Tomorrow my little angle will be six months old! SIX MONTHS?! Wow, when she was born I thought that was such a long time away and it's here. Before I know it I'll be planning her first birthday.
The holidays for my family have been bitter sweet. I'm so glad to have my family, they are they very foundation for who I am. Besides the birth of Ariel and a few other events, 2009 has been a pretty crappy year. Several of my family members have fallen ill, thankfully to recover, however we are still waiting on Aunt Mary to come home. We missed her greatly at Christmas and we will miss her dearly this evening as well. We just want her well.
Anyway, Christmas was fun! Ariel fell asleep during the Christmas Eve gift exchange but woke up shortly after. I think she just secretly wanted all the attention on her (like she doesn't always have it). Christmas morning we went to my sisters and did our morning "santa" gifts and then had Christmas dinner (which was more like a lunch). The following day we had Christmas with just myself, Steve, and Ariel (since he had to work on Christmas). We are truly blessed.
Ariel has gotten both of her bottom teeth in! First the right one came in and then it seemed like the next day the left one came through. Right in time for Christmas!
I'm so excited to bring in the new year. I'm hoping 2010 brings health and happiness to everyone.
