Leah's First Christmas

12.25.12

I wanted to make sure to get a short post in with this Christmas being such a special time in our lives. This was our Leah's first Christmas at the ripe age of five days old. David and I have always loved Christmas and everything it represents. And now? It holds an even more special place in our hearts. Christmas will always be a reminder of the day that changed our lives forever. The day we welcomed our baby girl into the world. 

With my due date being Christmas Eve we weren't sure if we would be celebrating Christmas at home or in the hospital. We were so happy that we ended up being home to celebrate Christmas and the birth of our daughter with our family. I thought this little outfit was perfect for our little Leah, seeing as she was the best Christmas present we could have ever hoped for. 

With Leah only being five days old we weren't able to go to Christmas Eve Service or our large family Christmas gatherings {we didn't want to have Leah around a lot of people with the flu going around}, but we did celebrate Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with our immediate family, which was intimate and perfect. We had so much fun laughing by the fire, drinking hot chocolate, opening presents, and watching Christmas movies with our family and our little bundle of joy. 

It was perfect :) 

Holiday traditions started!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around the Wood House!

If you know me at all you know how much I love am obsessed with Christmas! I am also obsessed with decorating/interior design and thought I would take you on a tour through our Christmas home decor!

I can't wait to cuddle Leah next to this fire all winter long :)

Hanging Leah's stocking

 I love looking over at the mantle and seeing her little stocking hang. Seeing her stocking hang reminds me of all the fun traditions we have ahead of us as a family! Thinking about it makes me all giddy inside...I can't wait :)

 Our fur babies are in the holiday spirit too :)

This weekend my girlfriends and I will be doing our Annual Christmas Baking/Decorating and Ornament Exchange, which I am so excited about! We spend the entire day baking different homemade cookies and then divide them up and take them home to our families for the holidays{if our husbands don't devour them first!}. We then do an ornament exchange at the end of the night. I love all of our fun holiday traditions. It's a great way to celebrate the holidays with your girlfriends :)
