McNay Christmas

Before we drove up to Knoxville we had our family Christmas time together. It was tons of fun. We got up early and I made cinnamon coffee cake, and then we opened presents together. Hadleigh was hilarious about them. Dave cooked dinner for us which is tradition, roast duck with raspberry sauce, and butternut squash ravioli (which he made from scratch) with a tomato avocado cream sauce. To top it all off, we had a wonderful bottle of Italian wine.

Here is Hadleigh opening her present from Uncle Jim and Aunt KC. They sent her a little camo outfit that says "Old Ironside" which is Baumholder's nickname.
Hadleigh attacks a present.

Wow! Stacking blocks from Papa Froggy and Nana Patti! She was shaking these all day long.


She loves her new hat and mittens from cousin Matt. We found her later crawling around the house with the mittens in her mouth.



Her star cones from Papa and Nana made lots of fun noises that she enjoyed.


Great-Grandma Gladys Claire had a beautiful sweater made for Hadleigh. She played with that for a long while.


And, of course, we could not keep her away from the bubble wrap and tissue paper.
