Our Christmas

Christmas was SO MUCH FUN this year! Anabelle could open her presents, get excited about them and enjoy her new toys. She was the perfect age to add an incredible amount of joy and excitement to our day. Just look at how much she loved tearing into her gifts:
We started the morning out by waking up in our own beds for the first time since I've known Mike. A wonderful thing! We had a mix of traditional Campbell & Mack Christmas morning breakfasts, and Anabelle enjoyed some yummy rice cereal and applesauce. Since we live next door to my parents right now, they came over with Auntie Abby to watch Anabelle open her gifts. She loved it! She got a few books, which she went crazy over! Hope to share video of that soon.
And her big gift from daddy and mommy was a LeapFrog musical learning table. It was fun to open and so much more fun to play with!
I think she would agree, it was a good morning!That afternoon, we went to my parents' for our Christmas celebration, and Aunt Rachie and Shaun joined us. We, of course, sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus first and read the Christmas story in the Bible. We look forward to teaching Anabelle about the real reason for Christmas!

Then, it was gift time. Mimi and Papa got her a leopard purse. (I may have helped pick it out.) She is ready to shop!And, of course, she had to have her own remote control. She tries to eat them whenever she sees one, so now she has her own to chew on.

Lots of other thoughtful and wonderful gifts were exchanged, but we tried to enjoy the moments rather than take pictures of all of them.

I think this sums up our Christmas this year:

Wonderful, amazing and a miracle from God!
