(okay I lied about having the girls first Christmas up we had the snow storm I had to shovel out, and I couldn't work on it as much I would like so I hope you like the chapter)
Samantha's and Annabelle's 1st Christmas
The night before Christmas Artie had the girls put out cookies and milk for Santa, and read them the night before Christmas before tucking them into bed. After he had them tucked into bed he went into the spare bedroom that was going to be Willow's when her and her sister move in next week to get the presents that he was going to put under the tree for Sammy and Anna.
"Okay Anna your pile is going to be under the tree" he says to himself as he sets her presents under the tree
"Sammy you are going to be right by your sister" he says setting her presents right by Annabelle's
After he set the girl's presents out he went to bed himself to get some sleep
(Christmas morning)
"Daddy daddy wake up its Christmas" Sammy says bouncing on her daddy's bed
"Okay okay I'm up" he says reaching for his glasses and his wheelchair
"Guess who else is up daddy" Sammy says going to Anna's room
'Who" he says
"Anna daddy" she coming back into her daddy's room trying to carry Anna
"Merry Christmas baby girl" he says kissing her
"I think someone needs a diaper change, so sweetie can you go into the kitchen and wait for daddy please" he says to Sammy who gets off the bed and goes to the kitchen to wait for him to come into the kitchen after he has changed Anna
"You little missy are getting a diaper change" he says transferring to his chair and then going to her room to change her
Once he had changed Anna he took her into the kitchen where Sammy sat in her chair and colored a picture while waiting for him to give her breakfast
"Sammy do you want daddy to make you his special Christmas pancakes" he asks her
"Yeah" she says try to contain her excitement
"You Anna are going to have oatmeal with red and green sprinkles mixed in" he says as he starts making the girls their breakfast
After breakfast he changes the girls into their Christmas dresses he got for them. He did Sammy's hair up in a ponytail, and Anna had her baby hairband on since her hair isn't long enough yet.
"Okay Sammy since you're the oldest you can open your gifts from Santa" he says coming back into the family room with Anna, and setting up the video camera
"Thanks you daddy" she says as she starts going to town on her gifts
"What did you open first" he asks her when she opened the first gift
"A doll" she says showing him the doll that she got
"I think you got some items to take care of your doll" he says as she opens up a few more presents
She got a stroller, a doll highchair, and some other items to take care of her doll
"You still got some more presents to open sweetie" he says as Sammy continues to open
Artie gave her some blocks, some developmental toys, more clothes, more coloring books and crayons to go with the coloring books, and he even got her coloring value pack that had stamps, special crayons for her and a little on the go art table, and a little chair to sit in when she watches cartoons.
"You got one more gift and it is in the kitchen" he says as she heads to the kitchen to see your last gift
"Merry Christmas sweetie do you like it" he asks her when she sees the gift
'Yes daddy I love it" she hugs trying to give him a hug
It's a picnic table so you eat your breakfast, lunch, and dinner at a special table just for you" he says
"Can I eat my lunch here today" she asks
"Sure now baby girl it's your turn" he says to Annabelle as he takes her back into the family room to open her presents
Sammy sits on her chair while her sister unwraps her presents
"Here we go baby girl daddy is going to sit on the floor with you while you open your presents" Artie says as he sits Annabelle on the floor, and locks the brakes on his wheelchair and gets on the floor with her
"You want to open a present sweet girl" he says as he hands her a present to open
She just sits there not know what to do
"Anna watch me" Sammy says as she gets off her chair and helps Anna open her present
"Sammy you are a good big sister Artie says giving her a kiss as she helps her little sister open her presents
Once Anna saw Sammy open a present she decided she wanted to try it and she open her presents slowly but surely
Anna also got some developmental toys, the coupe roller/walker, some regular toys, some pajamas, her first pair of shoes, some clothes, a coat, a pair of slippers.
"Do you want daddy to put on your slippers for you so you don't get cold toes" he asks the little girl
"Ya ya" she says
"Okay Sammy do you want daddy to put your slippers on as well" he asks her as he puts Annabelle's on
"Yes daddy" she says as she goes gets her slippers
Artie puts on both of the girls slippers, and Sammy gives her daddy her gifts
"Merry Christmas daddy" she says handing him the presents
"Oh sweetie you didn't have to get me anything" he says opening the presents that she handed him
"I wanted to cause I love you daddy" she says giving him a hug
'Oh I love you and your sister so much" he says as he continues to open the first present
"Do you love it daddy" she asks when he has fully open the first present
"I love it so much" he says giving her a hug
He got a mug that she colored at Color me mine when Kurt watched the girls, and he also got a shirt that had Sammy's and Anna's handprints on it, and best daddy in the world shirt.
"After he has change Anna he fed the girls some lunch, and after lunch they went down for their nap. Once he had Anna down the phone rang
"Hello Abrams house Artie speaking" he says when he picks up the phone
"Hey honey I was just calling to wish you and the girls merry Christmas" his mom says from the other end
"Merry Christmas to you guys as well" he tells her
"I was calling to see when you and the girls were coming over to celebrate Christmas" she asks him
"Right now mom the girls are down for their naps, so I don't know when we are coming over" he tells her
"Oh cause your father and I will be leaving in a few minutes to go visit your grandparent for Christmas" she says
"You can drop the girl's presents off on the way, and you can drop what they give the girls off on the way back" he says
"Sounds like a plan Artie plus we are dropping off the van as well that has the girls presents in" she says
"Bye mom" he says hanging up the phone
Twenty minutes later his parents come to drop off the van and the girl's presents, and Artie brings their presents in and puts them by their pile, so they can open them up after they have woken up from their naps. Artie takes this opportunity to set up the camera to take the girls first Christmas picture. After ten minutes Anna woke up.
