The First "First Christmas"

Today we went to Missouri to celebrate Christmas with my mom's family. Every year we get together before Christmas, my aunt cooks a huge and AMAZING breakfast, we open prsents and have a great time visiting with each other. Today was Molly Grace's very first "First Christmas"! She got her first presents!




She looked adorable in her Christmas dress and Santa hat. She ate and ate and ate the yummy breakfast! She had the most wonderful time crawling all over the place and chasing all her cousins! She really wanted to run with the big kids - next year they better watch out! She only broke 1 decoration!




When it came time to open presents, she really could've cared less. She kept trying to crawl away and I kept dragging her back over! I don't think she pulled even the tiniest bit of paper off a present! She did love her gifts, though! She got the Laugh and Learn purse (complete with mirror, keys, lipstick, bracelet and money!) and the Laugh and Learn Please and Thank You Tea Set. Two things we've been just waiting for!




I can't even out into words how overjoyed and blessed I am to be experiencing this Christmas as a mom! There is nothing better in this world - no greater gift!

3 years ago as we were leaving my aunts house after Christmas she hugged me and said "next year you'll have a baby and it will all be worth it". It took a little longer than that, but I always remember her saying that to me and I clung to the hope that I would!
