Today is the day after Christmas and I'm wishing so bad that I could just rewind back to Thanksgiving and relive this whole season over again- and again and again. It's true, time flies when you have babies. I blinked and Christmas is gone! But it has been the absolute best. I can only imagine how magical each year will be as Myla gets older. My mom and I bought her quite a few gifts this year; which Kaleo just could not understand since she's not even old enough to know what she's getting. But I couldn't help myself! I wrapped them so neatly too and put my prettiest ribbons and tags on them. I was so excited to have her sit on my lap and help me open them on Christmas morning. But... of course she was fussy and sleepy and so I ended up opening them all by myself! And I just kept thinking, omg why did I take the time to wrap all of these??? But I think the excitement of it all made my time spent SO worth it anyways. But Myla
did LOVE crinkling tissue paper while she was awake. We started a new tradition this year where Myla opens a Christmas book every Christmas Eve. However, this year she fell asleep too early so we read to her on Christmas morning. I made Kaleo read the book to her because I cried in the store when I first read it, so I knew I definitely wouldn't be able to control myself while reading the sweet words to Myla. Kaleo's mom got us the cutest matching Christmas jammies and I can definitely say that dressing in them with Myla felt like something I have always dreamt of. Even Kaleo had a matching set and it was just too perfect. Myla got lots of toys and my mom made her some of the most darling outfits. I'm already dreaming of next year and all of the years to follow when Myla believes in Santa and we can bake him cookies and send our Christmas lists to the North Pole. Allll the heart eyes!! Being a mom is the best, especially at Christmas!
