Reflections

Throughout this past week I couldn't help thinking about last year at this time. I was newly pregnant and feeling pretty crappy. Only a handful of people knew and the rest we tried to hide it from during all of the Holiday events. I remember early Christmas morning getting the call from Rick after he had opened our present that told him of our news. It was so fun to think and dream about what our baby was going to be like the following year and how different every Christmas from here on out was going to be.

And this year she was here! Even though she's way too young to understand what is going on, Christmas still had a more magical feel about it. She could share the excitement everyone was feeling through her smiles and giggles. We tried hard to have her help open presents. She would occasionally get a hold of some of the paper and help rip it off. Grandma found some shiny paper that really caught her eye. Playing with the packages were almost as fun as the actual gift.


As fun as this Christmas was I couldn't help thinking ahead to next year and all of the fun things that are to come. Sienna will be running all over saying words here and there. Baby girl Park will be [possibly] crawling around. The craziness will be ten fold but I can't wait!
