Christmas 2013

After our return from Florida, things were pretty hectic to get things in order for Christmas.  Having that vacation in the middle of the month really through my planning skills for a loop.  That is going to be my excuse for the utter lack of documentation on our Christmas 2013.

On Christmas Eve, I was off work so I took Parker for a quick visit to Bounce-it-Out.

That evening, we went to Papa G & Sandy's house for the annual Goforth Family celebration.  Greg has many cousins who all live in the area and most of those cousins have kids of their own, so this family gathering has grown quite large.  Parker was a little shy at first but after the gifts from Santa were given to all of the kiddos, she walked up to every person there to show off her new sparkly necklace.  It was so great to see everyone.  

On Christmas morning, we thought Parker would be so excited to open her presents from Santa and surprised at what was under the tree, but the reaction we got was much more subdued:

Once she started opening the gifts, she got a little more into it.  

On Christmas Day, Papa G and Sandy came over in the evening to open more gifts and have dinner.  It was a nice, relaxing evening (even though my flourless chocolate cake was a little overcooked).
