Christmas 2011

Don’t worry – baby pictures will be posted very soon.  However we have a bunch of cute pictures to post from Christmas of last year.  We had a lovely, relaxing time at home.  Santa certainly spoiled each of us and we just had a nice time hanging out together.  Here are some pictures of the highlights.

We took a trip to Temple Square to see the lights (which Poppy LOVED – she spent most of December saying ‘wow’ and ‘oh’ about all of the Christmas lights that were eveywhere).

Poppy has also begun to enjoy dressing up – particularly as a princess.  Here is he most recent princess look.

On Christmas Eve we had everyone over for a little VanDenBerghe Family Nativity.  Poppy was Mary and was excited dress up and have fun.  Grandma made costumes for everyone (some stayed on longer than others) and we finished the evening with hot chocolate.

Cullen was a Shepherd and Maia was an Angel.

Here’s the whole gang, I’m not 100% certain as to who was what as but they sure did look very cute.

Gaby decided to add a new character to the traditional nativity story, although I am not sure who she is meant to be!

Poppy thinking long and hard about what mischief to get up to next.

After the fun was had Poppy headed to her favorite place – the tubby.  She loves to play and splash.

Next morning was Christmas Morning and Father Christmas sure didn’t disappoint – this is just Poppy’s haul!

Happy, happy little girl.

Good job she looks so cute in Mummy’s glasses, as chances are she’ll have a pair of her own soon enough.

Poppy really, really loves Georgie.  Most of the time Georgie does not care for her, but Christmas Day was not one of those days (unless Poppy had food residue around her mouth).
