Luke 2:9-12 (NLT)
Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord's glory surrounded them. They were terrified, [10] but the angel reassured them. "Don't be afraid!" he said. "I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. [11] The Savior-yes, the Messiah, the Lord-has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! [12] And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger."
So your first Christmas came and went and it was delightful experiencing Christmas with the best  Christmas gift dada and I could ask for. You got to catch up with your aunt Lizzie and uncle Rich, aunt Paula, aunt Kaneeka and cousin Kelis, and your grandparents. Christmas eve wore you out with all the driving, receiving your gifts and socializing. I think you only got 3 hours of sleep during the day and basically plonked out while I held you at 10pm that night.
On Christmas day after your morning nap aunt Chenai and I left you with dada watching basketball to watch the movie Sherlock Holmes. You were supposed to fall back asleep soon enough. Supposed to!! We had a delightful time watching an awesome movie but poor dada. Apparently you cried 75% of the time we were gone, dada looked like a train had hit him:(. After a couple of minutes of mama and feed time you were back to normal, and aunt Chenai started on making a yummy dinner of Mac and cheese( with turkey bacon bits and artichoke) and a creamy chicken pot pie. Finished off with cinnamon rolls I made and an assortment of lemon, strawberry and red velvet cupcakes aunt Chenai baked.. Yes we had a glorious time. With all the excitement during the  last couple of days you were out by 6:30pm.

I made sure to not over plan or set any expectations for your first Christmas and just enjoy Jesus' birthday with our little family and aunt Chenai- and it turned out quite lovely. Just another opportunity to be thankful for the people God has put in our and now your life.

Merry Christmas baby girl
