Christmas 2007 Wrap Up

What was quite possibly the longest Christmas day I can remember is starting to come to a close, so here's some pictures of the girl with her favorite new toys! Why longest? Mostly because she decided she was ready to get up at 4:45. We thought we'd have at least one more year before the daughter woke up in the wee hours crazy with anticipation of what Santa had brought, but today she is teething and was just kind of grumpy. So we stumbled down the stairs, and began our Christmas about three hours before the sun joined us.

Charlotte loved the doll given to her from Grandma Robbins (left). She also got a cool ride on airplane (above), a book about the ABC's with pictures of her in it, and an awesome IKEA play tunnel she can crawl through (below).

As for mom and dad, I've been jamming on the new fake guitar I got as part of the game "Rock Band" all day, and Heidi's been trying to figure out her new GPS unit that should help her navigate around the worst of the traffic around Seattle. The best part of the day, though, has been hanging out as a family, with no where to be and no worries in the world. It's been a terrific Christmas.

Charlotte wasn't too keen on Santa

We took Charlotte to the same Santa she saw last year, but her reaction to Santa this year was quite different.

Here she was last year.

Just like her parents

I popped the lenses out of an old pair of plastic glasses and gave them to Charlotte. She loves taking them on and off. :)
She's working on tooth #12, and wasn't feeling that great today, although you wouldn't know it from this picture.

Christmas at the Brown's

So, there was 3 1/2 inches of rainfall today, so we thought the smartest thing to do was to decorate the outside of the house. Actually, we didn't get outside until the afternoon, when a lot of the rain let up, so it wasn't that bad. But doesn't our house look great!

Merry Christmas,
The Grisbrown's
