It is pretty special

last year i got Amy an ornament for Christmas. it read "i will hold you in my heart until i can hold you in my arms." we certainly had hope, but didn't really think it was possible that the next Christmas would be so much more special. we can hold her in our arms now and we couldn't be happier.

Natalie going to town on her first ever gift wrapped Christmas present.

i hope you can figure out who put this outfit together. those would be her pajamas, her tutu (a gift from her great aunt), and cat hat. she is also holding a gift bag that she likes to pretend is a shopping bag. if we are missing items around the house, it is a good idea to check there.

i promise to put up some Christmas pics very soon after the festivities. we have about 4 Christmases and they should all be very fun and a new adventure. Merry Christmas everyone. Have a safe and very happy holiday!
