This Christmas season held lots of fun for our family. For the first time, Lily really started to "get it." Unfortunately, "getting it" meant a paralyzing fear of Santa Clause.
Christmas morning, our girl ran out to her presents with excitement... until Daddy and I announced "look what Santa brought you!" I've never seen such a quick turn around. Our little girl made a quick beeline for the bedroom at the suggestion that Santa could be anywhere in our house. Forget presents, this was serious!
Finally, however, when the coast was deemed clear from any Santa Clause sneaking around, we had a great time opening presents. Lily opened them one at a time, methodically, true to her norm. She wanted to play with each and every toy before moving onto the other, which made for a slow, but special morning. Kitchen sets, playdough and duckies...oh my!
We also got to enjoy Christmas with all of our family. It started with "Christmas in Michigan", an annual Conley tradition.
We spent Christmas Eve at Auntie Diane's enjoying good food and great family.
Christmas included family and even a special night with friends, too.
We have been blessed with so many wonderful things this year, but most importantly, all of our wonderful friends and family.
Happy New Year!!!
