My First Christmas

I celebrated my first Christmas and I got spoiled! We were going to start celebrating on the 23rd with Daddy's side of the family but Cohen got sick so we had to postpone that until he was feeling better. Christmas Eve was the first day Cohen and I could be around each other so I wouldn't catch croup from him. Mom was happy because she had been looking forward to us all spending Christmas Eve together as a family. We spent the day watching Christmas movies, Mom and Cohen baked cookies and made a ginger bread house. I spent the day watching them and hanging out with Daddy.

Christmas morning when we woke up Santa had come. I slept in later than everyone else so Cohen had opened his presents by the time I got up. But it was nice then he could play with his new toys and Mom and Dad helped me open my presents while he played.

Cohen got me a stuffed taggie dog. Mom and Dad got me a stuffed monkey, some crib shoes and a Minnie Mouse autograph book for Disneyland. Santa brought me some sippy cups, bibs and containers for when Mommy makes me homemade baby food. He left me pacifiers and warm fuzzy socks in my stocking.

Later in the afternoon we went to Great Grandpa and Grandma Cota's house. It was the first time I met my great grandpa Cota. It was nice to meet him - though he wasn't feeling well that day. I also got snuggled by my great-aunt Brigid. (picture) and my great-aunt Kathy.



 I got some nice gifts there from my great aunts and uncles. From there we went to see Uncle Dolly and Grandpa Dahlstrom's cabin they just bought. Mom and Dad thought it was very nice. After that we went back to Granny's house and opened gifts with her. She got me a little dolly, some fuzzy booties and some clothes.

After that we went to open gifts with Grandpa Cota. Grandma was gone but we got to spend time with Grandpa. I got a doll, little moses basket and bed set for the doll and some clothes.

The next day we went to visit my Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Jones. Then I got to go meet my Great Grandma Dahlstrom. It was fun to meet her. After that we went to visit Dewey, Danette, Cam, Bailey, Carson and Brin. They spoiled me with gifts too! I'm such a lucky little girl.



We headed back home later that night. We were all worn out from the fun filled Christmas Day and day after.

This past Saturday we were able to get together with Daddy's side of the family. I once again got spoiled! I got a lot of clothes, a sippy up with some money, more clothes and a big toy for when I'm older that looks like it's going to be a lot of fun!


All in all my first Christmas was great. I'm really looking forward to next Christmas when I can more actively participate.
