A Very Merry Christmas!

Ahhh....the sight of snow falling on a crisp Christmas morning, the husband making pluckit cake, and a cute little button-nosed baby in your lap.  What more can you ask for?  Maybe a maid to clean up the tornado that blew through our house and put everything back where it belongs and find space for the new :).  Now, that would be nice!

Ansley's first Christmas was amazing!  Jason and I decided to get her 3 gifts (a book, an ornament, and a toy).  We knew she wouldn't remember this Christmas, so each gift had significance.  The ornament we made together as a family, the book is The First Christmas story, and she also got a see-n-say farm animal toy (right now her favorite thing is animal noises).  The morning couldn't have been more perfect!  We lounged around in our pjs until it was time to head out to all our family Christmas parties.

At the family parties Ansley scored big!  She got so many cute things!  There are too many to mention, but she raked in a lot of fun toys, stuffed animals, books, clothes, an activity table, adorable coats, and money.  Let's just say...she did good!  Overall, Christmas was a blast!  There were a few stressful moments trying to get to and from places, but I think that is inevitable.  We enjoyed our first Christmas as a new family and look forward to many more!
