In 2000, Christmas pictures with my miracle baby – we were told I would never conceive or carry a baby. She slept through the whole thing- we tried everything to wake her up but those 1st Christmas pictures of her sound asleep and so peaceful are such a treasure now that she’s in college.

Decorating the tree with my parents and brother, making and decorating Christmas cookies with my mom, attending midnight mass at church, and seeing the smile on my grandma’s face because she would get to see all of her family on Christmas.

My favorite Christmas memory was the first year I got to celebrate with my newborn son. It was a Christmas I’ll never forget.
