Christmas

Christmas was SO much fun this year with Bella! Trevor and I stayed up late Christmas Eve wrapping all her presents (reminded me of my own parents), and we were just so excited for her to see them in the morning. I even had a hard time falling asleep because I was so anxious/excited to see how she'd react.

 

We spent Christmas evening at Mom and Dad Sanford's house.

Bella was such a happy little bug all day. It was a great Christmas-- so fun for us as parents to see our baby girl get so excited (and I know it's only going to get more fun!)

Sanford Christmas

We celebrated Christmas early with Trevor's family since all his siblings were going to be out of town on Christmas day. We had a delicious ham dinner with all the fixin's, opened presents, and then played with our new presents. It's been awhile since all of us have been together at once, it was fun.

We facetimed with Trevor's sister, Lessley, and her family (in Oregon) so we technically really were all together. We got to see their new dog too! Trev is just a little jealous.

The girls were hiding in the corner, going through all the hymn books

(I love their faces in that second photo-- caught in the act..)

Bella loves her cousins, and she absolutely adores Oakley. Every time Oakley even just says hi to her, she lights up and is all smiles and laughs. I think it's because Oaks is the cool older cousin-- she gave her millions of hugs.

Oakley's Christmas Program

Oakley was our little star in a cute Christmas program. I loved watching her be all excited to perform for us. She lined up before any of the kids were there and stayed on her spot-- so cute. Bella had fun running around with all the kids before the program started, and didn't understand why we had to hold her once it began. 

The babies kinda steal the show these days, so it was nice to have something dedicated to Oakley where she was in the spotlight. 

(Her belly kept showing every time she'd raise her arms up, haha. I just love her.)
