Christmas 2011

We went to Mike's parents house for Christmas this weekend. It was a fun family time and Molly loved all of the time spent chasing her big girl cousins. We all got lots of great presents from generous family members and from Santa. Molly was especially excited about her new guitar, it's all she's been asking for this year.

Cute Luke and Aunt Jessica

Lauren and Molly playing the iPad and trying their best to share.


Trying her best to do exactly what big cousins Stephanie and Emmie are doing.



Oh Lukie, you are so cute!

All of the girl cousins on the Rowe side of the family. I could hardly get Molly to eat her dinner she just kept looking around and smiling.

Opening her gift from new baby cousin Bryan. A super loud microphone. Thank Aunt Kris!

Grandpa and Grandma Great, checking out their loot.

One of my goals for the weekend was to get a good picture of Molly with Grandma and Grandpa. This was the best I got, hopefully when the mister gets here there will be more opportunities.

Christmas morning. All of the bigger kids on the steps waiting to come down. Poor Luke was being woken up at this point due to the impatience of the others. Miss Molly was the first one up at 5:50!

Heading in to see what Santa left. Don't mind the giant belly to your right, thanks Mike!

Pure excitement upon seeing her new guitar. So fun to watch.

Checking out her stocking. She would pull out one thing and then want to play with it and have no interest in the rest so her stocking lasted over an hour.

We only did Santa presents and then stockings and then we all headed to church where Mike and his Mom sang a beautiful rendition of O Holy Night. Then it was home for the rest of the presents.

Showing off her new Rapunzel dress and doll. I'm not sure where this face comes from, I don't even think it looks like her.

Ariel dress, notice a theme here?

Belle high heels.

Last present of the morning was her Little People Amusement Park from Mommy and Daddy. She was so excited and has played with this non-stop since opening it.

Christmas night reading with Luke and Uncle Justin. Look at those tired faces!

Overall a very blessed and happy holiday for our family. And we get to do it all again this weekend with my family as they are headed to Iowa!
