Wow...is all I can really say! We have had the most wonderful holiday season and Christmas did not disappoint!
AnnaKate's friend, Emerson, came over on December 23 to exchange presents.

We stopped by my mom's on Christmas Eve and my mom went ahead and gave AnnaKate her stroller and baby doll. It is one of her most favorite gifts!
On Christmas Eve, we went to church and then to my mom's for our family Christmas.
Kenny and AnnaKate= True Love
Bev and LeahGrace
AnnaKate was exhausted.
Marshall and I got a little silly...I will spare you all the pictures!
LeahGrace got in on the fun
Santa came!!!!
This year's big gift was a kitchen. She got so much stuff to go in the kitchen...a toaster, blender, pots and pans, an apron, plates and TONS of food.
Christmas morning when AnnaKate first saw her kitchen. She was so excited and immediately set to work cooking.

Dog was able to try one of her delicious meals from the new kitchen
After a quiet Christmas morning at home, we headed over to Kenny's house for our family Christmas.
After lunch AnnaKate was pooped!
After a rejuvenating nap, she was ready to go at LouLou's.
Ohh...a cupcake making set for the kitchen!
LouLou and granddaddy gave her a beautiful hand painted table and chair set.
And if that was not enough...we had my dad's family over to our house the day after Christmas. The Christmas kitchen extravaganza continued.
Every little girl needs a blender with her kitchen...

I think this picture sums up our Christmas!
We all had a wonderful time enjoying family and friends.
I hope your Christmas was just as special!
Billy and I married in 1998 after dating for 6 years. In 2006 we adopted AnnaKate. We were lucky enough to meet her birth mother and take her home from the hospital. At about 4 months old, AnnaKate was diagnosed with Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome. Through all of AnnaKate's struggles and delays she surprises and delights us daily! Thanks for marking this spot and coming back often to check in on us.

I love your blog. Great pictures of a beautiful daughter and grand daughter. Best wishes for a bountiful 2010.
CUTE! Great gifts. I love the blender. I wonder if they have a "boy" version.
I loved so many of them...Merry Chirstmas!
I LOVE that last picture! It is just perfect in every way! So glad that you had such a magical Christmas!
P.S. Tell Melissa that they do make a "boy" version- or at least it's primary colors.
Isn't it fun when our kids can really enjoy it all? You *might* have had as good a Christmas as ours. ;) AK has a lot of cool stuff!
What an awesome Christmas you had..it really shows in the pics! AK got some great gifts..I'm hoping Logan enjoys more of his..we had to postpone ours because of our blizzard..:{ Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Beautiful family, precious pictures. I love that AK plays with toys that require imagination, not just lights and music. My house is a complete lit up musical at times! Nathan loves lights and music!
Merry Christmas!
Beautiful pictures and sweet AnnKate. Looks like you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Merry Christmas Kelly! Looks like you and your family had a wonderful holiday! The kitchen is awesome and it looks like AnnaKate knew exactly what to do with it. Your home tour was beautiful. Looks like it belonged in a magazine! Hugs! Kelly F
Merry Christmas to you all!
Your pictures of a beautiful holiday said it all - AK's face is unforgettable! Just perfect!
..I wish I had a kitchen like that when I was cooking for my dolls...
Maybe AK can show Sam how to cook and clean the blender too - trying to raise a gentleman here.. ;o)
