Emma's First Christmas

We had so much fun with Emma on her first Christmas. We continued many traditions that we had blended from each of our families.

• Kicked off the holiday with Christmas Eve service
• Had a big Christmas Eve dinner
• We changed into our Christmas pajamas
• We set out cookies and milk for Santa
• We set out a carrot and water for the reindeer
• We read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas
• We woke up to check the cookies, carrots and presents under the tree and stockings
• We stayed in our pajamas Christmas morning
• Rett smoked a turkey for Christmas dinner

Emma enjoyed the tissue paper and bows the most. Next year she will have a better understanding of what is actually happening and probably tear into the wrapping paper more.

one lucky girl!
