We have had many visitors during the last week. Most recently, the 2 days after Christmas, Grandma Judy and Aunt Melissa came over.
I think Greta enjoys being fed by other people, it spices things up for her! Grandma Judy made sure Greta ate up all her food, and Greta didn't even cry when Nana wiped her face at the end (she usually cries when I do it...)
On the go with the new toy from Nana (wearing the beautiful sweater Aunt Melissa made for her). One of the things Judy and Hans got Greta for Christmas is this little "My Garden Friends" set: a soft pail that Greta can put a lady bug, snail, butterfly and bumblebee into. All the critters make a little noise, and she especially loves the laughing ladybug.
For Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Shayne came over. Here is Greta in the new outfit my mom made her for Christmas. You know Greta REALLY REALLY is into you when she eats your face :-)
All ready for Christmas brunch at our house. Greta napped through most of brunch--after a busy morning of opening gifts. We had homemade cinnamon rolls with cheddar and smoked salmon scrambled eggs, as well as sausages. Yummy! Greta had a few tastes of cinnamon roll. She takes after her mama and likes the sweets! Recently she has had tastes of homemade sugar cookies and gingerbread cookies too.
Getting sleepy...
The little Christmas baby with Grandpa Shayne! (oops, this photo is out of order and was taken Christmas Eve...sorry.)
Woohoo!!! Mum Mums in the stocking! Greta's favorite! On Christmas morning she ate a few too many of these...
Greta's stocking. I found this at a thrift store and liked the idea of it living on as Greta's stocking. I personalized it a bit by adding the hearts :-)

I personalized it a bit by adding the hearts :-)Matthew and I don't put the usual items in each other's stockings, instead when December starts we put little notes in one another's stockings and then on Christmas Day it's so fun to read what we've written to each other! When Greta gets a little older we'll do this with her too, but this year it was all about the Mum Mums.
Greta's first Christmas morning...still waking up! She was ready to go at about 7:30, so I lit the candles and turned the Christmas music on before she and Papa came out to the living room. She's taking it all in.
On Christmas Eve Mom and Shayne couldn't help having Greta open most of their presents to her! She loves the bows.
After opening a couple gifts Greta finally seemed to realize what all those OTHER "things" by the tree were...she wanted to open more of them!!
A xylophone from Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Shayne. What fun! Greta loves music. Matthew and I got her a little band set with maracas, cymbals, a triangle, a shaker, and a tambourine. It's going to get even louder here!
What's inside??
This is Greta's reality. All eyes on her!
On Christmas Eve we went to Stanley Park to ride the miniature train. Unfortunately you had to have reservations...so instead we just enjoyed being there with all the lights and Christmas displays. It was probably good we didn't get to go on the train, because it was FREEZING COLD!!!
Papa and Baby.
What a display! I bet next year Greta will LOVE this.
There was a little farm area with animals to look at. Greta seemed to enjoy it. As a matter of fact, today (December 30) we took her to the aquarium for the first time--Greta's face really lit up watching all the different sea creatures, and she had a lot to say about it too--she was very vocal! Sorry we didn't get any pictures...we will next time.
At the restaurant at Stanley Park's Prospect Point on Christmas Eve.
At Prospect Point in Stanley Park--what a view! I love how Greta is looking at me and grabbing my face here :-)
I think Greta likes dogs. Here was a friendly one outside the restaurant. The family I work for has a dog named Whisky--Greta really likes her too! And when we see dogs outside she usually make some kind of excited noise and watches them closely...maybe we'll get one someday?
Matthew set up the tri-pod and took this photo of us last week. This was the first shot! It turned out great!

Starting in 2009 my main way of scrap-booking has been this blog, and I sure am grateful for it. At the beginning of last week our computer crashed. We lost everything. If it weren't for this blog we wouldn't have any of our pictures of Greta!!!
Now we have this new computer and we've figured out how to put videos on as well: enjoy!
