Gabriella's 1st Christmas

Gabriella had a terrific 1st Christmas. She is almost 7 months old. She enjoyed being at all the parties and gatherings...she's quite the social bug. Santa Claus visited our house and brought some great gifts. She got lots of clothes, toys, and several other special gifts. She enjoyed opening the presents, realizing that something really neat was inside all that crunchy paper. Though she's still a bit young, she was also taught the true meaning of all this celebrating: the birth of Jesus Christ. We are so incredibly blessed and thankful for His ultimate gift to us.


Her great-grandfather, Pops, made this treasure box of hand-made alphabet cards. How special!

Mommy & Daddy gave her her first finger-foods on Christmas...yummy green beans. She was thrilled!

What do you mean, this isn't Rudolph? (Note: no animals were harmed in the snapping of these pictures)

I love my reindeer...er, uh doggies.


Showin' off her new kicks, some cool Converse given by Uncle Cam.


A super special globe, with her name engraved. Thanks Abuelo y Abuela!


Daddy helped her open all of her gifts. Boy, was that fun.


Wow, Santa, how can I ever thank you?!


Santa knew this learning table would be SO much fun. Especially as she learns to creep and walk.

Oh, Santa, you are so good. You knew she would be thrilled (and maybe slightly obsessed) with this giant purple CareBear. This is a giant sized version of "Bedtime Bear," whom she lovingly sleeps with.

Sportin' her Christmas attire.


Fun at the table with everyone.
