Where Did Our Infant Go?

Dear Our Big Girl, you are getting so big! You have out grown all your 0-3 month clothing, won't let Mommy swaddle you anymore, AND sleep for 10 hours in your big girl crib! We are love to watch you grow and learn, but sad to see our little infant disapear. Here are a couple comparisions from when you were first born and now.
Love,

Snow Days!

  

Dear Snow Princess,

This week we had our “annual” snowstorm and had about 6” of snow. It snowed Sunday night and we were “snowed in” until Wednesday, so mommy and daddy had 3 extra days to spend with you at home cuddline with you.  You really liked watching the colors and light of the fires that daddy made in the fireplace.  When it came time to take you outside to experience your first snow, your mommy put so many layers of clothes on you that you could barely move your arms and they were sticking straight out.  You have never really liked to have hats on and today was no different as you voiced your frustration and continuously tried to remove the hat with the funny little ears.  When we finally got outside, you were curious of what this cold, white stuff was all over the ground and just stared in amazement.  You weren’t quite sure when daddy sat you in the snow and mommy wasn’t sure either when daddy wanted to let you make your first snow angel, so daddy acted like a good parent and didn’t get you too wet and cold.  We love to experence new things through your eyes.

Love,

   Daddy

Oh Christmas Tree!

Dear Our Little Reindeer,

The day after Thanksgiving may be your Mommy’s favorite day of the year because it’s the day we get our Christmas tree. You’ll find this out next year, but with your Mommy, selecting the perfect Christmas tree is very important and Daddy must hold up and shake a minimum of five (and sometimes ten) trees before we are allowed to select one. When we arrived home with the perfect tree, you became fascinated as we decorated the tree with all of the lights.  Your eyes got big as we lit the tree for the first time. One of your favorite past times these days is staring at any light that we put in front of you.  We sat you in front of the tree and let you watch the lights blink on your first Christmas tree as Mommy and Daddy decorated it with our special ornaments. We have collected ornaments from vacations and special events and enjoy remembering the fun times each year when we hang them on the tree. This year we have an extra special ornament, “McKenzie’s 1^st Christmas”. We look forward to creating many holiday traditions with you.  

Love,

  The Crazy Tree People
