Skinner Family Christmas

This weekend was our Skinner Family Christmas! It was so much fun and now that I am walking I am a part of a whole new world! Mama, Dada, Betsy, Robert, Rob and Matthew all went to Tuscaloosa on Thursday night to spend a long weekend with Nana and Papa! Gretchen had been their all week destroying their backyard and was very proud to show us the bunkers that she had been digging!
Friday, we woke up and it was not raining so we were able to go outside and play on the slide! I followed Rob around everywhere and just think that he is the greatest! He could slide down by himself but I needed a little help. By the end of the morning I was filthy and needed to change clothes but it was worth it because I got to blow off a lot of energy. I also got to go to Verner for the first time and visit Nana! I walked all over the school and visited all of her friends. Sha Sha showed me all of her toys that sing and dance in the office and Miss Beth gave me a green cookie. I wore my polka dot outfit and everyone thought I was so cute with my curly hair! It was neat to walk around in Mama's old stomping grounds!I also loved getting in the chairs that rock. I felt like such a big girl. Nana turned on the bubble blower and that was so much fun for Rob and me! We got bubbles all in our hair so we needed a bath afterwards!
Then it was Nana's turn to play with us on the slide after nap time. As you can tell, I did not let Rob out of my site most of the weekend. I like hanging out with the big kids. That night the adults opened all of their presents while we were asleep so that Saturday could be all about us. They had a wonderful Christmas filled with surprises! Thank you Nana and Papa!
Saturday, it was our turn and we opened all of our gifts. Rob and I had fun tearing up all of the paper and we play really well together. I really like Christmas time. This time last year I really did not know what was going on but this year makes me wish it was Christmas all of the time! Saturday night, Mama won the Christmas Pig for the second year in a row! Yea Mama!
Sunday, the Skinners left to go home to LaGrange and, lucky for me, had to leave Rob's new motorcycle because it would not fit in their car. I found it in the kitchen and decided to take it for a spin! Mama and Dada say that this is the closest thing I will ever get to riding on a motorcycle and for now I am happy with that!
This was just a wonderful weekend all around! Nana and Papa had so many great snacks for us and tons of presents! I loved playing in their backyard and getting lots of loving! I was glad to have Robert, Betsy, Rob and Matthew there to for some extra attention! Thank you for all of the gifts and such a great time!!! I can't wait until next year!
