(We’ve been relaxing and enjoying the holidays, hence the blog slacking. I promise I’ll go back to my regular Thursday morning posting schedule next week. Until then, pass the chocolate Santas!)
Dear Makenzie,
Christmas has come and gone in the blink of an eye. It’s almost impossible to believe that we just celebrated our second Christmas with you… wasn’t it just a few weeks ago that we put you in your teeny tiny 1st Christmas outfit to meet Santa?
December 2012 – Our little Christmas baby meeting Santa for the first time
Christmas 2013 has been a wonderful! Your dad and I are still on vacation, and all this extra time with you has been awesome – lots of sleeping in (if you count 7:30 as sleeping in), playing, reading and giggling . You make life so much fun!
In case you don’t remember this Christmas I figured I’d write this post for you with some of the best parts of the holiday season.
:: Decorating ::
You were really helpful this year in Decking the Halls! Thanks Kenz! (Right after you helped hang these ornaments, you took most of them down and piled them in your wagon, but either way it was very cute.)
:: Meeting Santa! ::
This December marked your second visit to Santa! You did great and you even waved to your Daddy and me as you told Santa what you wanted. You definitely made the Nice list. Way to go baby girl!
:: Enjoying the lights ::
Here you are at the door checking out the neighborhood Christmas lights! I’m shocked by how grown up you have become.
Then our family holiday fun began on Christmas Eve with a drive to Ohio. I’ll let the pictures tell the rest…
You were snug as a bug as we cruised along route 90 to Ohio.
You tolerated a few pictures as we dressed you up as Kenzie Claus. Daddy sure loves you!
Here you are getting ready for a Christmas Eve sleep as Nana reads you and Ryan a bedtime story.
Visions of sugarplums dancing in your head…
And finally, it was Christmas morning!!!
Ryan found the first gift of the year, his new train! All Aboard!
The morning was a blur of wrapping paper. You, and your cousins Ryan and Jack must have been good this year. Santa brought you lots of cool toys.
Jack Jack enjoyed his 1st Christmas along with Auntie Melissa!
Your new trike and matching helmet (in your reindeer-footie jammies). You melt our hearts. 🙂
After a few days we headed to Pittsburgh for a very McGee Christmas!
Cousin Connor was excited to see you!
Auntie Meg checked out the 2014 calendar with you.
Your Mamaw and Pappap bought you your very FIRST car this Christmas! It’s a super cute VW Beetle. We can’t wait to see you cruise down the street in it!
Your friend Charlotte loved your car too!
And there was more bedtime story fun waiting for you!
And it wouldn’t be a Christmas without the official cousin shot. It turned out very cute this year!
Another great Christmas in the books!
Makenzie, you make the holidays SO much fun. Your Dad and I count our lucky stars every day for healthy, happy you!! Merry Christmas Baby, you’re the best gift ever. We can’t wait to see what 2014 brings!
Love you to the moon and back,
Mom
xoxo
