Christmas Fun

We had a great Christmas this year. Since this was Madison's first Christmas, we decided to stay home instead of traveling, but we made sure to send a video to Gary's family wishing them a Merry Christmas. Mimi and Papa Hal (Becky's mom and step-dad) spent the night with us on Christmas Eve and in the morning we opened lots of presents. Madison helped, of course. She is such a good helper! We know she's going to be ready when her birthday gets here; she got lots of practice ripping off wrapping paper. Poppey Greg (Becky's dad) came over later in the day to see Maddie and bring gifts. On Sunday, Grandpa (Gary's dad) came up and we all went out for dinner. After dinner, we stopped by a house that had Christmas lights that twinkled and flashed in patterns to music. It was awesome. Maddie was able to be propped up in her carrier where she could see the lights. She was totally entranced. We can't wait for next year when Madison will be able to see and do so much more.
