Lexie's first Christmas

I simply do not have the words to describe the joy of watching Lexie experience her first Christmas. Watching our little girl enjoy the birthday of God's Little Boy was beautiful. We took almost 200 pictures. Here are a few.


She enjoyed her first trip to the Waffle House (a Christmas Eve tradition for us).



We found her standing in her crib Christmas morning. This was a first. I guess she thought Christmas morning was a good time to start this.


"This Santa-guy was worth the wait."



"I can't get in this present, so I'll just get on it."

"Hey, look there's more stuff over there."

"Have these always been here?"

"If I had known there was stuff in this stocking, I would have tried to pull it off the mantle weeks ago."

Forget the presents, go for the paper and box.




"I'm pretty tired, but people just keeping giving me presents."


"I'm starting to get the hang of this unwrapping thing,

"and it's worth the effort."

"I've looked everywhere, but can't find any more presents."


That's ok because she's the best present there is.

Hurry Christmas, hurry fast

We are so looking forward to celebrating Christmas with Lexie. She may not know exactly what's going on, but she seems to be anticipating her first Christmas almost as much as we are.


"All I want for Christmas is all of my teeth."



Lexie seems to be getting tired of waiting.



Fortunately, she got a little early practice at unwrapping presents.


"Is this Santa guy coming soon or what?"
