Christmas 2009 Tour: Stop #1

The first stop on our family tour this year was Husband's family. We spent the afternoon/ evening at his parent's house lastnight and as expected, both kids were showered with gifts from Grandma and Grandpa, and aunties and uncles. Lucy liked playing with the paper, and a couple of gifts definitely caught her immediate attention. Although here you'll see all the piles of clothes and bags of toys behind her - all hers(!), and yet she's totally content playing with an empty box:

I wasn't able to take a lot of photos because I was helping Lucy open her gifts, but this is another favorite, with Auntie Marcey. The cute little headband is one of many that were made especially for Lucy by Grandma L.

Overall we had a great time and Lucy was such a good little girl throughout the whole loud crazy bundle of Christmas joy. She got a little overwhelmed a couple of times when we were opening gifts, but she quickly returned to her smiley self. We were amazed at how well she held up. Brandon had fun as well, and then was kept busy hauling everyone's loot out to their cars. We are headed to Iowa on Thursday to round out this year's Christmas Tour...a string of family celebrations that is sure to bring more fun!
