So we made it through Julianna's first Christmas... and what a fabulous Christmas it was! Julianna had the best time ripping open her gifts & playing with the tissue paper even though she had no idea why we were doing it! Grandma & Grandpa came to visit from upstate NY bearing many gifts... and Nana came from her house with plenty for Julianna as well. So between all of theirs, combined with the gifts from us (Santa) and other friends & family - we could barely walk into our living room! We had fun listening to Christmas carols and opening gifts on Christmas morning. Santa got me so many wonderful gifts (OK yes, I know Christmas is not about material things- but hey, a girl can be giddy about her new Coach, Nikon 14 MP point & shoot camera and other fabulous items, right?! Santa is the best!) What a fun day we had! Julianna got to play with most of her new toys and loved them all. I hope everyone else's Christmas was just as wonderful as ours was.
Here is Julianna opening her gifts that Santa got her.
Note the wall of presents behind her.
Mommy & Daddy with Julianna
Julianna playing with some of her toys. She loved these 2 stuffed animals the best -
they make her squeal with delight - sooo funny!
Julianna likes to stand up - about 10 seconds at a time now!
We are making progress! See the cute tu-tu leggings my aunt got her...
Gotta love the gift of wine...
And what girl doesn't like this gift??
Lovely, LOVELY pictures! I love that you did the 'mosaic' thingy. I'm going to have to learn to do that, for sure! I posted a pix of Julianna and her mommy over at my blog and sent people over to your's to see more. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Christmas this was!!
The best ever! (Gee, I wonder why?)
Could it be that a little princess had something to do with it?
Maybe.

Kitten - She was soo exhausted she basically passed out sitting up in daddy's lap while opening presents - it was so funny! She took a nice mid-morning nap after that! ANd yes... the tu-tu ... I can't wait to put it on her and take pictures- it is so adorable even if she doesn't crawl yet! :)
