Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Like always (well I guess except for last year when we had so much snow), our Christmas celebration started on Christmas Eve with Grandma Gayle & Papa Scott and the rest of the family. Here we are on our way out- all ready to start celebrating Christmas. Alexis didn't want to pose for pictures! All is calm Christmas morning...Santa has come and the Jolley girls are still asleep.

Checking out what Santa has brought. Is it what we asked for?...Yes!After opening presents at home, we headed out to Grandma Jeannette's. Alexis loved the candy (big surprise!)

After dinner, we headed to Great-Grandma Pete's. Due to all the earlier celebrating (and maybe all the candy), Alexis had a MAJOR melt-down. She cried for a long time& did not want to see anybody- very unlike Alexis.

The day after Christmas, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Kings to celebrate Christmas with our friends the Shoemakers. Ba got us our very own fish! On a side note, one has already died. Alexis was very concerned when the black fish (named Tac- the other is Tic) got flushed down the toilet. As she likes to tell everyone, it was "so dead."

After a great Christmas, we were excited to welcome 2010! Sammi was sick on New Year's Eve- well, she had been sick since Christmas (she is finally on antibiotics)- so she went to bed early. Alexis stayed up to ring in the New Year.
