Bella's First Christmas

Bella's First Christmas was a busy onestarting with brunch at our house on Christmas eve and ending with dinner at the McWhorter's on Christmas Day. Here are a few highlights from the festivities.

What a special moment it was to snap this picture of the women in our family at our
Christmas Eve Brunch


Our little girl is getting so big. She was showing off for the McWhorter family, as she propped up on her daddy in her favorite position.

Our favorite gift is the one in the pink and red wrapping. Thank you God!

Drew and I know that Bella has lots of BIG Christmases to come, so this year we each bought her one gift. His was a surprise to me as well, and what a great job he did.

This hnadmade cashmere blanket was made especially for Bella, and is mongrammed with her name, birthdate, weight and length. What a special gift this is, one she will have for a long time.

I just love this pic of Bella with her daddy. Can't you just see the adoration as she stares up at him? She is smitten!

My gift to Bella was the recordable book from Hallmark, The Night Before Christmas, though I did end up purchasing it on Ebay. And the scarf I am wearing was Drew's gift to me--and yes, it does match Bella's blanket! What a great hubby I have!

On a side note, if you notice, Bella had an outfit for every occasion. How many total? FIVE, though there are only three different in the pics above. She is my little fashionista, what can I say?! Truly, she was given each of the outfits as gifts, so I had to make sure she had a chance to wear them before they were too small, and Christmas was over.
