Christmastime Favorites

Chloe loves the tree.... the lights, the ornaments, all the presents wrapped underneath. We sit and look at it while we read Christmas stories and sing Christmas songs!

Chloe also really likes the little tree in her bedroom because she knows it's HERS. Every morning when she wakes up, she first wants to give Teddy a kiss, then she wants to see her Christmas tree. What a funny girl.

Izzy and Chloe are such sweet cousins and being with her is one of Chloe's Christmastime favorites for sure. It is so funny because every year, Izzy and Chloe always coordinate their outfits for the family Christmas party, even though we don't plan it. It's pretty amazing, actually! This year, they had identical hair bows, red shirts, denim skirts & tights. What special little friends they are!

Santa is another one of her favorites. She loves him, but is not so crazy about sitting on his lap, although, even though she was scared out of her mind, she still managed to give him a quick kiss. So sweet.

She much preferred Santa while she was in Dad or Mom's arms. Then she was smiling, blowing him kisses & giving him five!

Christmas presents is another favorite. Although, if truth be told, she'd be just as happy with an empty box... it's ripping that paper that really makes her smile!

Being all together with her cousins is another favorite thing. She loves them and they love her so much. It is so special and I hope that never changes!

I am SO happy to report that Chloe appears to be on the mend. Her sneezing, coughing, fevering days are coming to a close and we are so grateful (and a bit shocked!) that Oby or I didn't catch the bug. We're still keeping our fingers crossed, but it seems we're going to have a happy, healthy holiday after all! Yay!
