There are officially only 5 days left until Christmas and I still haven't finished shopping. I did complete the majority of my shopping, but I have one final trip to Best Buy to complete and then I should be done. Phil and I are really excited about Christmas this year, with it being Mariana's first Christmas and all. I can't wait to see her play with her toys. I'm not silly enough to think that she is going to really grasp the whole concept or anything, but it'll be fun nonetheless.
She got a letter from Santa Claus this year. It was really sweet and made me cry. I think I'm a total crybaby when it comes to my daughter, every milestone and monumental moment brings me to tears... and every little moment for that matter. Being a parent is probably one of the most rewarding things in the world. The only thing equals it is being a wife. It takes a lot sometimes to fully dedicate ourselves completely and totally to another, but when we can do so it is the most rewarding and wonderful ways to live. For the rest of my life I know that if I have Phil and Mariana, I'm happy and complete.
