What a WONDERFUL Christmas!



Christmas was absolutely perfect! Alyse loved her new jammies (pictured here with all the other "girls" styling our new jams). It was wonderful being with family and enjoying each other's company. However I must say my favorite memory was Christmas morning when Aly went down stairs to see what Santa had brought! She was so excited to see her stroller, baby, big ball, puppy, and pink chair! It was the perfect "ooh" face that I had hoped for and she was all smiles as she pushed her stroller around the basement! It is so incredible the way a child can immediately bring back all of the magic and wonder of Christmas that I experienced when I was young. I held onto every moment trying to capture it into my memory knowing that this was our last Christmas with just Aly. Next year will be double the fun and excitement with another little one to share in the joy and if Mike and Lacie get to work who knows . . . triple the fun? I am still praying for more cousins for my kids . . . we'll see. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

How cute is that picture of you four? I miss seeing everyone over Christmas. One of these days we'll all make it to one reunion/christmas party. I hope all is well!
