Christmas recap?!

It is a bit late for a Christmas recap, but I feel like I have to do it before I can start posting other stuff. Sprite's first Christmas was lots of fun and filled with lots of visits to family and other holiday activities. We did a few things that I hope will become family traditions over the years...

Homemade tamales (make for a delicious Christmas breakfast along with a mimosa) from this Alton Brown recipe.

New pajamas for Christmas Eve - I made the bags from a pattern in Weekend Sewing by Heather Ross.

A Christmas morning photo in said pajamas. Note to self - not the best angle for the annual photo.


Playtime with some Christmas presents including Sprite's new swing.


a visit to the Circus with Grandma Jenny and Little J - oops, didn't upload those photos yet.

And here is my favorite photo from the whole holiday. It really captures Sprites personality - happy, inquisitive, and ready to go.

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday too. Up next - the New Years recap!

  2. Thanks! We actually didn't have many photos from Christmas. I decided I needed to put down the camera for a while and just enjoy it. I didn't want all of my memories of her first christmas to be through a camera lens. It is a bad habit of mine.
