Hope you all had a Merry Christmas! We certainly did. We were blessed to have the family come to us this year and help us break in our new family room and kitchen. It was a memorable time experiencing the Christmas spirit.
One unforgettable memory will be from the Christmas Family Service we attended on Christmas Eve at our church. The service consisted of the traditional song singing and children acting out the Christmas Story. We sat towards the back, but there was a star hung from the ceiling in the front of the room that was clearly visible (much like the Star of Bethlehem). Throughout the service a well-behaved Aria was focused on the star and repeatedly pointed to it saying "staaahh". This is a new word for her since last week. It was very cute and made us feel great as we sat there together as a family watching the Christmas Story unfold. These are the types of memories you hold close.
Overall Aria enjoyed the last couple of days visiting with family, enjoying good eats and playing with new toys (including the new couch!).

Thankfully Aria can't climb onto the couch herself yet, but she's trying! It was delivered last Friday and ever since then she's used it as her personal jungle gym.
Aria got into opening a few presents, but her attention span was short lived.
Ring-a-Ding-Ding! Aria loves her new phone. Hopefully this will be a good distraction from the real thing.
Aria tried her first Christmas cookie (made by G-ma Jane). I think her little dance clearly shows that she likes them.
