This is the most special Christmas for our family, with the birth of
our daughter on December 21st. We came home from the hospital on the
23rd and had already wrapped the gifts. On Christmas Eve, Carter opened
one gift and we read the story of Jesus' birth (pinned Carter down,
while he attempted to rip pages from the book). That night, Macy was
having her own celebration and kept us up most of the night. Right on
cue, Carter was up at 6:30 am; we summoned all our energy to give him
the Christmas he deserves. Now that he is 21 months old, he had a lot
more fun opening gifts. He would carefully tear 1 inch squares off at a
time, not knowing how to shred into the gift with lightning speed. His
grandparents made the day by sending so many gifts for him and Macy.
That was sooo sweet, guys! He got DVDS, a stuffed Elmo, a Leap Frog story
pad, books, toy cars and trucks, a playhouse, and a remote control floating
fish. Carter loved everything and had such priceless reactions. Macy
slept and slept, but she got some really cute clothes. Later we ate,
took photos, and went out on our first walk with Macy in the stroller.
She showed her excitement by sleeping the whole time. Next year, we
look forward to having an awake little girl to share in our traditions.
