You have had a wonderful Christmas! I am so happy to be able to spend these special times with you and your brother. I am loving you as you get older (as I always have), especially as we celebrate birthdays and holidays because we get to experience all of these things again for the first time. Your excitement and joy warm my heart and I can’t get enough of it. You have been so excited about Christmas. Every day you would rearrange the ornaments on the tree and make sure everything was just right. Every time you would see anything associated with Christmas you would get so excited and exclaim “Look! It’s Christmas!”. You learned Jingle Bells, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, and Santa Claus is Coming to Town and sang them non stop while bouncing around to the beat. I had to wait to put the presents under the tree because the temptation was just too much for you to handle.
We spent Christmas Eve at your grandma and grandpa Aragon’s house and you had a blast. Your auntie Jen and uncle Tom and cousin Baby Colin were here visiting from Nebraska and you were over the moon. We talk to them on Skype multiple times a week and you were so excited to get to be with them in person. You loved sitting with aunt Jen and you had and Colin played all day long. You two even missed your naps. I am so happy that you are so attached to your family! They all love you so much and enjoy your little happy, sweet personality. You got some great presents from your grandparents and aunt Jen even made you some clothes :)
(trust me- this was the best shot of the bunch!)
The next morning we had Christmas back at our place. I was so excited for you to experience Christmas day this year. I found you some little presents that I knew you would love (jewelry, flashlight, a Mickey Mouse movie) and you were so excited for them. Your big present, however was a scooter and helmet and you were as excited as I hoped you would be! You have been riding that thing around the apartment non stop. Once it warms up a little we’ll let you go out to the park and ride around. I love doing things that make your little face light up and that bring you so much joy. It makes me so happy! The magic of Christmas is in your little eyes and sweet spirit and I couldn’t be happier. The hard thing will be explaining to you that we have to wait another year before it is Christmas time again
