The Most Wonderful Time of the Year { Christmas 2012 }

Our first Christmas as a family of three was magnificent!  We enjoyed every second of Christmas music, , holiday parties, and reindeer pajamas.  This was our first year to go to the Charles Dicken's Festival in downtown Franklin, so we dressed Abigail up in her pretty Christmas dress and strolled down Maine Street soaking in the Christmas season! 

Mike and I wanted to get Abigail a few special gifts for her first Christmas and since I am super sentimental, I thought it would be fun to write her a little note and tuck it away in an ornament that she can always keep.  I have to admit that signing her note as mom brought tears to my eyes.  It was such a surreal moment for me.  

We also picked out 2 of our favorite books for Abigail and wrote her a sweet note inside those as well! 

And then there were grandparents...and a whole lot of toys!  Here are a few of her favorites. 

This Christmas was also very special because Mike's family came to stay with us for the holiday! We enjoyed having our house full of family and we will always cherish the memories we made this year! 

A big thank you to Abigail's Grammy for picking out the sweetest dress for her Christmas picture!

Christmas 2012!
