Christmas at Grandma's and a visit with Santa~

What a full weekend we had. Friday evening started it off with a visit to Santa at the mall. Taegan did great with Santa. She sat on his lap and clapped for him and really did well. The flash broke right as they were taking her picture so she had to sit there for about 5 minutes while they fixed it and did great. I was very happy with the pictures...

Then it was off to Grandma's Saturday around noon. We timed it just right so that she would nap for the two hour drive. She did great and woke up about 5 minutes outside of town. What a good girl. We had a great evening hanging out with everyone and catching up with the family. We relaxed and let the kids play. Taegan was pretty quiet and not herself as much as she usually is, but she was great nonetheless. Sunday morning arrived and it was her big day. Her first experience with presents and all the commotion. She decided to give Dad a nice wake up in the morning-
Once we got Dad up it was time to get all dressed up in her Christmas outfit and show the family. Here she is with Dad ready to go out and play with everyone.


We ate breakfast, played with cousins for a little bit and then it was time for presents. We were doing presents at about 10:15 which is prime naptime for Miss Taegan so she became rather fussy. She had been an angel the whole visit and decided that now that the whole family was all together in one room she needed to make a scene! Needless to say we quickly opened her presents and removed her from the center of the room. Here she is still pretty interested in the gifts.

Losing interest in the gifts rather quickly and deciding to cry instead....

Settling down for a few minutes with Grandma to play with a new toy....
And happy to have her shirt off(she was SOOO hot) and standing and playing away from the action while everyone else was opening theirs.

Overall, we had a super weekend and a blast with Justin's family!! I love going out there and spending time with them. We don't get to see them often at all so it was nice to have a night where we hang out and relax. Taegan did super well for her first stay over away from a familiar place. We expect to have more Christmas adventures as the month goes on! Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Oh yeah-we have tooth number 2!!!
