Lillie's First Christmas

 

Christmas is always special around the Harmon House-it's both our favorite holiday, but this year was extra special since it was Lillie's first.

 

Both our families were so great by coming to our house this year so that we didn't have to get Lillie out.  It was so nice to have the house filled with family for 4 days! 

 

We spent Christmas Eve with the Harmons and it was one of the best Christmases that I've spent with them.

 

 

 

Lillie got a lot of nice presents! 

 

 

 

 

She even helped her daddy open them ;)

 

 

Christmas morning, we woke up to gifts from Santa!

 

 

Lillie got a glow worm and stackable rings.

 

 

She found this cute little Christmas mouse, books, and headbands in her stocking too!

 

Her daddy gave her a special present just from him-The Velveteen Rabbit. 
We also had a special book made for her for her first Christmas.  It is personalized just for Lillie!



And my little bird loved the bird blanket I made her!



Christmas night, my family came up for the Smith Christmas.



Even Ma Ma was able to come up and have Christmas with us, just like every year.  It was nice to get this 4 generations picture with my mama's mama.  Now I just need to get one with Me Me, my daddy's mama.  Maybe I can come up with something really cool and crafty to put in Lillie's room with these generation pictures!
 

Lillie's Aunts: Aunt Bill, Auntie Em, and Aunt Casie

Since Lillie has been born, I haven't seen my family much since we are all so scattered around Texas.  So it was nice to have all my sisters over and Lillie enjoyed spending time with all her Aunts!



After our Mexican supper (it's tradition to cook Mexican food for Christmas in the Smith house.  We have tacos, my daddy gets the best tamales, and I make my delicious chicken enchiladas.), it was time to open presents!  Lillie got more nice things to decorate her room with, to read and to wear!



Big Papa bought her s special gift that he picked out all himself.



And Aunt Casie made her this cute pearl bracelet!



Oh yeah!  And I forgot to tell you that we had another white Christmas this year! 



I thought I'd never see another one in my lifetime, but it was extra special since it fell on Lillie's first!  I hope she gets another one so she can experience and remember Christmas snow!
 
We hope all of you had and equally special and happy Christmas!  We wish you all a happy new year with as much love, happiness and blessings than ever!
