The Loddes: Christmas recap!

Perry had a wonderful first Christmas! The holiday season is even more magical as a parent!
Christmas Eve was spent at my parents' house playing, going to church, decorating cookies, and eating yummy food and treats. We opened gifts that evening, and Perry was spoiled with so many fun new things!

Sweet cousins with matching Christmas jammies! Thank you, Auntie B!

Perry loved opening her gifts, and she especially loved the tissue paper. Hah!

This was my baby doll when I was a little girl. Mumsie took her to the baby doll hospital to get all fixed up. Such a special gift!

John was Santa's elf that evening, building a toy for little Perry.

On Christmas Day, we enjoyed a quiet morning at home and went to Guinny's house in the afternoon. I didn't get many pictures that day. :(

We could not find Perry's red bow anywhere, which is a tragedy when you are about to leave on a trip around Christmastime when all of the outfits are red. My dad dug through trash, found Perry's bow, and delivered it on Christmas evening. Best Popsie in town!

We left the next morning to spend a week with John's family for Christmas Round 2! Perry was amazing on the airplane, despite all of my anxiety leading up to it. We spent the week playing with the Lodde boys' "vintage" toys, visiting with family and friends, and being spoiled by John's parents. Perry even got to see snow for the first time! We had such a wonderful visit and look forward to many more memories in Milwaukee.
