Christmas #3

On Sunday the 30th, we celebrated again with the Barnes families.  Everyone was there including Coral's sister and her family.  Claire was especially looking forward to playing with Katie.  (Could you not just die looking at that photo of them hugging?!  Oh I love it.)

Katie also got a Doc McStuffins doctor kit from Santa so I gave both girls a headband like Doc wears and Big Books of Boo-boos for them to record all their check-ups. 

Claire also got a V-tech laptop, a new magazine subscription, a bathrobe, an owl purse, and a stuffed animal from Jake that she can draw on.  So many nice things!!  Fielder got diapers, an outfit, and some musical toys.  He also got this giant Mickey Mouse - Rob had given it to Jake when he was 13 months old so it was very sweet of Jake to think of it and pass it on to Fielder!

Coral prepared a very nice dinner for all of us - ham, chicken, mashed potatoes, carrots, rolls, and a red velvet cake.  It was another hectic night (I guess it's just going to be chaotic for the next 5-10 years right?!) but so much fun to all be together.  We don't get to see Matt, Alison, and Katie nearly enough - we were so happy that Alison was feeling better and able to come to Richmond.  (Poor thing got the flu on Christmas)

It was hard to get everyone to settle down for bed that night....Claire stayed up late playing on her laptop and refused to take the bathrobe off!
