At some point I'll get around to posting some pictures but for now, I'll just say that every room in our house now looks like a toy store exploded.
I guess that's what you get when you have the first grandbaby on both sides, 8 aunts and uncles, four sets of great grandparents, and a billion people who love you and want to shower you with gifts on your first Christmas :-)!
We feel so blessed to be able to have spent so much time with our wonderful families and friends this Christmas. We're so thankful for Anna this Christmas.
We're thankful that my whole family got to go to Mass together at my the parish we grew up in and we FILLED a pew. It's been a quite a few years since schedules allowed us to all share a pew together! It was most definitely the highlight of our Christmas. With Anna asleep in her new carrier, and family surrounding us, it was so peaceful to sit in a quiet pew staring at the baby in the manger listening to the choir since joyful Christmas songs. It brought tears to my eyes to have my own baby snuggled up on my chest and understanding the joy Mary must have felt.

I love your last paragraph ... especially the part about Anna snuggled up in your arms and you experiencing the joy Mary felt! Beautiful! Merry Christmas!
