Harry, Alaina and I had a wonderful Christmas. We woke up at home this Christmas morning and then spent the afternoon with Harry's family. On top of this being Alaina's first Christmas, it was a rare white Christmas in North Carolina.
Alaina after Christmas Eve service at church. She was so good and she looked pretty cute, too.
Waking up Christmas morning... Alaina always has a hard time waking up in the morning.
Unwrapping presents from Santa first.
Yay! Hair bows for Alaina!
Joey and Phoebe must have been good this year, too; Santa brought them toy mice and kitty treats.
The traditional Huffman Christmas breakfast... coffee cake and coffee.
Harry enjoying his coffee cake with his head lamp (a gift from Santa).
Alaina loved her toys from us: Ella the elephant, a grab-apple, and Thumper. We also started a tradition this year... each Christmas Harry and I will each get Alaina a book that we will read to her before bed. Harry selected "If You Give a Kitten a Cupcake" and I got her "Snowmen at Christmas". We have both read her our books and she seemed to enjoy both.
My gift from Harry was a hiking baby backpack. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so we can use it!
Alaina and her Grandpa and Grandma Thompson.

A very tired Alaina fell asleep on her Grandpa Thompson.

When we returned home, we found our front yard covered in snow. It was beautiful and made Alaina's first Christmas seem magical.
The view down our street (Harry wanted to prove it was Christmas so you will have to look closely to see the Christmas lights in the distance).
