We had a great time celebrating Caitlynn's first Christmas. She must have a been a VERY good girl since Santa unloaded his entire sleigh at our house! We spent Christmas Eve with the extended Harbold family up near Gettysburg, PA. Santa stopped by to deliver presents. We tried to have Caitlynn sit on his lap but she cried the instant we put her down. She did have a fun time playing with her cousins... and their new toys!
Christmas was spent at our house. Grandpop and Nonna came down from NJ. Popi, Mimi, and Uncle Rusty came down from PA. We all loved watching Caitlynn attempt to open up her gifts. She was pretty good in the beginning but in the end, all she wanted to do was sit on the boxes or play with them. We ended up opening most of her gifts while she watched or crawled around. We were very blessed to have "Santa" bring her so many clothes, toys, and treats. Of course, all of her new toys had to opened up and tested out on Christmas morning. Luckily, Santa remembered to give her batteries for all of her gifts. Santa is just so smart!
After a busy morning, we had a early afternoon dinner. Laura made butternut squash soup, salad, and chicken and steak (which was cooked fondue style). It was fun to sit around the table and enjoy the great company. We had a very memorable first Christmas with Caitlynn and are so thankful our families joined us for this special time with her!
