Hannah's First Christmas

Since I am a little behind in writing about Christmas, this post will be dedicated to more pictures/captions and little notes.

Overall, Hannah had a wonderful Christmas.  We certainly enjoyed our first family Christmas together with her.  She was enthralled with seeing the fireplace lit up more than any gift, noisy wrapping paper, or singing toy.  We could have put her in front of that fire all day and she would have been happy.

  The hunt for our Christmas tree.....

We went early in December so we could have enough time to enjoy the tree being up.  It was a rather warm, snowy day, perfect to get our tree.  Of course Hannah snoozed the whole time, but it was fun carrying her around to find the right one.  Both John and I can't wait until next year when she will (hopefully) be awake and walking around the tree farm with us.    
Looks like we found a winner!

Decorating our Christmas tree was so much fun!  Hannah sat and watched us fussing over where the ornaments should go.  She enjoyed seeing the lights sparkle on the tree and happily layed next to us in her boppy smiling away!  
SNOW baby!

reading Twas the Night Before Christmas
loved the book! 




In John's family, they always read the Night Before Christmas on Christmas Eve, and John really wanted to make that a new tradition of our own.  Hannah loves being read to and really enjoyed the pictures in this book.  Hopefully this will be something she comes to enjoy every year.
so excited!
