ha. where's millie's face?

after a quick trip to walmart for millie-sized snow clothes, we spent a few minutes outside playing in the snow. we were only able to find size 3T snow pants & size 5 boots, so she wasn't able to run around and truly play. it was all a bit too big on her, but we made it work. hopefully we will have snow in Colorado soon!

Today was another fun Christmas with G's family... lots of fun presents & laughs at Millie.

a ramey christmas.

We were all super excited to see Millie's reaction this morning to all of the presents under the tree! She woke up about an hour before my brother & Jess arrived, so we had to keep her contained in our bedroom as long as possible. Sesame Street kept her there for about 30minutes, before she wanted to get out & explore. She walked out into my parents' living room... and at first sight of the presents, said "whoa!" She went straight to one wrapped in Sesame Street paper and instantly ripped the paper off... luckily it was for her! We needed a few more minutes of entertainment before Chris & Jess arrived, so we did her stocking. She loved all the goodies... especially the playdoh! Once we opened it, she was obsessed with it and no other presents came close to the excitement & fun of playdoh. Who knew! We got lots of awesome presents from my parents and from Chris & Jess! And Millie got lots of awesome toys... She will love having new toys when we get home! After presents, we had a huge lunch and then relaxed while Millie napped. Once Millie woke up, we headed over to G's parents' house for another Christmas Eve! 

she loved opening the first one or two presents... and then didn't care to open the others.

somehow i managed to only get photos of millie... and this one of my dad.

millie's present from uncle chris... sweatin to the oldies with richard simmons.
