Christmas Part 1

Last week we were in Burke, VA celebrating Christmas with Tracy's family. Casey had lots of fun entertaining Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom. Aunt Kel was in town too to play with her favorite niece; and Aunt Marcy, Uncle Stuart, Lily and Jack were around too providing Casey with plenty of playmates and loads of attention. We kept busy with shopping, decorating christmas cookies, sledding in the 2 feet of snow, and playing with all of GG and GT's toys. Casey loved showing off her dance skills. She kind of does the "Elaine" (from Seinfeld). There is a little jump, skip, one leg straight, one leg bent, serious face, lots of twirls. Pretty funny.

Christmas morning, Casey decided to wake up extra early, 6:30 a.m., so after breakfast and stockings, she had to take a nap. I think it was all part of her plan...she wanted full attention when she opened her gifts. She had a blast the rest of the day playing with all her, Jack and Lily's toys. She got a new tricycle, the Little People Carnival, a tool bench, a book that spells her name (first and last), a bowling game, a new baby, a wagon/stroller/car all in one, a new ski jacket, a computer and tons more!!! We're all having fun playing with everything.

Within the past week, Casey has been putting words together more and more. She likes having conversations, whether it's to herself or to her baby. "gibberish, gibberish, lily, jack, gibberish, gibberish, mommy, daddy, sausage, pancake, etc."
