Christmas, Part Four

After a morning nap, we headed to Nanny and Paw's house in Taylorsville for Anna Kate's first traditional Marshall Christmas. We were the last to arrive since someone is starting to mess up her naps and didn't go to sleep right at nine, but no one minded too much. Anna Kate and Avery played while Nanny cooked up a Christmas feast, we had lunch, and then Anna Kate... didn't nap. She threw up in her bed (while the toddler in the room next door took apart her pack and play) and didn't catch a nap until we drove to Grandma Marshalls. Luckily there were lots of toys and fun faces to distract her from total hysteria.

Anna Kate was spoiled again when Avery woke up and we opened presents. Poor girl isn't gonna know what hit her when she doesn't get toys and a crowd next week. Thank you Nanny, Paw, and Aunt Dee!

Oh, Anna Kate found her nose this week. 

Here is Nanny trying to get her to stop sticking her finger in it.

Avery being a sweet big cousin, giving Anna Kate cheerios. Notice, she was wearing a Christmas dress at one point!

Playing with Aunt Laura! 

Since AK didn't nap, we all still had high hopes it might happen and left her in her PJs.

Gigi keeping Anna Kate happy!

Anna Kate cruising over to check out what her cousin Avery got for Christmas.

Avery was not too sure about how this was going to go.

"Here, baby Anna, play with your piano."

She almost got in the mood to unwrap something!

Food! I love food.

Avery explaining to Nanny and Great Aunt Dee that her present was "a house, for painting!". We made both of the girls' great grandmothers a bird house with their hand (Avery) and foot (Anna Kate) prints.

The girls putting Avery's puzzle together. Turns out, Anna Kate is just really good at getting in the way.
