Aria's first Christmas was a big day. In the morning, our little family of three opened presents together as more beautiful fresh snow fell outside the window. It's rare to have a white Christmas here in Northwest Washington, but Aria was blessed with loads of the white stuff on her very first Christmas.
After breakfast and a nap, we went cross-country skiing in the park by our house. Afternoon brought a visit from Aria's birth parents, Amber and Charlie, and lots more presents for Aria from Amber and Charlie's family members. Many thanks to all who sent gifts. We've never seen such a tiny girl pull in so much Christmas loot! In fact, there were so many presents that we ended up waiting until the day after Christmas to open up one more box from Ted's sister Kathy.
We, of course, took many many photos, but I decided to narrow it down to three to give the flavor of the day: skiing with Mommy and Daddy in the park, with Amber and her new beany babies (we understand these beany babies belonged to Amber when she was little), and last, with a big smile as she sits in the empty box from Amber's mom, Vicki.
