Madi's First Christmas



























Madison enjoyed the most marvelous, magical day of her witto existence this December 25, 2011. She laughed, squealed, shrieked, giggled and took in EVERYTHING with her big, blue eyes. She was thoroughly captivated with each new toy and took the time to figure it out before moving on to the next one. We didn't think she'd be so involved and engaged in the whole unwrapping process, but she loved every second of it! She'd soften the wrap with her soggy drool and then tear it to shreds. She was so aware and thrilled with the entire occasion. She's always been a very keen barometer for any emotions Mommy and Daddy are feeling, so she perfectly mimicked our joy and excitement. Church was early and combined with two other wards. Madi was completely off schedule and out of whack so she gave us heck, Texas Tornado style, until we were back home, snug and happy. Matt made the BEST breakfast burritos ever for a late Christmas breakfast and the day was filled with naps, food, and lots of love. (and isn't that just the recipe for complete and total bliss?!?) Truly our bestest Christmas ever...one we will cherish forever and ever!

What a fun Christmas! I love the picture of the "softening" of the wrapping paper.
