Rylee's first Christmas

I can not begin to explain how good it felt to be able to spend Christmas with both my girls this year. I get teary just thinking about it. Renee and I have had our ups and downs the last few years and our Christmas's have been hit and miss, mostly miss. This year she graced me with her presence BOTH Christmas eve AND Christmas day. I'm not sure that she realizes how much that meant to me. That girl can melt my heart like no one else can and she has broken my heart like no one else has. I thank god that we have the relationship that we do today and I pray that it keeps getting stronger.

As for Miss Rylee... She had so much fun too. She is 7 1/2 months now and forget the presents, she'll take the wrapping paper! We were good as long as she had her binky in her mouth, she kept the paper out, Her favorite toy was the bumble bee pillow pet that nana and papa gave her. She hugged and hugged then when she was all done opening presents with papa, she layed on it to drink her bottle.

She is growing so fast. She sits now all by herself for long periods of time. She holds her own bottle and is perfectly content with feeding herself. NO TEETH YET. We are still waiting for those. I am still waiting to hear the word MOMMA come out of her mouth but I guess that will come in due time too.
This truly was my best Christmas EVER. I love my girls with all my heart!