"What's wrong baby girl did something wake you up huh" he asks her trying to soothe her cries
Her cries started to calm while he was calming her down
"Don't worry daddy's has you" he says making his way to the family room so he doesn't wake Sammy
"Do you want to try to open your presents from grandmamma and grandpappa" he asks her
She doesn't seem interested in opening anymore presents all she wanted was to be held by her daddy
"It's okay we'll open the rest later" he says making his way over to the couch to lay down with her on top of him
"You wanna lay with daddy while he takes a nap" he asks her while he transfers to the couch
"How about I cover us up so we don't get cold" he says grabbing a blanket to cover them up
Once he has them covered up he begins to rub her back to calm her down, and slowly it works her eyes begin to close, and she is asleep within minutes, so Artie takes this opportunity to take a nap as well
(Two hours later)
Sammy is the first one to wake up from her nap, so she tip toes out of her room and into the playroom to play quietly until Anna wakes up from her nap. Artie wakes up as well, and since Anna is still sleeping he gets up transfers back to his chair, and lays Anna in the playpen to nap while he checks on Sammy
"Sweetie your grandparents left you some more presents to open do you want to open them now" he says whispering into the playroom
"Coming daddy" she says getting up and going into the family room to open more presents
Marigold and Drew gave her a dresser and some dress up clothes and a tea set.
Anna wakes up thirty minutes later
"Hey baby girl did you have a nice nap, and do you want to open the presents from your grandparents" he asks her
He takes Anna into the family room to open her presents that she got, and she got toys and clothes from her grandparents. After the girls have opened he took a picture of them in front of the tree.
"Okay girls that was really lovely now daddy is going to get in the picture now" he says setting the timer on the camera
He picks up Anna and holds her, and Sammy stands right besides her daddy's right wheel for the picture
'Okay girls say cheese" he says before the camera goes off
"Cheese" Sammy says as the camera takes the picture
"Okay let's see how that picture came out" he says rolling over to where the camera was
"I think this one's a keeper" he says putting the picture on the board in the kitchen
"Daddy I hungry" Sammy says
"Okay I'll feed you some supper and after supper we can open more presents from your great grandparents how does that sound" he asks her
"Good" she says going into the kitchen and sitting at her picnic table while he makes the girls and him some supper
"Sammy sweetie I'm going to put your bib over you so you don't get any pasta sauce all over your nice dress" he says putting one of her bibs over her pretty dress
"Okay" she says with a sigh
"What's wrong pumpkin" he asks her
"I didn't one of my wishes this year for Christmas" she says getting onto his lap
"What was one of your wishes" he asks her
"To have you walk again" she says with her bottom lip quivering
"Pumpkin I'm fine look at me I have been like this for nine years, and someday I hope I can walk again" he says hugging her
"You do" she says with a sniffle
I do" he says hugging her one last time
Artie made himself and Sammy a pasta dish for Christmas dinner, and for Anna she has a type of strained vegetable. After dinner Artie's parents stopped by to drop off the gifts that the girls great grandparents, and his grandparents got them for Christmas
"merry Christmas Sammy" Marigold says coming into the house with some more presents for the girls
"Merry Christmas grandmamma" Sammy says
"Where's Willow and Brianna mom cause I want to show them their room" Artie says cleaning off Anna's high chair
"Your father took them home cause both girls started to get sick during dinner" his mom says setting the girls presents down in the family room
"Oh great" Artie says with a sigh
"don't worry your father's and mine workplace day cares have shut down to see if its coming from there" his mother says coming back into the kitchen for a cup of tea
"Thanks for telling me mom cause I hate to have Sammy and Anna get it back" he says giving her the hot cup of tea he just made for her
"Will it be okay if I stick around to see the girls open their presents" she asks him
"Sure mom I'm pretty sure Sammy would love to show you what she got for Christmas so far" he says as Sammy gets up from her picnic table to show her grandmamma what she got
"Come grandmamma and see what Santa brought me" she says walking into the family room to show her grandmamma her gifts
"Holy cow son you really loaded her down her first Christmas" his mother says from the family room
"Yeah I wanted to make up for her first Christmas she had with her mother who never gave her anything" he says taking Anna out of the high chair
"Did Anna get the same amount as Sammy" she asks
"Yeah mom I did I made sure their piles were the same" he says on the way to Anna's room to change her
"Do you like the gifts Sammy" Marigold asks the little girl
"Yes grandmamma tea party" Sammy asks her
"Sure I would love to have a bit of a tea party with you" Marigold says as Sammy opens her tea set
Sammy and her grandmamma have a tea party until her daddy comes back with Anna, and the both of them open their presents from their great grandparents which were custom made dresses that the girls can wear for the upcoming Regional competition
"How did she know their sizes" he asks surprisingly
"Let's just say I took over one of their outfits and took their measurements that way" she says
"This is the best gift I could ever ask for the girls having matching dresses for the competition" he says
Soon Marigold goes home and Artie gives both girls their baths, and reads them a story and sings them a lullaby, and then tucks them in.
"Night baby girl daddy loves you" he says giving her a kiss and tucking her in and closing the doors on Anna's crib
"Night Anna" Sammy says as she goes to her bedroom to go to bed
"Okay Sammy your turn" He says pulling down the covers on her bed and she gets into bed
"Pumpkin did you have a good first Christmas" he asks her when he tucks her in for the night
'Yeah daddy" she says once she had been tucked in
"Night pumpkin sweet dream" he says kissing her on her forehead
"Night daddy I love you" she says closing her pretty eyes
"Night sweetie I love you too" he says closing the door to her room and leaving it open just a crack to leave some light in her room.
