Christmas Afternoon

So after the stockings, breakfast, presents, and sweat pea’s nap, the family headed up to Great Uncle Jack’s (Grams’ brother) for a Buczek family Christmas.

Christmas Morning

On January 2, 2009 by Steve With 118511 Comments - PJ

Early on Christmas morning (but not that early), Penelope awoke to her first Christmas.

 Hard to tell if Mom or baby is more excited in their Christmas caps.

Penelope soon found herself dwarfed and surrounded by all the presents in the stockings.

Just about everywhere was bursting with presents.  All eyes on Penelope!

Penelope, along with everyone else,  had a great time opening presents and Penelope really loved her new toys and clothes.  Santa and everyone was very very nice to Penelope (and us too!).

Eventually the excitement of the day took its toll and Penelope took a nap, even before all the presents could be opened.  

In the middle of opening gifts, we had a wonderful breakfast.  Christmas morning was close to perfect and only marred by the absence of Grandpa and Grandma Margheim and Uncle Adam.  

Part two with the rest of Christmas coming soon…

Penny Hill Goes Sledding!

On January 1, 2009 by Steve With 10 Comments - PJ, Video
Just as the snow from the last storm was melting away, we got another 5-6 inches on Wednesday and Lisa dragged us all out to play.

Hard to tell if this is excitement or terror

Grams is telling Penelope just how cold it is outside.
