The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

She just couldn't contain herself before Christmas!

The days leading up to Christmas....she loved the bows on the gifts!

Adisyn loved the lights and the shiny ornaments

Christmas was even better than imagined! Adisyn loved opening her gifts, although she was very dainty when she did so. Surprisingly, she enjoyed looking at each and every toy that she got! I thought she would like the ripping open of the gifts more, but she just took in the whole thing! She was so tired, but with all the excitement she didn't want to stop. Then, when it was time for her afternoon nap, she slept over 2 hours!

Adisyn's 1st Christmas

On Christmas morning, we all got up about 7:30am or so. After a quick breakfast Adisyn opened her gifts from us and my parents. Then, Adisyn went upstairs to wake up Grandma and Grandpa so she could open their gifts. She sat on Grandpa's lap the whole time and looked at each present one by one. After a late lunch for Christmas dinner where we had ham, turkey, corn salad, mashed potatoes, potato salad, and macaroni and cheese, all homemade! Her aunt Sue, uncle Wayne and cousin Sarah came by afterwards.Adisyn really liked playing with Sarah and walked a lot for her. For dessert, we had a some homemade raspberry cupcakes, that Mark and I made to celebrate Adisyn's birthday with the family. Adisyn loved the cupcakes with the home make raspberry icing!

Adisyn loved walking to Sarah

For Christmas Adisyn got some girly building blocks and a Disney Princess Castle from us. I am amazed how Adisyn stands to play with the castle and gently puts the princesses inside. She really likes it! She is standing up a lot more to play, especially when she plays with things like her castle. At times, she's even walking to her toys instead of crawling! She got two baby dolls (from MiMi and Grandma and Grandpa) and she loves them both. She loves to cuddle up to them and hold them.

We had a wonderful Christmas as a family and we couldn't have asked for a better time. It was so exciting to see Adisyn experience everything for the first time! We feel so blessed to call her our little girl!
