Christmas Day 2008

Christmas at the Maxey house began with a collision, a face plant, and busted lip. It did not stop Katherine from having a great time opening presents. Andrew & I have decided to try to keep the presents under control, so we are only giving Katherine one present from Santa every year. She will also get three gifts from us, representing the three gifts from the wise men to Jesus.
My family came over at 9am for breakfast and to open presents.
Katherine's "Santa present" was blocks. Presents from us included a Jack-in-the-Box, name puzzle and a music DVD.

Boa from Aunt Rachel and family.

Dress from Aunt Linda.

Rocking horse from Mimi & Pop Pop.

We went to the Howard's house around 1:30pm. Amber & I finished making dinner, we ate, tried for hours to get Katherine to nap (Andrew succeeded at 4:30pm), played Apples to Apples and went to see "Bedtime Stories." Katherine was hilarious at the movie. She sat with Andrew most of the time while Lauren fed her freeze dried yogurt. Katherine thought the movie was funny and would laugh loud enough for all of us to hear and laugh at her.
