Christmas Eve 2010

Christmas Eve festivities started at the Johnson's at about 1:30 where we had yummy appetizers and opened gifts:

Gracie, Abby and Julia in their pretty Christmas dresses

Abby just wanted down to play with the toys...


Helping Nana open her gifts

Abby refused to put down Aunt Stacey's phone...

One handed attempt to open her gifts

Serious Abby

Gracie loved her backpack of coloring stuff

Off she goes! Too funny!

Julia loves to help Abby when ever she can

A doll!

This is Abby's "it hard" or frustrated sign--she squeezes her fists and shakes them while clenching her jaw...it is so funny to see in person! She just wanted to hold her doll and Daddy wasn't get her out fast enough

Can I touch her yet?

Almost time to hold my new doll

Time to open the next gift

Abby got so excited each time she opened a gift. She let out a little "yeaaaa" for each one.

Then it was time for a visit with Grandma Kat, Great Grandma Davis, Aunt Lauren and Uncle Jason! This was a special visit since everyone but Great Grandma lives out of town and we don't get to see them as often as we would like. It was nice to get some one on one time with them during the very busy holiday visit.

After a long day of visits, gifts and food we headed home and got ready for the big day ahead of us!! I was so excited for Abby's second Christmas after the preview Christmas Eve gave us!
