Caroline's 1st CHRISTmas

Christmas finally came. It is crazy how much time is spent to prepare for this holiday and then it passes by so quickly. Of course, this being C's first Christmas, lots of planning was done, outfits were bought, just to make sure everything was perfect. Caroline had her first party at NaNa's (Debs) the Friday before Christmas. They each drew a name of someone to buy for (Caroline drew Kerrington's name)  and we bought for Nana of course. I also bought a cookie came to take for all the kiddos to eat at their party.



Our next Christmas gathering was with the Strunk family. They love Caroline so much and made her Christmas very special with new clothes and toys! We are so blessed to have them in our lives and I can only hope and pray that Caroline grows up to be just like Madison and Maggie. 

Christmas Eve was a busy day also. Chris and I procrastinated a little so we spent most of the day getting all of Caroline's "big" presents put together and wrapped everything else. We wanted to make sure Christmas morning was perfect. That night was spent with my step-mom's family at Marc and Sherry's. We had a ton of food, opened presents and then played Dirty Santa which is always a blast. We had to hurry home and put C to bed so Santa could come. 

        Caroline was waiting patiently for everyone to finish eating so she could open presents!!
