Christmas Morning 2009

The birth of Jesus, oh what a blessing! We were so thankful to celebrate his birth at home this year. Hannah Claire doesn't really get it yet but she did say "pappy bwirfhday gee-gee" (or happy birthday Jesus). She did have lots of fun this year. She was a little skeptical at first, I'm thinking she thought Santa was in our living room and you can scroll down to see her reaction to Santa. It did allow me to get the most precious picture of HC and Daddy.

She warmed up fast. She took a seat at her new table and dove into her stocking.

Mawmaw & Pawpaw gave Hannah Claire a basketball goal. She made a beeline for it once she finished up with her stocking. Her favorite thing to do was get the ball and back up to Pawpaw so he could pick her up and let her dunk it.

After shooting a few hoops HC tore into her other gifts. Look at the focus on that face.

Who said there is only one way to open a present, not Hannah Claire!

After opening and playing with all her new toys, Hannah Claire went to one of her favorite things, cutting up with Pawpaw.

Mawmaw & Pawpaw also gave Hannah Claire a cabbage patch doll. His birth certificate says his name is Ramon Vincent but we call him RV. She loves him! She hugs him and kisses him (and often throws him to the floor but we don't have to talk about that).

RV came with his very own pumpkin seat. HC loves to tote him around the house in it.

At one point when the adults were opening their presents Hannah Claire (with no prompting) went around and gave sweet sweet hugs to everyone. She may be the sweetest kid ever! We had a big ol' southern Christmas lunch. It was yummy! After a little relaxing we had to get ready to head up to Florence for the Smith family Christmas. We had so much fun and we were so thankful Mawmaw & Pawpaw could join us for Christmas day.
