Emersyn's 1st Christmas 2008

Christmas was so WONDERFUL this year! Christmas, for the past two years, has been a holiday that we wished wouldn't come. It was such a hard time for us. We are so thankful that Emersyn's presence can make the holiday a happy time again! She got a wagon from Santa. She was more interested in looking at the pretty presents with their bows and ribbons under the tree. My parents came to Topeka to celebrate it with us. Jason had to work the night shift on Christmas and we missed him dearly! I went to bed that night feeling so complete and thanking God for the greatest gift in the world. We are so thankful for this breathe of new life.

She decides from now and then that she wants to feed herself. She will take the spoon and attempt to give herself the cereal.

Why do mom's love their children in hats? Because it's so darn cute!

Can you find the baby?

I attempted to take a picture of everything she got for her 1st Christmas. I was on a step ladder in the corner of her room, and you STILL can't see everything! She is blessed!

I got the first cabbage patch dolls when they came out for Christmas when I was 1. Emersyn got a special 25th anniversary doll. My parents had one specially made that looked like my first doll. They even had the company give the doll a birth certificate name with Emersyn Reagan on it and the doll's birthday is August 7 just like Emersyn's.

My dad focusing on our new TV they gave us. It is Emerson brand...HA HA.

Say Cheese!

Family picture. Jason laughed that Emersyn & I had matching robes. No I will NOT be one of those mom's that wears matching clothes with my daughter.

Yes that is Oliver on the kitchen chair next to Emersyn's face.

Emersyn and my parent's dog Willie.

Daddy & Me.

Christmas breakfast...Similac.

Emersyn in her wagon...she's not impressed.

Staring at the presents rather than the wagon.

"Look Santa Came!" Can you find Oliver?

Waking up out of her room to see what Santa brought.

"I got SOCKS for Christmas...really?"

"Who's there?"

Baby's first Christmas ornament.

Checking out what's in the stocking.

Here is what Santa brought in her stocking. I couldn't find a stocking that I liked for her. So I drew this reindeer on felt and cut out all of the pieces. I sewed it on this stocking. I'm going to get her name embroidered on it to finish it off.
