A Blessed Christmas!

This was Charlotte's first Christmas. It was such a wonderful day. My parents came down and stayed with us. This is a first as well. We normally go to the bay area to visit for Christmas. We decided to change things up! It was a great day because we stayed in our pajamas all day..another first! We are so very blessed with the wonderful family that we have. My parents are so amazing. Words can't descirbe how lucky I am. Charlotte enjoyed the gifts that she recieved. She seemed to like the wrapping paper and bows more then she liked the toys! :) Her new favorite thing is sitting on shoulders. I have never heard her laugh so much. Her laugh is contagious!
We cooked an amazing meal but most of all we were surrounded by amazing family. My mom is such an inspiration. She raised my sister and I so well. I want to raise Charlotte that same way! My dad makes my heart melt, I love him to pieces. My sister is my best friend, I could not ask for any better. Spending the whole day with her was a gift in itself! My husband is my best friend and I love him for all that he is. He puts a smile on my face everyday, he continues to give me butterflies after 10years!
This Christmas was so precious that I don't ever want to take that moment away. I cherish all of these moments and never take them for granted. The family that I have is my life. I would not be the person, sister, daughter, wife, and mother I am today because of them! :)
