Happiness and Cheer

Christmas time is here... and this one is baby's first! There is only one of those in a lifetime, you know... so, of course, we took lots of pictures!

Calista is fascinated with the Swedish chimes. Every time she hears them, she turns to look at them and tries to reach for them.

 The sound can even make her stop crying when she's being fussy, which is definitely a Christmas bonus!



Christmas morning...

Still sleeping, because she doesn't know what excitement awaits her!


There were plenty of presents to open.

Calista, with a little help, got pretty good at opening them.

I'm not going to detail all that was received, but here are a couple of items:

From Grandma May, we got this stylish carrier. Calista seems to like it, yes?

From her cousin Lily, Calista got MegaBloks, and she loves them!

 See?

 Okay, maybe I love them. But I'm sure she will someday, too!

All in all, with the travel, the cousins, the presents, and the fun, it was a good first Christmas for The Wee One. 

A belated Merry Christmas, everyone!
