Christmas Day 2011

We had great Christmas this year!! We are so thankful for our wonderful family that we got to spend the holiday's with. We are so very blessed for our little Layla, who is not little anymore!! She amazes us each day and makes us laugh all the time...we are so very lucky! We love her more than words can every express:-) 

On Christmas Day we celebrated with Grammy and Pop! Great-Grammy joined us later in the day! Since it was not bitter cold this Christmas we decided to head to the Zoo with Grammy and Pop. We had a blast. We hope to start a new tradition...depending on the weather;-) After dinner we headed to Country Inn to see the lights...another new tradition. Layla loved it!!

Christmas Eve Layla put out some milk and cookies for Santa!! When she woke up she headed right up to the kitchen to see if Santa enjoyed our treat for him!

Layla said "where the cookies go"?? Santa ate them!!

 Santa left some crumbs!!

 Layla enjoyed them;-)

 Layla wanted to play with her train...before opening gifts;-)

 Santa passed over our house in Ohio and found us...at Grammy and Pop's

  Layla found the presents under the tree!!

Layla had a great time opening her gifts and giving gifts to others! She is so good at sharing and taking turns!

A magnetic puzzle!

 A Train...Loves trains!

 Santa got Layla what she asked for...A GUITAR! Its a dog guitar! Layla loves it;-)

Pluto!

 A Hello Kitty purse!!

 We got to see the three lion cubs...SO cute!

Mr. Lion was not happy with everyone looking at his cubs!

Layla's friend! 

This Bengal Tiger kept walking by Layla and looking at her! Layla loved it! When the tiger walked away Layla would say "where tiger go?"...so cute:-)

After Layla woke up from nap, Great-Grammy came over to celebrate Christmas. We ate a Lasagna dinner, it was yummy! Since we didn't get any pictures of Layla in her Christmas outfit the day before we had to get a few photos!

 Great-Grammy and Layla!
