Well we took her to see Santa, got through the photo with no crying, did a little shopping and finally the day came. December 25th, Christmas day but not just another Christmas, this was Madeleine’s FIRST Christmas. We started and Poppy and Nonnie’s for gifts; a nice princess chair, a talking purse (very cute) and some other fun…then back to the living room to play with the new toy lawn mower and other stuff from Santa and friends. A little later we through on Maddie’s Christmas dress and it was off to Grammy and Gramp’s for even more loot. A nice wooden rocking chair and teddy bear and some other fun toys. She had as much fun crawling around collecting the bows on presents as she did tearing the paper. Though I’m sure she really didn’t know exactly what was going on I know she had fun and that’s what is important. Next year will be an entirely different experience I feel…can’t wait !!!
