I can’t believe that it is almsot Christmas! It will be my baby’s first Christmas. This year my Christmas gift is my baby boy, God couldn’t have given me anything more dear or special to me. Daniel is 7 months old, and is growing fast. His favorite thing to do right now is to shake his toys up and down, it is so cute. He is rolling over more, and is on the verge of sitting up. This holiday season has been really enojoyable to me. We took Daniel to visit his cousin Olivia in Nashville for his first out-of-town trip, and we also saw Harvey and Aunt Lynda. We took him to the Opryland Hotel, and dressed him in his santa suit and strolled him around, it was so cute. Thanksgiving was fun, we went to my mom’s on Thursday, and then to Matt’s mom’s on Sunday. Daniel even got to see his first snow on December 5th. I made him a snowman, and a snowball. The first time I made the snowman, I was putting the hat on it, and its head fell off of the porch and smashed into a million pieces. So, I had to make it another head. When we took Daniel out to see it, he ripped its head completley off! I am so glad that it snowed just a little for Daniel’s first holiday season! I am pretty happy that I have got a good portion of our Christmas shopping done. It is nice to have that out of the way! Most of all, this season I am thankful for Jesus’s birth, and for the chance to teach my son about him.
I will be missing my family this Christmas! Kim, Michael, Richie, and Pupper, will not be here this Christmas. It will be my first Christmas without my sister. I have gotten used to not having my brother for Christmas, but it will take some time getting used to not having Kim here. Maybe, we can go visit them in California next year some time. I can’t wait for Daniel and Olivia to have a Christmas together, it should be really fun! I am also glad I will get to be present for Olivia’s birthday. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!
