Maddie's Second Christmas

This year we celebrated a wonderful Christmas. It was Madeleine's second Christmas. Last year, however, she was only 2 weeks old and didn't do a whole lot but sleep and lay in her swing. So this year in a way was her first Christmas.

My cousin Brittny and her husband Brian came from Akron, CO with their 8 month old daughter Lexi as well as my Aunt Jan. We got to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with them. It was really fun having two babies around at Christmas.



Maddie loved opening presents. I have to say that her favorite gift was the Fisher Price Grand Piano that Mommy and Daddy got her. I couldn't resist and had to have her open it up on Christmas Eve. She loved to play it with her Uncle Jared. In fact, she loved doing everything with her Uncle Jared. The two of them were quite a pair.

Santa Claus definitely came down our chimney of our new house this year. Madeleine must have been a very good girl. She got lots of new toys, "toddler toys". She sure is growing up so fast.
She also got a Radio Flyer red wagon from Grandma and Grandpa Pfeifer, lots of cute clothes from Uncle Jared, a rocking horse from Auntie Sarah, toys and books from Granny Michelle and Auntie Katharina, and puzzles and books from Mommy and Daddy.





Jason and I were very blessed this year as well. Yes, we did get some nice gifts, but we feel blessed that we have a happy marriage, a beautiful, healthy daughter, a new house, Jason's good job, our family near to us, and all of our many friends. Life is good. Merry Christmas.
