It is so fun to see Christmas through the eyes of a child (even though MR doesn't really know what's going on yet). However, I already see how it can be easy to go a little overboard with gifts so I'd like to come up with some sort of "rule" for future Christmases pertaining to how many gifts Molly Ruth gets. I have heard of several that I think are on the right track...some people limit the number of gifts to three (because that's how many the Wise Men gave). Or, I have also seen a "rule" for gift giving that goes like this: something you want, something you need, something you wear, something you read. I like that one too. If anyone out there has a successful rule or tradition along these lines I'd love to hear it...
On Christmas Eve, we drove to Columbia to visit with Matt's family. It was a beautifully crisp and sunny day.
MR was her usual jovial, gregarious self. She got some wonderful gifts...
And the Most Favorite Gift Award this year goes to Zach and Courtney for this Fisher Price Baby Grand Piano! Molly loved it and has not stopped playing with it and laughing at it since we got it. She bounces up and down and shakes her little booty while she composes new tunes...
It was nice to get to see loved ones...
And share in the joy of receiving treasures passed down from loved ones who are no longer with us...
We celebrated our first Christmas in our new home...
And revelled in the magic of the Christmas Spirit...
