Christmas 2010

Christmas Morning! Blakely was more interested in the doggies stockings than the presents Santa left for her!

Finally she went over and saw her blocks.

and her new kitchen! It was a hit!

Then she tore into her stocking. She pulled things out 1 by 1 and would take time to look at each thing. She would start playing with them and we would have to remind her that there was "more" to find.

She got a baby bottle from Santa so that she could feed her baby.

Santa got Mommy a necklace.

and Daddy a video game. He must have known that I would never buy that for Neal! haha!

After some monkey break and orange julius Blakely opened the rest of her Christmas presents from us!

She really liked the bows!

Some dishes for her kitchen.

Drinking her tea.

Cutting her food.

Neal was very excited about this present and Blakely liked it too!

Our little chef!

I would say that this was her favorite present, her Play-Dough! She is always asking to play with her "way-dough!"

Fun stuff!

Here is the Anson family on Christmas afternoon.

Grandpa helping Blakely open her present.

Tearing it open at little at a time.

She was so excited about this! I don't know what she thought it was but until her shopping cart got put together she had a blast stepping up on the base.

Blakely helped Grandpa and Daddy put it together.

Greg was taking pictures and Blakely just stood there staring him down.

Then he helped her open up her present from Uncle Greg and Aunt Brandi. It was a fur real friends pet, Chipmunk. Blakely was terrified of it but she has really warmed up to it recently and calls it squirrel and asks for it in the morning and feeds it!

Play food!

Putting her food in her cart and pushing it around.

Caught a picture of her on the run. I love the dress my mom made for her to wear on Christmas!

Random picture but I can't believe she is old enough to chew on an apple!!!!

Christmas was very special this year, we had a wonderful time celebrating as a family and creating lots of fun memories! It was magical to see Blakely's response to all the wonder of the season!
