First Christmas Present
Thanks Uncle Daniel and Aunt Amy for some great presents!!
Baby, It's Cold Outside
Here she is in her pretty white bunting, which we didn't think we'd have a chance to use.
We were really blessed that my brother Daniel and his wife, Amy, could make the trek from Charlotte, so we met them at my parents' house. Considering that they're both engineers, a construction project soon developed in the wonderfully packable snowfall.
Here's dad, Daniel, Amy and Tim inside the boat, fort, thing... Talks are resuming about possibly making it a full-fledged igloo soon.
And here's our home fully decked out for a White Christmas.
Christmas Fluff
Now, without further adieu, her highness:
Miss Laurel and the Christmas Tree
The house is now fully decorated for Christmas, including a completely kid-friendly tree (at least we hope!) Laurel loves the lights and the ornaments. I probably tell Tim at least ten times a day how much I love our house at Christmas. And it's true. The soft glow of the Christmas tree, the sparkle from the the ornaments and the stockings on the fireplace put me in the Christmas spirit. (And that's our cat Shelby watching from the back.)
The Sweetest Word
And finally last night she walked up to the couch I was sitting on, looked up at me, and very clearly said, "Mom."
It was worth the wait.
