We first did Christmas with Aunt Kim and Uncle Ben, because they had to fly over Christmas. Aunt Kim saw Alina's love of tents on the blog and gave her a princess castle/tent to play with. We set it up at my parents and she and Lily (cousin) played in it a bunch. My mom was also moved by the tent post, and Alina got another tent equipped with sleeping bag and flashlight so she and daddy can campout. This girl loves tents!
Lately Alina loves to help anyway she can. Here she is "making" as she calls it at Nina's house. She helped make the scalloped potatoes and green bean casserole!
Alina has so much fun with her cousin Lily. They just run around the house playing all day.
Lily also loves our dog, Major. Here she is going on a ride, not sure what Major's thoughts are on this, but he does love to play with kids.
The girls had lots of fun opening presents. Alina got excited about the "bug" we got her.
Later, at Gigi's house Alina got a chance to see two of her great-grandmothers. Here she is helping Grandma Eva open a present.
Then they played piano together!
This was also an 'Elmo' Christmas for Alina. For as much as she used to hate Elmo, she now loves anything with Elmo on it!
What a big, beautiful girl we have! She will be a great big sister in a few months!
We spent some time visiting Granny Bea as well. At her house, Alina loved to be the center of attention and put on a show every time we went over.
We are thankful that she gets to spend so much time with her family, but Justin and I are ready to have our doodlebug back!
