Christmas Eve of '09 started innocently enough...
With about a foot and a half of snow. Mallory is surveying the driveway that is only about 1/3 of the way shoveled.
Eventually we made it to church, and then back home for dinner and presents with Nama and Papa. Of course, Samson wanted to get in on the present opening.
Papa is helping Mallory open up her new doll, which she has oddly enough named "Baby".
The big surprise was that Mallory got her own Radio Flyer Wagon. While she wasn't too keen on it at first, we have gotten quite the use out of it this summer.
...check out what was in our stockings.
From there it was time to open some presents from Mom and Dad. It didn't take Mallory long to start using her new art easel.
Then we went over to Nani and Poppa's house where there was a surprise visit from Santa Claus. Mallory liked him from afar, but didn't want to get too close without Mom being close by.
Mallory's got a new kitchen set from her Aunt Jill and Aunt Bobo.
And although I think this new set of golf clubs was for Mallory, Dad was definitely more excited about it than she was.
