Christmas Eve

We had a wonderful christmas eve at my folks house with katie and Beaumont (their dog) he is a standard poodle which i always grew up with but since he is still a puppy we haven't been able to introduce him to katie much cus he still jumps on people but now that katie is a little bigger we decided to let the two of them meet. it was such a hassle taking all the stuff over to my parents house for dinner. i can't believe a baby needs so much stuff. we had to take her high chair, an exersaucer in case she needed some time alone but without Beaumont all over over, her diaper bag, toy bag, christmas presents , goodness our car was full and only to go somewhere for dinner.
It was a wonderful evening. Beaumont did great with katie and no one was as nervous as bri about their meet up. when bri was in the kitchen i let beau get close and give her a little kissy!
she thought it was hilarious. which was a good thing cus bri almost had a heart attack when it happened!
she was such a good girl and her favorite toy of the night was given to her by by little brother (her uncle bill)they were so cute. he held her and they played with it for like 20 minutes. she is too cute with him and they don't get to see each other often cus he is at school so when he is home i love getting them together so cute looking at each other.
bri walked away with 2 new golf clubs and i got some beautiful clothes and some much needed mommy items.
mom and dad LOVED their photo book. i'm so glad because i worked sooooooo hard on it!

all in all we had a lovely time with a beautiful table set for the queen ;) thanks mom!
the night ended with my dad reading katie the night before christmas from the same book my grandma (katie's great grandma!) read to me on my first christmas. it was a very special moment.
when we got home instead of going to bed and waiting for santa katie had a burst of energy and daddy stayed up to play with her while mommy got ready for christmas the next day! once she was asleep daddy got her toys put together!
