Natalie's First Christmas

December 25th

Our first Christmas as a family of four was perfect! After Natalie tried to wake up super early (and I got her back to bed), Gabriel woke up much earlier than usual. He was first down the stairs to discover all of the toys Santa brought. It wasn't too long before Natalie realized she was missing all of the action and woke up to see what Santa left her. The four of us spent the morning trying out our new toys and getting ready for Christmas evening, which would be spent with both sets of Grandparents. Gabriel's highlights included a remote control helicopter, gator paraphernalia, a bow and arrow, and several items to make his room like outer space. Natalie's highlights included an interactive table, talking puppy dog, and bath toys. The kids had stockings filled with toys, candy, and books. Nathan and I also had stockings from Santa full of candy, craft supplies, tape measures, and gadgets. It was a Christmas to remember!

Daddy got Natalie a special toy. This is the exact same bath toy that Nathan picked out for Natalie's angel. Natalie loved it so much and didn't want to give it up, but she did and now has one of her very own!



Natalie got Puffs in her stocking. This was her initial reaction...it hasn't improved much since!
