Madeline’s first Christmas was in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, so we went big for her first and only Christmas out of the hospital.

Waking up with Madeline snuggled in bed between us was the best present we ever could have asked for.

We miss you so much baby. Merry Christmas, Mommy and Daddy love you for eternity.
