Madeleine is enjoying all of the sights, sounds, and smells of her first Christmas - and she's even getting a classic New England white Christmas to boot!
Madeleine loves watching the birds outside the French doors in the family room and looking out onto the snow. There's even more to see now that she can stand up on her own.
Madeleine really got into the holiday spirit with her festive winter sweater and reindeer antlers.
She loves having Grandpa read her bedtime stories while she's wearing her warm new moo cow pajamas.
Madeleine loves to clap when things are going her way.
Madeleine made her debut on the local holiday scene. Although she's not old enough yet to partake in all of the local traditions such as the Butterball and the Dark and Stormy, she still had a grand time. Mom and Dad even let her stay up a bit past her bedtime so she could socialize, which enabled her to meet a famous author named Lila Stewart.
Madeleine loved playing with the balloon Mommy got her as part of an early birthday celebration - and woe be unto those who attempt to take the balloon before she wants to give it up.
Madeleine had an extra special surprise on Christmas morning - her presents were delivered in person by Santa, who announced his presence with much bell ringing and ho-ho-ho-ing.
We were a little suspicious of Santa but we liked it when he gave us our presents, which we promptly opened. Madeleine loves ripping open wrapping paper (and newspapers, and magazines, and paper bags.....)
Then it was time for pictures in front of the Christmas tree with Grandma and Grandpa - followed by a nice nap after a very busy morning.
Merry Christmas to all!
