Christmas Baby

Merry Christmas Eve! This holiday season has been good to us. We've been to lots of fun parties, seen lots of pretty lights, visited with  lots of family and friends, and spent lots of time together as a family. Throughout December, i've taken several pictures of our little Christmas baby, and I've been meaning to post them. So tonight, as we gather together as a little family, I thought I'd take a couple of minutes and post about our beautiful little girl and about how grateful we are for our Savior Jesus Christ.

 

Lydia is so sweet. She absolutely loved our Christmas tree this year. We set up the tree one night while she was asleep, and the next morning when she came out she was so excited! She was kicking her little legs and waving her arms and her face was amazed and excited. She loved to have you hold her by the tree so she could touch the branches and also enjoyed just sitting on the floor looking at the lights. Her favorite part was when you would hand her a candy cane to play with (until her slobber started to get under the wrapper and we took it away - then she just would get mad). I love this little picture of her Christmas pajamas (size 0-3 months, so i'm SO SO glad they fit).

 

During Christmas - lots of time is spent with friends and family. But I enjoyed nothing more than spending time with my sweet little family in our cozy little apartment. I hope that as we spend our Christmases together, we can teach Lydia the real reason for the season - to celebrate the birth and atonement of Jesus Christ. I'm grateful that through the atonement I know that I can be with my sweet David and darling Lydia forever. It's such a blessing to me.

Here are so more picture of our little Christmas baby. They were taken periodically over the whole month of December. I thought about using some of them for a Christmas card - but ended up not. However, the pictures are too sweet not to post.

 

 

Merry Christmas!
