Christmas 2013

We really had a great holiday. This year Lily really seemed to know it was Christmas, she was so excited. When she came downstairs and saw that Santa had brought the giraffe she asked for, her eyes lit up and she threw her head back and laughed! (We suggested things she could ask Santa for and when we suggested Giraffe, she would always get giggly.) She also did very well with tolerating new toys and didn't seem overwhelmed nearly as much this year. We spread her gifts out over a few days and still haven't finished opening her presents. Maybe going slower was the key! She also really loved watching the Disney Christmas Parade on tv; she was squealing with delight. We relished in her excitement and even dropped a few tears in appreciation for how far we've come. I'm hopeful that 2013 brings even more positive changes!!
