Any child's firsts should be a happy time, but no doubt this year will be one of both great joy and sadness for this family.

Kristin Cavallari took to Instagram on Friday to mark her baby's first ever Christmas.

Wearing a pyjama onsie just like her daughter, Saylor, and holding her one-month-old in the air, the star captioned the snap, 'Saylor's first Christmas' with the hashtag '#ChristmasJammiesOnPoint'.

In the image, mother and daughter are the picture of Christmas happiness but, of course, the 28-year-old's joy comes with a lot of private pain.

As Kristin marks her youngest child's holiday milestone along with football husband Jay Cutler and sons Camden, 3, and Jaxon, 1, she is also marking her first Christmas without big brother Michael.

The 30-year-old was found dead in Utah on December 10, just over two weeks after he was reported missing.
