Samantha's First Christmas (Day)

Samantha enjoyed a rather extended holiday season, thanks to visits from many wonderful relatives throughout December.  However, her first Christmas day was still very special!  She behaved beautifully given the onslaught of presents, attention, and schedule shifts.  Since it was her first Christmas and none of us were in a hurry, we did it her way, and as a result opened presents between meals and naps all day.  It wasn't that there were too many presents -- although there really were plenty -- but we had to stop and play with all of the bags, paper, bows, tags, and boxes, in addition to enjoying the gifts themselves.

Our big gift for Samantha was this mirror and "ballet bar" that we installed in our game room.  She loves to giggle and talk with "the girl in the mirror", and I hope that the bar will encourage her to pull up and stand on her own.  Perhaps the idea backfired.  I think this is the last time Samantha was seen standing

Here, Samantha has "plopped" down and will not be seen standing on her own for weeks.

Samantha enjoyed several toys as gifts from friends and family.

I'm rather proud that I still prepared a traditional Christmas dinner, complete with the china and tablecloth.  Of course, I have no photographic evidence that I did any of this, but I can prove that Carl carved the turkey breast.
