Lydia is having the best First Christmas ever! We traveled to visit her Grammy and Poppy and Great Grandma in Hot Springs and oh what fun we had! (Lydia takes really great naps with Grammy (a.k.a. Nicole's Mom). It hasn't been quite the same since we returned home!) Lydia opened all of her presents thoughtfully and with great care and saved all of the wrapping in its almost perfect form to use again next year. Just kidding! First of all, she didn't open anything. Naturally she doesn't understand that quite yet, although we showed her and tried to involve her in the unveiling of each present. (We didn't go overboard on the gifts this year. Our little one is already so blessed and only needs a few things at a time to keep her interest. Oliver and I want her to appreciate her things and not have so many toys she doesn't even care anymore! I say this, but if you were to take a look at our living room floor you'd say otherwise...) More than anything, she was fascinated by the - you guessed it - curling ribbon. We didn't get any giggles over it this time, but she liked the way it moved and apparently it must have tasted like strawberries or ice cream or something because all she wanted to do was eat it! Once the wrapping paper and presents and ribbon were all around her, she thought that was pretty fun. Her Grammy and Poppy completely showered her with new books to read - Lydia loves books! Another of her gifts was a penguin who has become her new friend! You'll see in the video, below... Now we're home again and Lydia is so lucky to get to have a second First Christmas with Omi and Opa, too! Her second First Christmas will coincide with her first New Year's Eve tonight. So much celebrating to do! Enjoy these pictures and videos. More will follow soon, so stay tuned!
