Holiday Open House at the Gurins

The day after Christmas, Gramma Gurin generally holds her "Boxing Day" (its Canadian) Open House...This year was especially fun cause Kath and Peter were here along with Kath's best friend Abby (8 months pregnant!!) and her husband CJ. We went a little crazy posing for the camera.....

Aunt Kath brought me some bath toys and a glowing Thomas the Train toy!!!!!!!

Christmas Day 2008

Waking up Christmas morning was great! Here is the before shot.....

Taking everything out of my stocking was one of my favorite parts of the day...
Woohoo!  A new sled!!!!




Cautiously checking out my new Elmo.....who does everything from dancing to giving kisses!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve

Its official! Christmas has come and gone! It was quite a blur of activities and fun but definitely the best one yet. My wish is that everyone of you had a great holiday and many good blessings in the year to come. Now for the onslaught of photos!!!

Christmas Eve was spent as it is every year...at Grammama and Grampie's eating an incredible gourmet dinner (which included awesome lamb chops, party potatoes, and mini pizza appetizers - yummm)! In past years, the party has gone well into Christmas morning so this year was spent making sure we had all the fun in a shorter amount of time..and it worked!!

Getting ready to go!

Let the party begin! Grammama gave me this bell necklace - sooo cute!
The infamous snowman singing frosty is the tell tale sign of Christmas Eve..

Good Times at Kathy and Marc's!

OK..so it doesn't look like it was a good time but trust me - I had so much fun playing with Calvin, Molly, and Charlotte last night! Unfortunately, I did not sleep in like mommy was hoping I would but we are so glad we ventured over!!

look at sweet baby molly..........

Indoor Time..

Since metro Detroit got over 10 inches of snow over the past week..we have spent A LOT of time indoors - and I mean A LOT!!!! Here are random shots of us pretty much doing the same thing over....and over....and over.....

I forgot all about this table!! We resorted to bringing up toys from the basement..

stealing mommy's cell phone for the millionth time!

I just like the back of this tshirt from Costa Rica:)
