Today is Samara's 1st Christmas! We arrived at Grampi's house and everyone was excited to see Samara.
Aunty Sarah was the first to grab her. Everything seems ok.
However, the paper plate she was holding distracted her, and then she realized that someone besides Mommy and Daddy were holding her!
Samara is thinking, "What is going on here?"
Next, it was Grampi's turn.
I love those eyelashes so much!
Samara: Ooh, look at this nice beard!
Samara: I must pull it!
Now it is present time! Let's see how much Samara likes unwrapping her gifts. In the video, the smoke detector was going off (so don't think there is smoke in your own house!) while brunch was being cooked. It took Samara a while to notice the beeping, and she makes a hilarious face in the video when the realization sets in.
After she opened her gift, Samara couldn't wait to play with it.
These shiny, colorful things look so delicious!
When Samara got bored, we opened some more presents.
I think next year we will just give her wrapping paper and bags, and save money on the toys that she ignored!
After the presents were all unwrapped and we were full of Christmas brunch, the family hung out a little while longer.
Here, Samara is with Cathy.
And with Mor Mor.
And with Daddy.
And a picture with Mommy. It's a Christmas miracle!
Samara started to play with her new xylophone. I was watching her and noticed that she doesn't have the coordination and/or core strength to keep her up, so every now and then she slumps over while playing it. I thought it was funny, so I captured the moment.
Towards the end of our visit, Grampi was being silly and making Samara giggle.
Before we left to visit Nana, I tried to get a picture with Samara, Grampi, and Grandma. Samara wasn't really cooperating, but somehow she is the only one that is in focus. Sorry Grampi and Grandma, I'll do better next time.
Finally, we headed to Nana's house to bring her home for a visit. She had a surprise waiting for Samara! Samara loves this truck and dances to the music. Stay posted, I have a video of it coming up.
