Merry Christmas!

Being Christmas morning, I had to wake Hayli up to see what Santa brought for her. I was so excited to see her reaction. Hayli's favorite part? This year, Hayli LOVED to rip the wrapped presents open. The presents didn't even have to be for her. She really enjoyed the occasion this year. Next year, Hayli will have to share this experience with her baby sister.

Merry Christmas

This year pretty much went the way normal Christmases go for the family. I was the first one up - too early for most family members! I did, however, have to restrain myself a little bit. I waited for our angel Hayli to wake up before running downstairs with her. Good thing too, because she was a bit overwhelmed. I guess that is understandable. As most years are concerned, we went a bit overboard with the presents. (Note to self - next year fewer presents.) It was strange thinking this time last year Hayli was in my belly growing, and I was so ready for her to come out! Only to find out that I really wasn't fully prepared for motherhood. Like Hayli, I am learning as I go.
