I know I am a little late with this post, but things have been a bit busy. Here is the run-down of Christmas 2010 (we didn't get many pics, but have lots of video, but uploading video takes forever, so you get to see the few pics we did take.)
Christmas Eve
We started out the evening with a cocktail party at Uncle Tom's and Aunt Krista's place. We then headed over to Gram's to have Christmas Eve dinner with Gram, Nana Terry, Papa Joe, Uncle Toby and Aunt Claire.
Maddy was the "Elf" who got to deliver presents to everyone. (Notice the owie under her nose. She got it earlier in they day from jumping off the back of the couch - she landed and got a rug burn under her nose - ouch!)
The Elf had to take a break for a chocolate cookie.

Maddy excited about a present and showing Gram.
Aunt Claire showing Maddy how to write with chalk on her new piggy bank.
Taylor trying to chew on Aunt Claire's hand while Uncle Toby looks on.
Maddy exhausted after all the festivities.
Christmas Day
On Christmas morning we woke up and celebrated with just the four of us. It was wonderful! We were lazy, opened presents and enjoyed each other. Then Papa Joe and Nana Terry came over for brunch and to open more gifts. We spent the afternoon being lazy and then headed over to Joe and Terry's for Christmas dinner with the extended family. Maddy is still a bit too young to understand the whole Santa/Christmas thing. She did leave him cookies and milk and thought it was funny he ate them. I think next year will be a hoot!
Maddy a little overwhelmed by things, so she dug right into a puzzle from Santa and ignored all the other gifts waiting for her.
She kept doing this all morning - pulling out a present to sit on it while she opened another one.
Lounging with one of her favorite gifts - a pillow pet! If you can see the junk around her mouth - she had entirely way too much chocolate Christmas morning.
