Merry Christmas sweet baby girl! This month was packed… from sledding and holiday parties, to your annual photo with Santa, the Clayton Children’s Museum and plenty of playtime with Grayson. Of course the Sunday tradition of hanging out at the Farmer’s Market with Dad and heading over to Grandma Bev Sue’s continued along, but I was also able to take the entire week between Christmas & New Year off so we got in all sorts of precious quality time which I so enjoyed. We made the annual trek to Baldwin Hills Crenshaw plaza to get you a photo with black Santa, and you dished out a heavy dose of your trademark side eye in return. We’ll be back, obvi. ;) You attended the Playgroup Holiday party, but instead of playing with the other kids and joining the noisy drum circle and high jinx ensuing all over the playground, you played in the water by yourself and read yourself a book. At the moment you prefer to observe the others from afar… I’m curious to see how that part of your personality unfolds as you get older. Back home, you helped me decorate the tree, and when I first put it up and turned on the lights you said “Oh thank you SO much for my tree mommy!” so sweet. You also seem to be a huge fan of Christmas music and we sang carols together every day. (you like Frosty the Snowman as a lullaby, but I only know the first words so everything else is replaced with “lalalala” in my version and still you ask for it over and over… LOL!) Daddy pulled out all the stops for this Christmas of course (I have a feeling this will be a “thing” from here on out) and you had an incredible time. You got a little gift fatigue and stopped wanting to open more presents after a while so you could play with what had already been revealed! On Christmas Day, both Grammies, Sarah, Grayson and RuRu all came over for lunch. We put matching jammies on you & G and y’all were the cutest Christmas elves ever.
