This was Isabella’s first Christmas, she was only 3 months but it was still very special. Some people say “oh don’t buy her anything, she is too young she won’t remember” and to this, I say “Hogwash!” It’s her first Christmas, its special and she will be getting gifts and let me tell you, even though she won’t remember this she still had a great time. She opened presents the best she could, she loved the wrapping paper and the sound it makes, she loved the lights and all the guests and attention she got. She had a great time and we had a great time watching her have a great time.

We also took her to the enchanted village which my mom has been taking us to since we were kids, its a tradition that I was very happy to share with her and again, she may not remember her first time going to the Enchanted Village but she has a great time looking at all the lights and animatronics. It’s always a long day with a newborn and making bottles and changing them all while out in public and it can be tough but I love taking her to do these special things. Its only Christmas once a year and she is only any age once, so live it up I say. Spoil her! I almost forgot we also took her to Edaville Railroad on the coldest day of the year, again i beleive she had a good time and we had her all snuggles up in the baby carrier getting all our body heat but if i could do it again, id go on a warmer day.

Taking pictures and making memories we can share with her when she gets older is what it’s all about.
