Bailey's first Christmas!!! It was the first time we got to be Santa- granted we didn't get do much Santa-ing, but it was still fun to pretend.
We got to have 2 Christmas celebrations this year since we got to celebrate with the Hartmann side a week earlier (see SURPRISE! post) and then with the Clark side for the 25th celebrations. Glenys worked so hard all week to make our Christmas Eve extravaganza wonderful. We had a Mexican feast with Tamale's, Sopa Azteca, Spanish Rice, Choco-flan and many other wonderful goodies. Our company included the Steere Family, the Steele Family and Bruce and Glenys.
That night we opened our "Magic Jammies" a tradition from the Hartmann family. You must wear your magic jammies on Christmas Eve or Santa won't come. Our video won't upload- but i promise it was super cute
On Christmas Morning- Bailey woke up around 8:30 she was so excited for Christmas
We went upstairs and opened gifts with Grandma and Grandpa Clark. Bailey hung out with Grandpa to open presents-
Played with the wrapping paper (her favorite gift of the morning)
Posed with pictures from Great Grandma Hartmann
Tried on a New Outfit
Christmas Morning was too much for her and she crashed with Douglas (her kitty) before we ever made it to church. (She received a BEAUTIFUL dress from Grandma Hartmann to wear to church)
That night we had some of the Christesen Clan over for dinner as well Uncle Spencer and Aunt Amy, Netty & James, Mel & Taryn.
Bailey and James ended up having Matching Jammies and were so cute- Photo Op!!!
CUTEST BUM'S EVER!!!!
They even had twin bum changing moments- how adorable
It was a bit strange this year and didn't ever really feel like Christmas - probably because it was still around 50 degrees here in Salt Lake the entire month of December. But we are grateful for this time of year to remember the birth of Christ and to reflect on the many blessings we have received- the greatest being a beautiful little girl whom we love SO much. We hope that you all had a very Merry Christmas as well and enjoyed time with family and friends.
