Christmas 2008

This Christmas was so much fun! Ashlyn is at the age when she is starting to know what Christmas is all about which makes Christmas even more exciting for us.

This year for Christmas Santa brought Ashlyn her very own big girls bed. We had painted her room a couple days before Christmas, and then on Christmas eve Jarom put her bed together so when she woke up Christmas morning it would be waiting for her. When she woke up and went into her room she was so excited she got right up in her bed and didn't want to get down.

She looks so small in her big bed!

She was so excited to open her stocking mostly because of all the candy she got!

She was so excited to open her gifts. She even wanted to open daddy and mummy's gifts.

She got sheets to go on her bed as well as movies and clothes.

Here's Ashlyn in her new bed again with her new sheets on it.

She is pretending she is sleeping!

That afternoon we went over to Pops and Nanny Mangerino's house for Christmas dinner. As we were driving over to there house we noticed these really cool rainbows.

Here's Ashlyn opening more gifts at their house.

Christmas dinner was really good. In England one of the traditions that we have is before we eat dinner we pull Christmas crackers and inside of those is a joke, a toy, and a paper hat that you wear while you eat dinner. So here is Ashlyn in her paper hat which she loved because it is the same colour as her room.

Then that evening we went over to Grandpa and Grandma Viehwegs house to open gifts with them. Here is Ashlyn with her loot!

We had a really great Christmas and hope you did too!
