Merry Christmas to All!

We hope that you Christmas is Merry and Bright!
We've had an amazing year! Welcoming Penny in February was the highlight of your year and we've made so many amazing memories together as a family. She's keeping us on our toes these days, showing us that there are endless things we need to baby proof now that she's mobile. She's curious and funny and equal parts sensitive little angel and rough little rebel. She gives the best hugs and even better giggles! We're sure that 2011 will bring even more fun as she learns more words and shows more of her personality. We're excited to be starting our own family Christmas traditions. We know that Penny won't understand too much about the holiday this year, but we've been reading to her about baby Jesus and taking her to Mass throughout Advent. She loves Church! People sing to her and there are all sorts of shiny things to look at. She's made quite a few friends at Church and we hope she brightens their day! She's actually starting to say hi to some of the seniors who look forward to seeing her every week and she loves to see the twins who work at her doctor's office (who are a huge help to me every week as we leave Church!). So, in addition to opening presents with Penny, we're looking forward to taking her to Christmas Mass. I can't wait for the year when she'll want to go up front to see baby Jesus in the manger...I remember doing it as a child and think it will be even more fun to see it through our baby's eyes.
We are looking forward to sharing Penny's first Christmas with our families. She'll get to see Nana and Papa and some of her aunties and we'll get to skype with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Terra & Bill and Aunt Megan & Chris. Technology is amazing and we're so thankful for it, especially at the holidays!
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and we hope that 2011 is filled with many blessings!
love, Penny, Mommy & Daddy
