First Christmas

Our little Lenny Lou is 5 months old (23 weeks to be exact). She is the happiest baby in the world. She is always smiling and laughing. No matter how shitty of a day I have had, her smile can turn it all around. One of my favorite parts is how her eyes light up when she smiles. They literally sparkle and it melts me.

Lenore's first Christmas was yesterday and it's safe to say that it was a success. She got so many presents (her favorite being a bouncer from Mommy & Daddy). We decided that one of our Christmas traditions will be to give Lenore a new pair of jammies on Christmas Eve (which we did). We hid her presents from her until Christmas, which I know may sound silly, but I want to feel the Christmas magic with her for as long as I can.

We hosted Christmas dinner at our house and it was a lot of fun. We made a completely gluten free meal and everything turned out pretty well. I made a Christmas Sangria (thanks Pinterest) that was delicious! I'll definitely be using that recipe again. After dinner and presents, we played some LCR and then everyone headed home for the night. Lenore did really well all day which was great. Sometimes she gets over stimulated and that makes her cranky, but she was golden all the way until we put her to bed, which made me happy.

With that, here's lots of pictures from yesterday. Merry Christmas!
