Merry Christmas!

Today is Christmas, 2009...Bella's first. Christmas Eve began with a 2 1/2 hour car ride upstate, to Jeff's family. I was so nervous that Bella would cry most of the way, but she did great and slept most of the way. The family was so generous with gifts for Bella. She got so many cute outfits, a big bird she loves already, and her first pair of earrings from Pop. We all had a great time visiting with everyone, but the day goes so fast. Right now, we are watching the Disney parade and it is just making me excited about bringing her to the parks one day. Before I was a mom, I never really understood what people meant by "you really get enjoyment out of seeing your children happy," I now get it.
