XOXO

Usually when I get Hannah out of her crib in the morning she has some breakfast and then I get her dressed for the day. But today we decided to have a pajama party instead. Because, you know, when you’ve got jammies as cute as these it’s hard to trade them for your day-time clothes.

Who can resist a good pair of duckie footed PJs?

She wore them all the way up until bath time…

…in her duckie bath tub!

XOXO

Granana came over this morning to have breakfast and open presents with us. We sipped some delicious hazelnut coffee while I put the monkey bread in the oven. And then we opened our presents with the warm scent of cinnamon and sugar filling the room.

At first Hannah didn’t know what to do with her presents.

She was really excited to just look at them, but then Daddy showed her that there was something underneath the paper…

And that’s when the fun started!

Hannah enjoyed all of her presents and thought the paper and bows were really fun (to chew on). She is in love with her Leap Frog music table and has been pounding on it with her little hand all day and shrieking with excitement.

After the presents we ate a delicious breakfast of monkey bread, bacon, eggs, and fruit. Then Hannah took a nap, mama took a shower, and we headed over to my parents’ house for more presents and lunch.

We had a wonderful day today. But the best part came at the end when it was just me and my daughter in a warm and quiet house, getting ready for bedtime like we do every night. I gave Hannah her bath and we played with her new bath toys. Then we dried off, put on some cozy pajamas, and snuggled up together with a bottle until my beautiful baby fell asleep in my arms.

XOXO

Today Wytmer and I set out to brave the mall in order to introduce Hannah to Santa. Yes, tomorrow is Christmas Eve. Yes, we waited until the last minute. Nevertheless, we couldn’t let Hannah’s first Christmas pass by without a picture with Mr. Claus. I was fully prepared for multiple melt downs, and not just from the baby.

The mall was surprising manageable, and Hannah did great in the line, despite missing her nap and having to wait almost three hours. The only issue we had was having to come back an hour after we first got there because Santa was on break.

Right after they snapped this picture she freaked out a little and a few tears were shed. I think she would have been fine if I didn’t have to step away from her. You can see the fear building on her face. But look at her pretty Christmas outfit! And why the heck does she look so big?? Is she really that big? No, I’m going to say that Santa is just really small.

Merry Christmas!

XOXO

Welcome! Let me start by saying that this is going to be a work in progress. I have a lot to learn about the blogging world.
