We accidentally made a new family tradition, and I couldn’t be more grateful. The overwhelming pressure of making her first Christmas so special was heavy, but I didn’t imagine we’d spend most of the month fighting RSV, bronchitis and pneumonia with an ER visit. I cried so much when we had to cancel on family plans, but we knew it was the wisest decision. Full disclosure we spent December 25 in pajamas and I was so sad to mourn what I thought Christmas should be. We decided to wait and open gifts when Caden could safely join us. But I kept being far too upset over the fact that Addison didn’t get to meet Santa. We phoned a friend and Santa and Mrs. Claus made a house call after Christmas, and I can’t tell you how much these memories will be cherished forever. baby babygirl christmas babysfirstchristmas fyp cutebaby mrsclaus santa
