We were lucky enough to spend Christmas most of our family this year. In total, we celebrated 4 different days / nights. Prepare for picture over-load.
Saturday, after Blair's nap, we headed over to George and Roslyn's (Gammy and GranDad) house to celebrate. The weather was cool (in the 70's) and perfect to play outside. Good thing too since Gammy and GranDad got Blair a tricycle! She was in heaven and although wasn't 100% sure about the pedals / steering, she enjoyed getting to ride around. Thank you to Jorge for putting the bicycle together. I had trouble assembling the wagon Blair got for Christmas, so I was especially thankful for Jorge's help (and awesome picture taking!).
Aunt Jourdan got Blair a butterfly dream light! She loves it and sleeps with it every night. Gammy and GranDad also got B a new pair of light-up shoes (which are super cute and sparkly), a pretend veterinarian set and a grocery store cart (along with grocery item essentials). Fun. Stuff.
Exited about her new trike!
Big Stuff.
Love her sweet, smiling face!
Finding a comfy place to sit...
She looks like a woman on a mission. She has perfected her mother's serious, all business demeanor, whilst navigating through a crowded grocery store.

Then, on Sunday, we headed out to Hempstead to visit Gramma Ancy, Grandpa Robert and Auntie Loren. Blair was (of course) her usual, silly outgoing - self. She LOVED getting to play outside with Hank and the other horses. We love watching her with the horses, she gets so tickled by them!
Blair loved her Sesame Street chair / sleeper

Her new, fold out chair / sleeper from Gramma Ancy. It was a huge hit (and still is!).
Excited about her piano book
Cracking herself up!
New boots (again, wiggley subject)
"Hurry Gramma Ancy, I gots to see HANK!"
HHHAAAAAANNNNNNKKKKK!

Hank didn't care for the apples, but loved the alfalfa!
Love her faces in these two pics!
T and I joke around that we always see Blair in this blur because she is always on the go!
On Christmas Eve, we celebrated our family's tradition of having dinner at the Taste of Texas. Since the girls are in their most restless / impatient stage, we decided to go for an earlier dinner, as to miss the long 2 - 3 hour wait. Thank goodness we did. We got there at 2:15pm and waited no longer than an hour (more like 45 mins). Unfortunately Zoey had been sick, so she and Ligia stayed at home. We were really bummed that they weren't able to join us for dinner, but knew Z would be more comfortable at home. Of course, than means I got no pictures of the girls together during Christmas. My heart hurts a little because of that. :(
Blair did really great at the table (during dinner) and we kept her busy with crayons, a Christmas eve stocking filled with goodies, play-doh, etc. Travis took her outside at the end of the meal to run around. All and all, it was a successful dinner. We definitely missed Dad, Zoey and Ligia. Hopefully we will all be together again on Christmas, next year.
After dinner, the majority of us came back to our house to open gifts. I wish I had gotten more pictures of Blair opening gifts, but things can get a little hectic.
