Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday & Happy New Year

Dear Camryn,

We've had the busiest couple of weeks! Lots and lots of family came to visit us for your first Christmas, and boy, did they ever bring gifts! You were spoiled! You really enjoyed opening gifts, and you would reach out and grab at the presents and put the bows, wrapping paper, and gift in your mouth. Everyone kept telling me not to go overboard buying you gifts, or making your Christmas special because you wouldn't remember it anyway....but I WILL! I will always remember watching you open your very first Christmas present with Grammie & Grandpa, and how excited you were with each new gift that Grammie pulled from the gift bag. I will always remember dressing you in your reindeer outfit when we went with all the family to the outdoor shopping center because it was cold outside, and you looked so stinkin' adorable. I will always remember that Uncle Brenden taught you to stick your tongue out on command - you loved that! I will always remember the lunch that Mimi treated us to at the Lakeway Country Club because you showed everyone how well you drink from a straw. You loved when they would cheer and clap for you after each sip! I will always remember that on my 25th birthday you pooped exploded in your pants right before we were going into the mall, and me, Grandma, and Daddy were up to our elbows (literally) in poop. We didn't buy anything at the mall that day except a new outfit for you, because we were going to have to burn the one you ruined!! :)
Here are a few pictures from your first Christmas (and more):

 Love, Mommy
