This Christmas was different from any other...this was the first Christmas we didn't spend with family...and I sure hope this is the last time that happens!
With Tessa arriving so soon after the holidays it just didn't make sense for everyone to travel so we had Christmas together as our little family.
Jason had to work most of the day and that was weird too...it just didn't feel quite like Christmas.
Riley and I had fun finishing up cookies and spending the day together!
Here's Miss Riley in her Christmas outfit!
We went to church that evening and packed up everything we might need for the hospital because I just wasn't feeling good. I had contractions all through Christmas Eve service and was seriously thinking this was it but they went away once I started moving around so we kept our plans to spend Christmas Eve with some friends from Jason's work.
We had a great dinner and Riley had some fun friends to play with.
We did a white elephant gift exchange and that was a lot of fun! Jason ended up with a zebra print towel wrap and had no clue what it was so that provided entertainment for all! I convinced him to keep it because it came with lots of great Bath and Body Works stuff for me.
The kids had fun playing with the towel wrap!
When we got home it was time to leave a note for Santa!
Riley wanted to cut out a heart all by herself!
I wrote the note but transcribed it word for word as she told me what she wanted it to say and then she signed her name!
The final product!
We put out cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for the reindeer!
She went to bed with much anticipation for what was going to be delivered to our house overnight!
It's so fun to see things through your kids eyes and Christmas is one of the best!
