Evy's 1st Amazing Christmas!

It's hard to even put into words just how special this Christmas has been. Being surrounded by loved ones, family and friends, has been a true blessing. The first Christmas with your little one is one that truly takes your breath away. We are so happy that Evy seemed enjoyed every minute of the past two days. It's nice that she's old enough to be inqusitive and cognisant of her surroundings so she can laugh and giggle and enjoy all of the gifts Santa brought her:) That's makes it even more fun! She sure was spoiled this year:) Shocker, right?
We had a wonderful Christmas Eve day with Grandma and Grandpa Inkley followed by Grandma and Grandpa Durbin. Today we celebrated again with Grandma and Grandpa Inkley along with John, Melissa and little Jack....the future guitar hero:)...Thanks for coming over guys! Daddy had to go into work so Mommy and Evy surprised him later in the day! He was so excited to see us:) We just love daddy!
It was wonderful to see Jack and Evy together. Jack seemed to think Evy was his little student and Evy sure thought it was nice to have another little one around here....at least someone around her size:)
I'm sure I'm the typical first time parent, taking millions of pictures, but I couldn't stand to miss a beat! There's just something about watching a little girl open up, with assistance of course, her first Christmas gifts from Santa. Those little girls sure find a way to take your breath away...I guess that's why there's so many songs about "little girls!" :)
Celebrating as a family has been wonderful. It's so nice to have all of our parents still be together...married for years.... and to be such great role models for our children. Celebrating all these memorable holidays together is what life is about. They all seem to have a blast with Evy and Jack! We are all so lucky to have such wonderful, blessed, and joy filled lives. I thank GOD every day for all of my blessings....especially my whole family! I can't believe I lucked out with such an amazing husband and beautiful daughter....Santa must love me:) LOL
We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
