A Very Merry 1st Christmas

It will be very difficult to put into words how great this Christmas has been!  So I will tell our Christmas events through pictures.  But first lets talk about that front tooth you got for Christmas…that’s right!  You literally got your two front teeth for Christmas.  One of them broke through Christmas night and the other made an appearance last night.  It has to be so painful!  You cry and it’s hard for Mom and Dad to console you.  Orajel has kind of been a life saver.  These two front teeth bring in a total of 4 teeth for you!  Bless your heart!

We usually begin our Christmas events with shopping for angels. Nana and Papaw, me, you and Daddy all do our own shopping and really have a great system down. We each get an angel and this year we got all girls.  You did a great job shopping and will one day understand the importance of giving as part of the Christmas spirit.  I wish I snapped your picture in the cart but I forgot.  Will plan to do that next year.

Our first Christmas gathering was at Auntie Karen and Uncle JK’s house for the Goins Christmas.  We decorated small cakes to celebrate JK, Jase, Ian and even baby Jesus’ birthday.  We then had a delicious meal and opened gifts.

Wesley, Auntie and Uncle JK gave you a very special baby…a Bitty Baby.  And she looks a lot like you with her blonde hair and blue eyes.  I think you are going to love playing with baby dolls!

Next, we did Christmas with Nana, Papaw and Nim.  “Let the spoiling continue!”

And then we went to Riley and Harper’s for the Gillis Christmas at their house.  We had lots of great food and more gifts!

And guess what?!?!  Santa came to see you!  You must have been a really good baby this year:)

You acted a little shy about it all first but then you figured it out!

And as if there was any question….you look like your Daddy.  We took your picture in his pj’s from over 30 years ago.

Daddyspjs2013  I love this and wish I had a copy of his pictures to really compare.  We’ll work on that.

We last had the Hines, Shirron and Herbie Christmas.  It’s always a good time!  You have a big time with Reagan and Madison.

Merry Christmas sweet baby!  Now we can’t wait to see your reaction to Christmas next year!  This year you pretty much left the tree alone and seemed to love Santa.  We’ll see about all of that next year!
