Awww, I remember both of my boys first Christmases so vividly. Such happy memories.
We are past babies 1st Christmases but I do love and did love shopping at Babys R Us! I’m sure I will be back for a grand kid one day.
I wrote these dates down to share with my daughter. I am hoping that that she can attend the one next Saturday. Our babies were born last Wednesday at only 28 1/2 weeks and while it was very scary for awhile and they are still in the NICU. They are doing great and gaining weight. At 2 lbs a piece it will be a little while before they get to come home but I know it will be before Christmas and I am already planning a huge celebration!
Those pictures are adorable! Every “first” for a baby is such a milestone and so exciting!
Those pictures are absolutely adorable! I remember my son’s first Christmas. He was only 3 months but I did a Reindeer footprint ornament. Totally cute.
All of the photos are just so adorable. We only have 1 baby having their first Christmas in my family this year. My cousin just became a grandma!
That is so cute. I’m not surprised Toys R Us thought of something like this. They are THE store for kiddos, after all.
How fun! They grow up so fast. Enjoy!
Loving the photos of the kids I remember Bella’s first Christmas she’s 7 now there’s just something so beautiful about seeing a child experience Christmas when they are little they dont have to deal with any of the holiday stress.
I love that they’re doing this. What a wonderful way to celebrate baby’s special first!
These are great ideas. I always love to give baby toys to toys for tots since they’re often overlooked.
My kids are adults and right now we do not have any family members with little ones that age. I do remember celebrating my kid’s first Christmases and how fun and exciting it was. I still have the ornaments from those years and hang them every year.
Wow, I love all of these things! There’s nothing quite like seeing Christmas through the eyes of a little one!
My babies are 10 and 15, so we’ll miss the event, but my niece is celebrating her baby’s first Christmas this year. I’ll be sure to pass the details on to her!
My babies are well past their first Christmas but I can still guarantee we will make it to Babies R Us this holiday season. I love it there!
Ill be celebrating my little ones 8th Christmas….LOL but I every year its something new to experience.
A babies first Christmas is very important and it’s something as parents that we must make special!
How sweet. I remember my son’s first Christmas! Gosh can’t believe this will be his 11th!
I love how they are making baby’s first Christmas a big event as it should be. It is more than just an ornament on a tree it is a milestone.
Wow, Love those amazing pictures. I would definitely suggest your ideas for someone who is going to celebrate their baby’s first Christmas. Pure Fun 🙂
My friend will be celebrating her babies first Christmas this year. We will have to go to Babies R Us to check out all the great items.
A first Christmas is something to truly celebrate. These are some great ideas.
Oh my goodness all of that cute baby goodness up there. 🙂 We just had a baby in the family have her first Christmas last year (my granddaughter) and it was awesome. 🙂
