Christmas Pictures '06

Here are some pictures from Jana's first Christmas.


Here is our family Christmas pic this years.





This is Jana not too amused in her Christmas dress and a Mickey Santa hat.




Dada and Jana hanging out in her Christmas jammies right before bed.




Maiya with her stocking.




Our three stockings.




Our Christmas tree before the presents were opened.




Jana enjoying the mountain of wrapping paper.




Here is one of my favorite Christmas morning memories. Jana is sitting on top of my new laptop box swinging a candy cane with a finger puppet on the end in time with the music, while dancing to the music.






Hanging out with Auntie Sarah. So amused by the bow on her head!




Enjoying the rocking horse made just for me by my Great Grandpa!





Shoveling dinner in while in my Baby's first Christmas bib. And yes, I'm still in my Christmas Jammies. (Bad Mama!)




Loving her new Tigger plane!

Jana's first Christmas

For Jana, today was fabulous! She woke up around 7:30 and played in her crib unti 8. She and I got up and started working on breakfast for her. Once she was done eating, we played in the familyroom for a little while until Dada came downstairs. We opened presents and she had a blast. Her favorite seems to be the Tigger airplane, but she couldn't wait long enough for us to open her Little People.

She got lots of books, a few Christmas ornaments, peek-a-blocks, and lots and lots of little people. The biggest hit of all seemed to be the candy cane with a finger puppet on the end. She climbed on top of my laptop box, sat down and waved the finger puppet all around. Then she started swaying to the music as she waved the puppet around. I'll see if I can add the video of that later.

We then all went down for naps. When we woke, we went to my inlaws.

At my in laws, she was doted upon by Aunt Sarah, Grandma, and Grandpa - the only healthy ones in the group.

She got even more little people and a few other musical toys.

Despite Daddy being so sick that he slept through most of the day, Jana had a wonderful time. She made her great-grandpa's day by squealing and chattering with joy when her hand crafted (by Gramps) rocking horse was brought out. I could here him giggling and bragging to everyone in the room about how much Jana loved the rocking horse.

After a fun day, we returned home where Jana played with her toys and then went off to bed.

Despite both Mama and Dada being sick, she had a wonderful day.
