Coastal Christmas

On our way to the beach to celebrate Christmas with
Tal's family, Savannah, Tal, and I
dropped by Grandaddy Anderson's house:

HTA and HTA III

On Christmas Eve, Savannah checked out the presents: 

Savannah had a great time opening her gifts,
including this keyboard from Gran and Grandaddy:

Shopping Cart from Grandma Judy

Microphone Stand from Uncle Benny and Aunt EJ

Babydoll from Grandma Barbara

Guitar

Our family loves Savannah, as evidenced by all of the gifts
she received, including a shopping cart,
vaccuum, camera, nail polish, and a book:

She also received a guitar, microphone stand, art set,
babydoll, baby stroller, baby crib, and baby high chair:

Below is a hair accessory tote from Grandma Judy:

Putting "lipstick" on Gran

"Blowdrying" Gran's Hair

Savannah loved putting her babies to sleep in their
new crib (from Grandma Barbara):

Aunt EJ

Our family can't wait for the arrival of
Benny and EJ's baby girl,
 who will be named Harper Grace:

Benny and EJ, who are ECU alums,
received an ECU onesie and hat for Harper:


Below is the cradle swing that Tal, Savannah, and I gave
Benny and EJ to help soothe baby Harper:

We also gave the expectant parents a
custom sign for their home:

Grandma Barbara also received a family name sign from us,
which Tal hung above her pantry door:


Below is the "Savannah Calendar" that I create each year
for Grandma Judy, Grandma Barbara,
Gran, and Benny and EJ:

The 2013 calendar is filled with our favorite
Savannah and family photos from 2012:




In keeping with family tradition, we ate some
yummy prime rib on Christmas Day... 

...as well as some tasty salad, corn on the cob, and potatoes
that Grandma Barbara worked so hard to prepare:
