Pre Christmas

The Saturday before Christmas we were in Columbus, and celebrated with the Laffertys. Bethany got to see all the Coshocton Laffertys, except for poor Michael who was home recovering from knee surgery. Her favorite present of the day was this red bow.
Although she did enjoy this Noah's Ark book, especially the finger puppet animals that came with it!!
What a very fun day kicking off the Christmas family get togethers!

Christmas Eve poor Bethany started a pretty bad cold. Despite the stuffy nose and lack of energy, we went to a great Christmas church service, and opened a bunch of family presents so that Grandpa could join in the fun (He had to work Christmas morning). Most of Bethany's presents were saved for the next morning, since she was very tired. But, needless to say, Grandpa and Grandma were very generous!

All the present excitement seriously wore Bethany out, so she cuddled with her daddy in her new slippers from Uncle Joe and Aunt Sherry.
Then she grabbed her candy cane balloon, and headed to bed... tomorrow's Christmas!
