Christmas 2010

We have had such a wonderful Christmas this year! Both of our families came in town to celebrate and we made some awesome memories. Abby was in heaven with all of the attention and entertainment. Next week is going to be rough when she realizes that the party is over...wish me luck. Our families were way too kind to us and we're very grateful for their help. Thanks for everything and a great time!

Here is the video of the tradition wrapping paper wall on Christmas morning. My dad started this tradition when we were kids and it is being carried on. Abby didn't know quite what to do at first, but definitely got excited when she saw what was beneath the wallpaper.
