Christmas Sunday
Brandon and Chloe dressed in their best for the Sunday prior to Christmas. I had to sing in Sacrament Meeting with a group of ladies, and of course, it was Chloe's squirmiest Sacrament Meeting yet! Brandon and I took turns standing in the back with her, but at least she looked darling: :)!
We attempted to snag a few shots of Chloe in her Christmas dress, but she was way too interested in her fancy dress and the ornaments on the tree.
Christmas Eve
We spent Christmas Eve with Brandon's family at Grandma Verna's. Brandon's sweet grandma goes to so much work to make Christmas Eve enjoyable and memorable for everyone. She prepares a wonderful meal, complete with her to die for homemade rolls, and she has a gift for every single person.
Chloe was able to meet Santa Clause for the first time at Grandma Verna's. She thought he was quite great; she especially loved his beard.
Chloe loved her "Snuggletime" bear that Santa delivered. She thinks it is hilarious.
After we wrapped up the festivities at Grandma Verna's, we headed home to open our special Christmas PJ's, read the Christmas Story, and head to bed. (Luckily, Brandon figured out the timer on our new camera, and we were able to snap this lovely PJ picture.)
Christmas Morning
Chloe must have been exceptionally good because Santa sure spoiled her. She was so funny on Christmas morning. She giggled at the portable DVD player that Santa delivered, and she was mesmorized by all of the wrapping paper. She is such a funny little girl.
After opening presents at our house, we headed to Brandon's parents for breakfast and more presents. Chloe received a "Jumperoo" that has become one of her favorite toys. It has taught her that she should just stand up and jump all of the time. She's a pretty intense jumper now :).
Christmas Day
My parents, Liz and Eric made the long drive from St. George to Ogden on Christmas Day. We enjoyed Christmas Dinner at our house with my family. Chloe loved her "Sally Rowe" doll and her fun music toy from Grandma and Grandpa Carter.
Chloe had her own little girlie tree in her room this year. She thought the ornaments were so fun. They were the perfect size for her tiny hands to throw across the room.
We hope that you all enjoyed the holidays. We certainly had a very special Christmas and New Years with our tiny Miss Chloe!

Very cute pictures. That is neat that your family drove up from St. George on Christmas morning. Chloe is a doll!
Sally Rowe!!! Haha, so fun. I love that Chloe girl..I still can't believe how big she is!
And for the record; I'm doing pretty well without Jenny, though she hasn't "missed" anything yet..that'll be hard. For now, I'm glad to be busy/distracted! Thank you for being so sweet during her farewell; it meant the world to me!
Don't you love the joy of motherhood and how each event seems better because you share it with your sweet baby. I love your pictures and descriptions of all you have been doing for the holidays. Chloe is so adorable and she is the best dressed little Christmas angel.
She seriously is ADORABLE!! I can't believe how big she is getting...
