CHRISTMAS 2009...

We hope you all had a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
This will be a Christmas that Corey and I will never forget! We got to start early with Corey's family on Christmas Eve. We ate and visited and opened our gifts to each other. Unfortunately we didn't get any photos, just video and I wasn't going to upload it tonight...sorry! But it was fun, Charly was less than interested in her toys. She liked the ribbon and the newspaper sitting on the couch much better than her toys. Then in the afternoon we headed to Bear Lake to meet my family. We also ate and hung out, took our traditional Christmas Eve photo by the tree
(seen here)off course she had to rip her head band off!

And we did have one with the whole family later, but Charly was asleep and I don't have it on my camera...wish I did though!

I was so excited, like usual, but apparently so was Charly! She went to bed sorta late but then woke up repeatedly throughout the night! I couldn't believe that I wasn't the reason I wouldn't be getting any sleep this Christmas Eve. I think I slept 20 minutes total. And by 3:30 Corey and I gave up on trying to get the moster back to sleep. All she wanted to do was play, play and play! So we created a tent in our bed, equiped with legs for poles, and she went in and out for a good two hours! It was way funny, even when I want to be mad at her, I can't because she's just so cute! Her new favorite thing is to fake laugh, so anytime we laugh she does too...plus she gets tons of attention when she does it! So when 5:30 hit I thought heck we better just wake everyone up so that we could do some Christmas before she decided to get sleepy. So we woke up bright and early and it was lots of fun! Charly didn't care about anything really, so I pretty much opened most of her presents, but she sorta caught on by the end. At about 8:00 she started to look really tired. I opened her cabbage patch doll and was getting it out of the box, i look over and she was gone. She pretty much slept on and off all day and wouldn't eat! I got kinda worried but she did better the next night. She still seems to be catching up today even! I can't blame her, it was rough, we all looked horrible Christmas Day! Come to find out she cut another tooth Christmas day and is working on more! So this past week she's cut two! Poor girl! Teeth are rough! So anyway for your viewing pleasure there are a few pictures below!opening her presents

Fun guys- sorry for the no sleep. BTW I do think the shoes- (what are they called? I'm such a dork) make Corey's feel look long. Sorry Corey.
