Baby's First Christmas









































Today was more special than any Christmas b/c Daniel is in our life! We have been so blessed by God when Daniel joined our family. Michael and I just want to kiss and hug Daniel all day on his first Christmas. Gram and Pop-pop got in some play time with Daniel this morning while he was hanging out in his Christmas PJs.

Aunt Valerie, Uncle Eric, Nana and Grandpa joined us around noon for Christmas. While Daniel was taking his nap, all the adults opened our presents! Then our little angel got up and we opened all his presents - he got a ton of loot and really liked the wrapping paper the most. Michael and I had a blast sharing his presents with him and taking a ton of pictures. Daniel was definitely the star of the show.

We had a lovely prime rib dinner with the family and Daniel got a bottle! He was really focused on the pumpkin pie that Mommy was eating.

Our best present ever is Daniel! We started a new tradition where Michael and I give Daniel a book at Christmas and write a special note to him. Plus Michael had me hunt for my gift all over the house with little clues! Nana made a special new stocking for Daniel for our house and one for Nana and Grandpa's house that matches all the other family stockings.

I said special prayer this morning for Daniel b/c he has made this holiday so special and so much fun for our entire family!
