family
We then read the story of Jesus's birth out of the bible and The Night Before Christmas
Gray was so reverent while my dad was reading!
I think she was copying my mom who had her arms folded!


Then Gray got to sit on Grandpa's lap for The Night Before Christmas
She kept trying to turn the pages early
She likes to read her books fast!

We then came home and layed out our stocking
Gray put her's next to mine!

On Christmas we decided to wait and open presents after church
We hid all of Gray's presents and stocking so she wouldn't see them
Here she is in her Christmas dress eating a waffle

I tried to get a picture of her in her dress
She wasn't being too cooperative
I love the look on her face though!
Little stinker!

Gray loved the animals she got in her stocking!

Mark had been burning himself for weeks with a broken shovel for the fireplace
Santa brought him a new one finally!

The book Go Dog Go is one of Gray's favorite presents
She loves this book and we have to read it a lot
She brings it to me and says, "Dog book..read it"
How can I not?

Santa left Gray a VERY big present
Gray loved opening presents
She unwrapped her's and all of ours!

A 4-wheeler from Santa
We saved the big present for last
Once she got this she didn't care about anything else!
My pictures got all out of order!
At least I finally got them on here!
Gray led the songs we sang at my parent's house Christmas eve
This girl loves to lead!

She also sat on her stocking after placing it out for Santa
How cute is she?

And last a picture of us after church on Sunday
Probably the most dressed up I have ever been on Christmas!
We did love being able to go to church and hear the beautiful music about our Savior!
After church I spent the rest of the day in my nice pajamas I got from Mark's mom
and the last picture is me opening a sweater Mark bought me from American Eagle
He knows me so well!
Just to show I was present while opening presents!

I love the picture of Gray sitting on the big present and the other one of her on her new 4wheeler! The look on her face is priceless! I just love that little girl... she is adorable and I always have to smile when I see her. I think because her little personality is SO much like Kaeli's was at that age... it takes me back and makes me a little sentimental! I'm such a sap! :)
