Christmas was very special this year. Alaina was able to take part in several old Christmas traditions as well as some new ones. Claire made peanut butter cookies with Alaina using her grandma’s (Nannie) recipe. Claire and her grandma would make them together when she would spend the night. Alaina’s favorite part this year was the final result…eating.

Christmas morning was fun too. However, we’ve been telling Alaina all month not to touch the presents. So when it finally came time to tear them open, she was a little confused…as if we were testing her obedience. Her favorite two gifts this year so far have been her Minnie Mouse doll (to go with her favorite cartoon Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) and her doll baby.

We hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas and wish you a safe and Happy New Year!
