We had quite an extended Christmas this year...
CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY... the weekend before Christmas we got Taylor's present... an upgrade to her favorite play gym, Rob put together this jumpy/bouncy thingy with an assortment of attachments and gadgets (T's favorite is the little sunshine hanging in the front). I like to think of it as NASA training (looks a little like some gyroscope or something with those cross bars... but then again, I'm a nerd and would love to be an astronaut myself, and that's another story for another day).
Since she doesn't know the difference between Christmas and any other day we gave it to her that day... she seemed to like it. She's already learned that it's usually more fun to keep her hands near the toys as opposed to in the leg hole... she's so smart... maybe she IS NASA bound?!
She worked pretty hard and was pretty tuckered out after all that fun... 
CHRISTMAS CAME RIGHT ON TIME... I'm not usually one to dress up my daughter like a doll, but T looked so cute in her Christmas outfit and I couldn't resist... she had already kicked off the cute black shoes when this shot was taken, but you get the picture. :) We spent Christmas Eve at home. The wind knocked out the power and our simple pasta dinner turned even simpler when we scrounged around and made tuna sandwiches since we couldn't boil water without pulling out the camping gear. 
We spent Christmas Day at Rob's parents' house... the dogs took a moment to relax a little, and we had some good food and good family time.
AND CHRISTMAS STAYED LATE... we spent the day after Christmas at my folks' house where we opened presents and had an enjoyable time hanging out with family. Aunt JuJuB and Taylor stayed cozy in the blanket when we all went outside to play with this goofy Hydrogen powered rocket that belongs to my dad (yes, he's a nerd too).
We had a really nice holiday... and I'm thinking Christmas is lingering even longer since Rob is on Christmas Break for the next week and I took the time off to hang at home with him and T. I love all the memories we made this year and can't wait till T really gets it... I'm thinking a birthday cake for Jesus is going to be a new tradition one of these years.
