Christmas was so great for us this year. All because of our newest member of the family. Children are what give such purpose to holidays, and Dare has for sure done that for us. He never quite figured out the whole gift opening part. He just liked the paper, bows, and the item once it was unwrapped. We had fun helping him figure it all out.
A tradition growing up in my family was to dress up as the different characters in the nativity story. So, this year at our family party, the Bailey clan got roped in to dressing the parts of Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus. We were ever so thrilled to be robed and swaddled ;) haha
Auntie Shalise is so creative and artistic. She did this letter for Dare, and said that each year to come she will do one for him. He will have quite the collection someday! It is such a cool thing, and I am so grateful that she shares her talent with us!
He LOVES the drum from granny and papa!!
The 3 (out of 4) of us, we were missing our lil sis Raenie today!
(But, it sounds like her clan in Colorado had quite a fun Christmas with a new Karaoke set!)
He got spoiled with lots and lots of things that he SO does NOT need! But, he'll have loads of fun creating messes with it all... just for mom to chase around and clean up!
(mom may have to hide some of his new things, wrap them up, and re-gift them on his birthday!)
the paper is so fun!
Merry Merry Christmas!
Love, Dare.
