Christmas x 3

Well we had our very last Christmas for 2011 this past weekend ith my parents and also rang in the new year.  Aubrey's Mimi and Papa came in on Friday and Saturday morning we were able to wake up and have another Christmas.  Aubrey loved getting a chance to open presents again and of course loved the toys themselves inside. We had a relaxing weekend really doing much of nothing.  We somehow made it up until midnight on New Years Eve and Aubrey shocked us all by staying asleep while we were loudly playing catch phrase right out in the living room.  We even went outside and banged pots and pans, yep I'm one of those people.  It's always so hard to say goodbye to my mom and dad when they're here but I'm at least grateful that they can take the time off to come visit.  It's deifnitely neat now that Aubrey knows who people and and she was very excited every morning she woke up and Mimi and Papa were in her living room.  She ran out every morning saying, "Hi, Hi, Hi".  Here are a few pictures from our fun weekend.

Aubrey always asks Mimi to do butterfly kisses on her toes.  Wonder for how long my mom will be willing to do this to her.

 Aubrey kept saying her name and then saying eyes, she was trying to do butterfly kisses on her own toes.

 Snuggling with Mimi and Papa happened every morning they were here.

It was so cute to watch how excited she was to go out into the living room to wake up Mimi and Papa in the morning. Waiting in her chair for Papa or Hoho to bring in his bag of presents.

Playing with her new castle from Mimi and Papa. 

 Under the table is Aubrey's new favorite place to play, she had all of her dolls under there the other day.  She always grabs your hand and asks people to get under with her.

 Here is proof that Aubrey usually likes playing with the boxes just as much as the toy that comes in them.

Playing soccer with Papa.

Papa always makes Aubrey laugh.

 Aubrey's first New Year's Eve date.

 We had so much fuh playing games, eating as much fried food as possible, and having some great drinks.

 I'll miss my drinking buddy next New Year's Eve.

 Ringing in the New Year!

Saying hello to 2012 makes us wonder what great things this year will bring.  Kyle will finish med school and will be a DOCTOR!  He'll start residency, where we don't know yet (we'll find out Feb. 13th).  We'll make our 4th move in the 4 years we've been married.  Aubrey will turn the big 2.  So much more I think is in store for us and we look forward to this exciting new year.
