Christmas Morning! It's here, it's here!

Well, usually mommy is the first one up on Christmas morn, and she was expecting to have to wait on miss Lilly who never wakes up before 8:00 a.m. So when mommy was laying in bed wide awake at 5:45 in the morning and heard her Lilly Bell start to fuss.... she was SOOOOO EXCITED! She elbowed Lil's daddy and said "It's a Christmas Miracle!", he rolled over the opposite direction and mumbles not so quietly...... "Crap." LOL!

We were all up and opening presents by 6:00 A.M.

Lilly was only a little spoiled...... hehehe.
At first she wasn't so sure about the rocking horse, but she really seems to like it now. She smiles and even knows how to make it rock.

Her papaw Russell got her this super awesome radio flyer rocket! She can't quite make it go by herself yet, but she loves sittin on it and pushing the buttons while mommy or daddy pushes her around the room.

These classic, simple, stackable bowls are her fave toy that she got. They don't have any bells or whistles on them, just stackable bowls, and she can play with them forever! ( $10 toy..... woohoo!)

Lilly sittin on the "front porch", patiently waiting for her daddy to get her new b-ball goal put together.

Continued...

Daddy, the basketball coach, was showin Lil how to shoot hoops with her new Bbal goal! She loves it and has already figured out how to hoop it up! =)

Daddy, amongst the madness. The aftermath of all the opening was a little crazy... but totally worth it!
Even Mable got spoiled on Christmas morn. She got to wear her elf hat (lol, poor doggy!)

She got a few squeak toys, a new ball, and a candycane shaped bone! (which was more that half gone before we left at 9:30 that morning!)

All that present opening and playing with new toys really made Lilly bell hungry! She was standing at the gate yellin at her Papaw Russell to hurry up! =)

Nana and Papaw Sulli's

After an early Christmas morning at home, we loaded up and went to Nana and Papaw Sulli's house. We had a wonderful Christmas breakfast and got to hang out with Uncle Landon, Uncle Seth, Aunt Amber, and Lilly's Gigi!

Lilly got lots of clothes, and a few toys. I think her fave's are the elmo hands from Gigi, and the elmo shake up doll from nana and papaw.

Mommy and Lilly got matching hats! Aren't we so cute! =)

Lilly was all fired up and ready for more......thankfully, because we still had two more to go!

Christmas with the Pendergrast side!

After leaving Lilly's nana and papaw sulli's house we went to my cousin Lauren's house. We were so excited to see aunt Cyndi and uncle Doug who were in town from Arizona!

Lilly had so much fun helping out with Christmas Bingo.
Daddy won a prize! A bottle of wine which got stollen later. I think we ended up with some chocolate covered pretzels, a snowman happy holidays sign, and a book on the language of teenagers! LOL! Ya gotta love Christmas Bingo.

Lilly and her Great Aunt Cyndi!

We had a lot of fun, so much that we didn't leave until around midnight!! Wow, that was one long Christmas Day!

Our fourth and last Christmas celebration of the year was at my Grandma and Grandpa Luke's. It was so nice to see my cousin Ryan and his family who came over from Iowa.

Lilly was tryin to help others open their gifts too!
And Ryan is startin her off early.... he was showing her how to use a blackberry, she even left me a message on my facebook wall!
Lilly just loves her Great Grandma Luke. She gave her a cute Christmas Peekaboo book , a stuffed Christmas mouse, and a little nail bench with a hammer so she can learn early how to swing a hammer like mommy does!
Ahhh, relaxation!

Lilly had a wonderful first christmas! Thank you to everyone!

WALKING!

Holy Cow! I can't hardly beleive it! She will be 10 months old on Christmas, a week away, and she is already taking her first steps! She is growin up sooo stinkin fast. It is so much fun to watch her tryin to walk, soon enough she will have lots of bumps on her head i'm sure. =)
She is lovin the preasents under the tree already. We put the tree up last night and decorated it today. Lilly put on the 1st ornament with her daddy. Mable even got to put on her own ornament too! Lilly love staring at the pretty lights on the tree. We just got a little tree on a table this year so that Lilly will not be able to get to the ornaments.

WALKING!

Our Lilly is gettin so big!
