Early Christmas with My Family

Since my sister was going to be out of town for Christmas we decided to get together for my side of the family's celebration early.

So nice to have a home to gather in.

Here Angie starts to learn that there are toys inside the packages.

Angie was in a good mood.

Here Angie has fun bouncing the new ball Stephen and Aunt Darby got her.More presents, here Angie is opening the little pearl bracelet Grandpa Bob and Grandma Kris got her.Darby got Andy some Nerf guns.
Mischevious Andy loved them.Andy showed his gratitude by shooting Darby right between the eyes.
She wasn't too happy but Stephen was.Angie had fun playing with everyone.Stephen and Darby got Grandpa Bob and Grandma Kris a Boccie Ball set. We went to the park across the street to play.Angie wanted to play along as well.

Angie loved being outside to play!Stephen and Darby had fun too.

I love to watch Angie just run around, she is just so cute!She loves playing with her Daddy.After playing Boccie Ball we went over to the neighbor's to see their Christmas Trains.Angie just loved it and loved being a little social butterfly.

Here is some video of the amazing train setup.

Next Angie naturally went dancing along to the Christmas music over to her friend Reagan's house.

Then we went back to the house to target shoot at Darby.

Then some target shooting at Steven.

A family picture :)Angie gave Grandpa Bob a great big goodbye chat and hug.Once family left we went down the street to the trains again to give the Marines our toy for the Toys for Tots drive.Angie bumped her head while we were there. The face in this picture just makes me want to scoop her up and cuddle her all better.Our generous neighbors were able to collect about 300 toys for the Toys for Tots program.There were six Marines there and a great Christmas spirit in the air.
