Reese's first Christmas was indeed a busy one loaded with friends, family, travel and a ton of gifts. Reese started opening presents in early December and honed her paper-tearing skills all the way through the end of the year. Reese loves all of the things that Santa brought her this year even though she would probably have been just as happy with a couple of cardboard boxes, one of Daddy's old shoes, a lid to a fry pan and her most recent fascination...the potato masher.

Here are a few images from the month of December:
