Grandma and Poppa's house

This year, instead of going to Taylor to see Rob's family on Christmas Day like usual, we stayed home and enjoyed the day with Gloria. The next day, the 26th, we packed up the car with our suitcases and a big box of presents and headed across the state to Rob's house.

Gloria was happy to see everyone - and be out of the car! We first opened presents with Rob's mom, dad, Amy, and Derrick.

"A teddy!"
It's not just any ole' teddy either - it sings the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes, and different songs!

"Mommy, look! I got batteries!"
(for the animal sound puzzle from Auntie Amy and almost-Uncle Derrick)

"Grandma, I picked it out just for you!"

"I love my teddy, my Mommy, and my Poppa."

Auntie Amy is ready to open her gifts!

After lunch and a nap, Gloria put on her Christmas dress and greeted the rest of the family. She had fun playing with all of the cousins. Julian even asked if she was Santa, because of her red dress with the white fur trim! Auntie Angela knitted a cute red jumper for Gloria and gave her some scarves to play with (like they do at Gymboree).
