Christmas Night with GoGo & MK

Christmas Night, GoGo & Mary Katherine drove

all the way from Mobile to eat dinner and open

presents with us. We are so glad they came!

Lily was obviously feeling very silly that

night after all of the excitement that day. Obviously, Lily was thrilled to get a fabulous

chair for her American Girl from GoGo!

Thanks MK! Now she can support the Tigers in style!

GoGo really scored big with a bed for

Lily's American Girl doll.

Thank you GoGo!!!!!

Christmas with the Goff/Rose Clan

After we opened all of the presents at our house,

we headed to Mimi & Gran-D's for more fun!

Lily had another stocking waiting for her there.

Mimi & Gran D gave Lily a Barbie Glamour Jet.
Preston & I especially enjoyed putting all 5,000 pieces
together. I mean, really, would it hurt Mattel to
package the thing with stickers in place??
Regardless, Lily loves it! Thank you Mimi & Gran D! Lily wearing her Snuggie & posing with her new babies!
KK & Hal gave Lily a baby with her own nursery
set and a fabulous fairy doll. Thank you KK & Hal!
After Mimi & Gran D's, we headed to Mamaw's
for some lunch and more presents!

Mamaw made Lily the most beautful blanket!

Thank you to everyone for the wonderful gifts!

Trying to wake up but very excited at the same

time! Lily could not wait to see if Santa came! Checking out the presents on her little tree.

Christmas in Mobile!

We headed to Mobile the weekend before Christmas
to see everyone there and had a great time!!!
We loved all of the wonderful gifts that people gave
to us and miss everyone so much! Thank you everyone!

On Saturday, Dad treated us to a Christmas movie
at the I-Max and we went to check out the huge
Christmas tree at the Battlehouse Hotel.

We spent Saturday afternoon having a nice

lunch with Dad & Nonie and then everyone came

over to open presents with us!

Lily was thrilled to get her real digital camera from

Aubie and even took over 200 pictures!

Lily loved everything Nonie gave her, including new

books and an adorable doll with wardrobe.
