Christmas Dinner

Playing with my cousin's toys is so much fun...

Christmas Morning!

We had such a wonderful Christmas this year-so so fun! 

Starting new memories, sharing old traditions and simply enjoying the love and joy of this magical season!

First glance at some of the gifts Santa brought.

Looking at a few gifts before heading to Nonni and Papa's house.

 

Kate's favorite gift....BINKIES!!!!

Christmas Eve

Waiting patiently with Daddy for Mass to start-we didn't make it the entire time!

Big hugs to everyone.

Bow change.

Admiring Nonni's tree.

"Santa"- don't touch.

Christmas Eve Morning Fun!

Our morning started off with a yummy breakfast - first time ever Kate made it through a meal in her high chair the entire time-way to go kiddo, you knew Santa was watching!

So so happy all morning.

Look at that face...

Finding unwrapped presents-you must be my child!

Baking cookies for Santa

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

Hands down, absolutely my favorite time of year! 
How could it not be with such an amazing husband and precious baby girl- so BLESSED.
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!

One Beautiful Year...

Happy Birthday Princess!!!

The 1st birthday came and went...

So much planning, so many smiles, so much fun-not just your birthday, but the past year baby girl.  It seemed like yesterday your daddy placed you in my arms and here you are 1 year old.  It's been the very best year of my life.  You make me smile, you make my heart melt!  Oh baby girl how I long to see what your future holds.  You are the very best thing that has ever happened to me (us!)

Wishing you the most beautiful birthday ever!

Most Thankful for.....
