Brittain’s first Christmas Eve was a busy one. She attended church 2 times that day…which worked out well. She was able to get both of her Christmas outfits worn. 🙂

Christmas Eve morning, wearing an outfit from Mimi:

Christmas Eve night, wearing a dress made by Gramy. I think she knows she looks cute. What do you think?:

Brittain’s entire family:

Always the center of attention:

Brittain didn’t want the night to end, so we made a quick visit to Mimi and Duke’s where she was SO glad to see her Great Aunt Susan again:

She then took some time to play in her jumperoo (an early Christmas gift from Mimi and Duke):

Brittain then went to an after party at her own home (yes, she is a well traveled child):

Spending time with Jenn Gill:

All of the Gill cousins. It was the first time in 8 years that they’ve all been together!:

Brittain’s first Christmas season continued with a party at her friend, Kyla Rose’s. It had been a while since they had seen each other, so she enjoyed catching up and learning what it’s like to be over 1 year old! Brittain can’t wait until she’s a big girl like Kyla Rose.

Kyla Rose recognized her bouncy seat (that we are borrowing temporarily):

Amanda greeted Brittain when she arrived:

Kyla Rose found that it was much more fun being backwards in the bouncy seat:

Brittain and Kyla Rose chat:

Daddy found a good beer holder:

Kyla Rose showed Brittain how to use her Baby Einstein play center:

Brittain enjoyed an afternoon ladies brunch this past weekend. What fun! The aerobics class that Mom and I attend got together for good food, good company and an ornament swap!

Mary and Patti pose for a quick picture:

Toni Turner:

Brittain fell in love with Toni’s mom right to begin with:

Our fearless leader, Jo Baxter:

And the whole group (with our ornaments):
