Christmas Day Part 2!
Posted By pamelamyers on December 26, 2015
First stop, the Ricciotti house! Sam loves seeing her Grandmom and Poppy and getting to open all the gifts that have been waiting for her. Grandmom always leaves the wrapped gifts in the computer room and Sam knows exactly which wrapping paper is on her gifts. She just about bursts waiting for Christmas Day!
One of the first gifts to be opened was one of the many Sam made for her Daddy. She took a ton of pictures with her camera on Christmas which we just loved. She is going to be quite the photographer, just like her Dad.
This is one of Sam’s photos!
Sam also made Daddy a kiss box. She made me one a while ago. It is something she read about in one of her books. She figured since Daddy travels all the time, he needs a kiss box to go with him, just in case he is in need of one of her kisses.
I love the look of glee on her little face. That’s what Christmas is all about, isn’t it?
Sam painted a special Christmas ball for Grandmom…
…and Grandmom gave Sam a special necklace. Sam’s necklace is a portion of Grandmom’s necklace, which is shaped like a heart, and has the hole where Sam’s piece fits in. The necklace has a message that a little girl stole a piece of Grandmom’s heart. Sam loves it, of course.
The Myers family. 🙂
It’s picture time for Bella!
Sam is giving gifts again. This time, a snowman ornament for Poppy that says, “I love you.”
And Poppy’s special gift, a Shutterfly book full of pictures of Samantha and Poppy, just like we made for Grandmom a few years ago. Needless to say, Poppy loved it. He does love that little girl.
After all the gifts were opened, it was off to see Pop Pop and the rest of the family. We’re ready to open presents!
One of Sam’s favorite gifts from Pop Pop was this little pet carrier she can use when she plays veterinarian.
Poor Ryder was so tired and overwhelmed by the day, but he tried to hang in there!
RC cars! Boy, Sam and her Daddy are going to have a blast with those!
Samantha really loved seeing her cousins, especially Trinity. She likes having another little girl around, and I think she likes that she is older than Trinity and can thus, somewhat boss her around! Sam likes little kids. She’d be a good big sister.
Pop Pop made us this really nice cutting board. Can’t wait to use it!
And he also made this rocking horse for Ryder. Mark helped a bit and Sam was at Pop Pop’s house quite a few times while it was in progress. She couldn’t wait to see how it turned out!
And ride it, of course! All the kids were riding it over and over again.
That night, it was back home for dinner with Grandmom and Poppy. It was a long day, but a good one. Christmas is a pretty magical time, but it goes by so quickly. It’s hard to believe another Christmas has come and gone. But we are lucky, we have family to spend it with, and are fortunate in that we can buy each other nice things and have enough vacation time to be able to spend time doing everything we want to do with the people we love. Merry Christmas!

Wow. The rocking horse is amazing and so special because Pop Pop and Mark made it. I never saw a picture of Trinity before. She is very pretty. I love Sam’s little pet carrier. Did she try to put her kitties in there⁉️ So glad Sam’s Christmas was so special and glad you posted about it.
