Christmas and 1 Year and 19 Weeks Old

Wednesday the 21st was a wonderful day Cody came home from India!  We weren't sure how Lulu would react to Cody when she first saw him.  At first she wasn't to sure about him but she gave him a hug and then wanted down.  Once we got home Lulu didn't want to let Cody out of her sight or reach she just hugged him and held on to him so tight.  It was so cute.  Cody would sit her down and she would cry and reach for him until he would pick her up.  I think she is afraid of him leaving her again so she doesn't want to lose sight of him.  She loves her Dada so much and she missed him so much while he was away!
I love this picture of her face and how happy she is her eyes sparkle.


On Thursday we went out to find our Christmas tree as a family.  It was a nice day but it was still really cold I forgot my coat but Cody was so nice to let me borrow his coat and Lulu was able to wear her new coat.  
Look at her so sweet!
Lulu and I taken our turn at cutting the tree!
Cody and Lulu's turn to cut the tree!
All of us in front of our tree!
Lulu by a little tree just her size.
It was kind of muddy so I put little zip lock bags on her feet with rubber bands to hold them up to keep her shows from getting dirty.  It was pretty cute. 
Then that night we decorated the tree.  Lulu enjoyed doing that!
We had Christmas a day early because my sister Angie and her family were flying out to Alaska on Christmas Eve.  So on Friday was our Christmas Eve we went up to grandma's house for our party we got into teams and built our ginger bread houses.  Here is Cody and Jaron's masterpiece.  They did a great job!

Santa stopped by for a visit.  I tired to put Lulu on Santa's lap and that didn't happpen so then all three of us sat on Santa's lap and Lulu still didn't like that idea. 
Then the great grand kids did the nativity!  They did a great job. 
After we went home we got things ready for Santa to come by we put out the cookies and milk for him (I posted a picture of the kids doing that but it dissapered somewhere.  As the kids were putting out the cookies Lulu thought they looked to yummy to not eat so she grabbed one and started to eat it.  It was pretty darn cute.  
Here she is to excited for Santa to come to go to sleep!
Christmas morning Lulu is leading her dad out to the tree and look at her face she is so excited and dad is still sleeping as she pulls him.  
Here is the whole gang so excited to start opening presents.
Look at that face she can't wait to get started!
Lulu checking out all of the things from our stockings!
Here she is opening up her presents, she did a great job at opening her presents. I think her favorite toy that day was her baby doll stroller.  
How cute!
Both Cody and I gave eachother the game Things for Christmas it was pretty funny!
Christmas breakfast!
Cody and Angie had some fun with the camera while waiting to eat!
Creepy Cody!
Awww Angie!
On Saturday we took the Kenner gang to the airport to send them off to Alaska.  Everyone kept telling Angie that it was going to be an adventure going to Alaska so she thought it would be cute to have the kids dress up like Thing 1 and Thing 2 from a Doctor Seuss book and then she would dress up like Doctor Seuss and it was pretty cute.  
Lulu turned another week older and this was the best picture we could get of her. 
Lulu woke up from her nap with this crazy hair!
Lulu loved eating the Olives off of her fingers during Christmas dinner.
On Christmas day we saved a couple of presents to open with Grandma Guptill.  Here is Lulu tearing into her present.  Oh and we wore our christams pj's all day because Grandma was going to wear her's. 
Lulu's favorite present of the day was her little broom set.  She was so excited look at her face in the picture below.  It is priceless!
She didn't waste any time in putting it to use.  She loved it!
Lulu likes to sit in her baby doll stroller, this time she wanted to have her baby on her lap and she was feeding herself some pretend food..  She is so silly!


Merry Christmas!
