Christmas Day with Meemaw

We said goodbye to Daddy on skype and I pulled Buddy Bee away from his new toys so we could go visit Uncle Greg and Aunt Alicia's house for our Christmas with Meemaw. 

Now that Buddy Bee realized he was allowed to open presents under the tree, he was not wasting any time on opening gifts from Meemaw. 

Buddy Bee's very own Buzz Lightyear!

Buzz got a ride down cousin Ava's new slide.

More Trucks!

Now it was Ava's turn to open up her doll buggy and new doll from Buddy Bee. 

Little girls and their dollies are so cute!

Ava wanted to help Buddy Bee down the slide by holding his hand.

We had a wonderful time with family but we were soon heading back home for nap time.

After Buddy Bee's nap we spent the evening playing with toys and watching movies. 

Trying to work the remote by using his tongue. 

Along with his new trucks and Buzz Lightyear, Buddy Bee got Toy Story 2 from Meemaw.

Buddy Bee is a blessed little boy to receive all these wonderful toys. 

Our Christmas celebrations are not even over yet....

Christmas Morning at the Cabin 2012

Christmas morning I woke up to a light dusting of snow along with an amazing pink sunrise. I stood out on our porch wishing my husband was beside me.  

What a beautiful Christmas morning at our cabin on the hill. 

 Andrew (via skype) and I continued our tradition of waking up our Buddy Bee together. Buddy Bee was in utter amazement with his train set assembled around the Christmas tree.  

It was worth the late night putting it together to see his little face all smiles. 

Grampy joined us for our Christmas morning celebration.  

We pulled Buddy Bee away from his train long enough to open up his stockings. 

Driving his new trucks on the train tracks.

Every train conductor has to have his own whistle. 

Buddy Bee's very own police car.

And an even cooler helicopter.

Buddy Bee's first remote control car.

3 new movies! 

Buddy Bee spent a lot of time showing Daddy his new toys. 

Besides his huge train set we knew that this gift would be his favorite.

Buddy Bee is obsessed with Fire Trucks!

The Park family Christmas morning 2012

Lots and lots of books!

I will always remember this Christmas for the bittersweet memories we made with our love who is deployed across the world.  In all the years the military has separated us, we have never been apart for Christmas.
