It's Christmas

Christmas morning we all were gathered around to open presents. Poppy was overwhelmed with all the excitement. She would look at her present, toss it aside and play with the box.

It was so warm out, we played a round of Croquet. Poppy had fun taking peoples balls and moving them around the course.








Poppy and Aunt Roxy playing outside.




Poppy loves to slide, she can spot one from far far away. It has only been cold enough to wear a heavy jacket and a hat one day, so far. We wanted snow, snow, snow!





Poppy is working on her smiling when we take her picture.


Grandma Evelyn put some jewelry on Poppy and some make-up.





We flew to N.C. on December 19th. Poppy did great! We left Santa Barbara @9:30 am, stopped in L.A. for 2 hours, on to Cincinnati for 40 minutes and landed in Charlotte at 9:30 eastern time. She ran around in L.A. and slept for 2 1/2 hours on the flight. What a blessing. I was unsure if we could entertain her for 4 hours.

Poppy got her first Christmas present of 2008 from the Bancroft family. The hat is really cute. I am sure it will be in more pictures. :>
