Baby's First Christmas!

LED Head-Flashlight thing from the Baby, He he!

Well, this was our first Christmas as soon-to-be parents and it was very exciting! I loved giving Chris a present from the Baby and I loved involving the Baby in everything we did. I can't wait until next year when he or she will be 6 months old and enjoying all the Christmas lights and activities with us! My sister will also hopefully be able to come visit, then everything will be perfect :) I'm grateful to have my parents here this weekend, I love them very much! This has by far been the best Christmas ever since Chris proposed to me (well, we celebrated Christmas on the 26th that year LoL). I always try to explain to people how it doesn't matter how many gifts you get or how much money you spend. All that matters is that you are around the people you love (even though some were far away, you were still with us in spirit)(* Always remember that). We are so very grateful to have such a loving and supportive family, but most of all, grateful for all the little (and big LoL) surprises in life.

Merry Christmas!!!!

* Well Baby, you had you first Christmas yesterday and guess what! You got all the Christmas presents!  LOL Everyone is so excited  that you are coming that no one could wait until next year. See? Everyone loves you so much already!

First of all, Mommy got you your first stuffed animal a month or so back. A little monkey and a little bear:

Your Nina Jessy gave you a little giraffe to match the monkey I got for you:

Tu Abuelita gave you a nice, super soft blanket! You will love it! And this little card with a grandma and grandchildren:

Your Nina Erika and Tio Eddy gave you a cute little monkey from Build-a-Bear that has a beating heart and plays a lullaby. You wiggle around when I put his hand on my belly and play it for you.

Your Tio Jorge and Tia Sherri gave Mommy a carrier so she can carry you close to her heart when you are born and when we go to SeaWorld, you're going to love it there! Georgie, Jasmine, and Kaland gave you a frog puppet that ribbits:

But that doesn't mean you should expect tons of presents every year, remember that it's all about spending time with loved ones. Also, be grateful for everything that you are given; remember that not everyone gets to have a Christmas. ¡I love you Baby, te quiero mucho, mucho! Y todos los demas tambien. Sigue creciendo y no salgas hasta que estes listo. ¡Todos te vamos a estar esperando! ¡Te quiero mucho Nene!

Con mucho amor y cariño,
