Christmas-2011

Her dad said, that he wanted to decorate the house this past Christmas, and this is what we got! It looked awesome! Rayn loved having a HUGE Mickey Mouse in her front yard. 

Christmas for Rayn this past year was, of course, the best one yet. She enjoyed opening every present, from the first one to the 21st one, no matter what it was! This year she really understood Santa and did her best to wrap her around where he "lived" and what he "does." Rayn wouldn't go sit on his lap; however, she would look at him from afar. Below are a few of the pictures that are her enjoyable experiences from Christmas. Her favorite present she received that she still plays at least a few times a week, was her new life size baby doll, which she named Pokey. (I wish I knew where the name came from, but I have no idea.) One day she woke up and told me that dolls name and there it was, and it has stuck with this doll forever. 

This was our first real Christmas tree, ever! She picked it out and helped me decorate what she could, until she got stuck by one of the needles! She definitely didn't touch the tree again. 

We went to Grandma Jane's house, to help with her annual Christmas cookie making and it was a success as usual! 

Rayn bats her eyes at her Uncle Brandien and he will give her just about anything she wants. Dancing being one of her favorite things to do, she suckered him into dancing with her! :)

This is where she first meets Pokey! From Santa if you look really closely at her face, you can see her mouth is open and she is super excited. 

MOM: "Rayn, can you please go sit in front of the Christmas tree and smile?" RAYN: "Sure, mom" (This is a result of that conversation.)

At Grandma and Papa's house for Christmas with my tongue out and all!
