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.

SNOW!!!!  Look how precious my little snow bunny is!

It was a JOYFUL first Christmas as a family of three!

All the Christmassy things...

Merry Christmas!!!

Well, December has come and gone, and I have yet to post.  Here is a little bit of what we were up to in December (recap of Christmas coming in a different post)!

We went to Santa's Wonderland with my family, and it was a BLAST!  We went on a Sunday night when it was supposed to rain really hard, but we got lucky with perfect weather and no crowds!! 

Perry and I went to see the Christmas train display at Second Baptist with my sister and her kids!

Perry met Santa Claus!

John and I had a couple of Christmas parties and enjoyed time with friends!

 

We had our annual Christmas lunch at Brookwood with the Myers girls!

We drank hot cocoa and watched Christmas movies! 

Perry wore cute Christmas outfits!  The second and third pictures are Perry with her sweet teachers, Miss KeKe and Miss Angela.  Perry's last day with them was December 21st.  We are so grateful for these sweet ladies and how they loved on our Perry when we couldn't be there.  We loved them!

It was a wonderful December filled with memories that will last a lifetime!
