...And it makes me a little sad because no asked me if she could get bigger.

I wonder how long she'll be willing to wear a shirt that says, "Christmas Baby." My guess is not much longer. For everyone that has a "Christmas Baby" can I just say, it's kind of like a club isn't it? We get to sit around and complain about the woes of having a birthday party and then turning around a few days later and having Christmas (or vice versa). And any time when any one complains about their kids birthday, we think to ourselves, "Yeah, talk to me when your kid shares a birthday with Jesus."

But I love it. And one day, it will give her a reason to be mad at us. When people ask what we were thinking having a baby this time of year, we say, "Uh...we weren't thinking about having a baby this time of year."

Kendall,
We brought you home from the hospital in the middle of a blizzard after an 11 day power outage. From those first days, you have made your presence known. You're my little Christmas baby and I love you.

It's no big deal being a Christmas baby. At church I was reminded by your dad that I share the same birthday as Kendall. Just think of her as the best Christmas present you could ever get.

Happy Birthday Kendall!!!
And I remember that blizzard- you were really put to the test two years ago with a newborn, a toddler, a blizzard and Christmas.
Glad you weathered it through. Your kids are beautiful. :)
