Our sweet little family in Christmas jammies!
It's hard to believe how much has changed since last Christmas...
Christmas 2012
Nora was just a little munchkin. I can't even remember what kind of a schedule we were on then. I do remember that Christmas Day last year was the last time I ever nursed her. Funny the things that stick in your memory...
This year has been so much fun, though. Nora has been a joy to watch grow from a little tiny nugget to an almost-running-everywhere toddler! She has so much personality. Our Christmas Day was great!
Look what Santa brought for me!!
We started out the day at home, listening to Christmas music and opening gifts by the tree after a light breakfast-snack.
Nora's favorite part was ripping off the paper & bows!
Nora was so excited that Santa came to visit her and that he enjoyed the cookies that we made for him on Christmas Eve! (My mom Aunt Vickie's recipe... yum!)
Santa came!!
He brought her a gem of a kitchen that some little elf worked super hard to design and another little elf worked super hard to put together in the months leading up to Christmas. We can only imagine that it looked something like this before... (no before picture - oops!)
A similar old kitchen...
Nora's snazzy new one!!
Nora opened up her gifts from mommy & daddy and then we had a big yummy breakfast with the Eures!
Oooh!
After nap time, we went to my parents' house for our last Christmas celebration. There were LOTS of gifts and we had a great time! Nora was really, really well behaved, considering the number of dogs present, and we went home feeling very blessed.
Our growing family!

Helping retrieve bows. She is a good helper!

We are looking forward to our next special little gift - baby Janie!
