The Best Christmas Present...EVER!

The day after Christmas was spent at my grandparents' home with my Dad's side of the family. As always, we had a wonderful time!

McKenna hung out with Grandma. I made her wear her fancy dress again, just to show it off! It was so cute, I had to get good use out of it!

Noticeably missing from the celebration were Ryan & Susan. The group was told they had something to attend to, but would be there eventually. Brian and I and my parents were the only ones that really knew where they were. Dad and I anxiously (and not horribly subtly!) tracked their arrival through texts on our phones and helped get everyone in the main room as they walked in.

And they walked in with brand new roles...as parents! They walked in carrying this precious little girl!

How beautiful is she?!


Ryan and Susan met their daughter Christmas Day and got to take her home the following day. Click here for the whole story! Our family gathering happened to be on the way home, so we all got a quick peek at her before they made it home and settled in as a family!

Susan was made for the job!
