To Grandmom and Poppy’s house we go….

Posted By on December 26, 2014

After all the mad present unwrapping at home, off we went to Grandmom and Poppy’s house. Sam was bursting at the seams to open her gifts. She saw them all in the back room for weeks, wrapped in Frozen paper. She had such a hard time waiting for Christmas morning!

Finally, she gets to open her presents! A Lalaloopsy baby, Elsa and Anna dolls, and a whole bunch of other goodies were waiting for her.

Bella is never quite sure what to make of Christmas…

We made Sam pause, just for a minute, so we could try to get a Christmas morning picture.

Ok, back to the gifts! Sam was showing her Poppy what a Lalaloopsy baby is. I’m not sure he gets it but like a good Grandfather, he tries.

Sam made Mark and I a ton more presents, including this adorable little string of lights made with her fingerprints that she did at school.

She made this glittery picture for her Daddy.

Grandmom and Sam worked for a long time decoupaging leaves onto this gorgeous frame for us. I can’t wait to hang it up.

Sam loves the recordable books everyone makes for her. All her grandparents recorded one, and I did one for her too. She recorded a few herself, and Grandmom and Sam recorded this book for Mark and me. I love having her little voice recorded to hear over and over again. It will be really special someday when she is older, and she loses that adorable tiny voice she has. I can’t imagine what she will sound like when she is older.

Sam made a card for her Poppy. He is always watching old black and white cowboy movies and Sam knows her Poppy loves cowboys. This is the card she made.

Mark and my mom were taking so many photos, that Sam wanted to try to take some herself.

These are the pictures she took of her Grandmom and Poppy, and of us. She did pretty well!

Sam gave Grandmom and Poppy an ornament I ordered for her, made out of a picture she drew. They loved it!

Here is the picture. She drew this at school and it was so impressive, I had to do something special with it. Pop Pop got the same ornament and I made one for myself.

Last gift for Mark and me, the ornament she made at school. My mom was great at squirreling away all the little gifts she made at school so we had lots of Christmas surprises.

We visited a bit longer, then off to the Myers house we go!

    Sam got to wear her Christmas dress a lot, but where were her fancy tights?!!! She looked very pretty in this dress.
