Wright Christmas Eve Pizza Party Pics

Christmas Eve Pizza Party and Who doesn't Love Santa!!!

It's the Annual Wright Pizza Party on Christmas Eve. It was wonderful to see the family and catch up. Lots of laughs! Here are a few pic's with Kajsia and great-grandpa and great-grandma wright, grandma and grandpa wright and all the cousins!

Who doesn't love the night before SANTA comes! Kajsia loves Santa!

looking at the lights

Sitting in her bumbo for long periods of time staring and reaching for the christmas lights... it calmed her. I love thinking that her pure heart isn't just attracted to the light, she looks toward it as a reminder of where she came from. In all of the hustle and bustle and celebration, He is the light and the life! I think she already knows that because she hasn't been gone from Him that long.

She doesn't need Mistletoe to be Kissed

It's true... she's a love muffin for sure! This was Christmas Eve on the way to the Wright's for the Annual "Wrights" Family Christmas Pizza Party (even my first!). Of course, we've learned not to dress her in the outfit she's to wear. Just after buckling in, she decided to ruin her white terry pants. So, I changed her into legwarmers. She sure gives Jane Fonda a run for her $$$.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

I look forward to this time of year... there is nothing more exciting than NYC at Christmas time. The lights, the Rockefeller Christmas Tree, the Nutcracker (ouch!), eggnog, pumpkin bread, getting Christmas cards from friends and family, decorating the Christmas tree and of course the music (nothing beats Thistlehair the Christmas Bear)! A family friend actually starts playing Christmas music the day after Halloween... If Dee Dee can do it that early, I can start before Thanksgiving, right?

Well, this year was even more special. She was our BEST PRESENT EVER and it was the first of everything with Kajsia. Taking her to see Santa at Bloomingdales, staring at the Christmas tree lights, wrapping her like a bundle to see "The Tree", opening gifts, dressing her up in the cutest holiday garb and watching her eyes light up to the soundtrack of "Alabama's Christmas." Here are a few pictures of us this Christmas season!
