So, Callie Noel was born on Christmas day 2007. While I know that this can be tough for a lot of kids, we tend to think it can be different. Will people outside our immediate family treat the two events as one by doing insensitive things like wrapping her birthday presents in Christmas paper and calling them “2 fer 1 specials?” Yeah, I’m sure. However, in our family we’ve decided to make a big deal out of this. Who better to share a birthday with? At this stage, she is loving it. And yes, she gets double presents and a birthday party with her friends earlier in the month so she can feel somewhat like every other kid. But the point, little girl, is this: The day you were born is also the day we celebrate the coming of Jesus, so we hope that your life will be a story of expectant longing for Jesus and his second coming. We love you baby! And we love you Jesus!
Here are some pics and videos from both the party (12/15) and from Christmas day.
On to Christmas Day…

I had a late December birthday and received many of those two-fer presents growing up. Glad you guys make Callie's so special.
