maddie's first christmas was so lovely! she's such a delight and we had a great time. doug and i finished putting all presents under the tree in the early hours of the morning - and then took pictures (to add to the millions of others we have to torture her with one day...) but it looked so pretty!!
of course we remember the real reason that we celebrate christmas - the birth of jesus christ - i saw someone i know on facebook this week had said on her status that she didn't understand why people would claim to be atheists and then celebrate christmas... it's like saying to someone, i don't believe you're real, and i don't like you, but i'll come to your birthday party!! i though she had made a very good point. well - i believe in jesus christ and yesterday i celebrated his birth with my family. i know he is real!
after we got home from church i insisted on posing for photos before we got changed, a fair call i thought... i mean, c'mon - we looked gorgeous!!!
smoochies for our bebeh!!
maddie loved the tree - all the lights and glitter... (me too!! - i would leave it up all year if i could)
and had a great time ripping the paper of her gifts, once we put it in her hands so she could help :)
here she is gnawing away on the paper of her first gift before we helped her open it - mum made the stocking for her a few months ago - i love it!!
the\y don't call it the silly season for no reason... doug and i had a great time taking funny photos with miss maddie - she has the funniest facial expressions
i am so sad it's all over for another year, i love the feeling of christmas in the air and the excitement, the peace and the kindness that people show to each other. i only wish people could be like that all year around x
