The holiday season is endlessly busy without a baby, but with one it ever more busy...and fun. This year I did my shopping almost entirely on the internet. Amazon.com was my best friend. But even with that savior I still had to trek out into the chaos that is store-land at Christmas time. The little guy was a trooper. He is such a good baby. He went all around from IKEA to Costco to Kohls. It wasn't easy but we made it.
The highlights of this Christmas for us aside from the usual family time and the obvious fact that we now have a kiddo to share it all with is that Xanders Aunt Mim and her kiddos came up for Christmas from Arizona! Wahoo! It is always great to see them. We even had a more brief, but just as nice visit from Uncle Kev. We also had some nice houseguests- Xander's Nonnie and Poppie, as well as their foreign exchange student Valeria. It is always so nice to have family around to share the season together. The more the merrier!
It was a successful year for all - Xander got stackable rings, a bunch of clothes, a boon (squeezable spoon) for eating, a remote helicopter (to watch), books, some stuffed animals, and more.
It was fun and merry...just as it should be.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
So cute. I miss the holidays with my family. It's hard going back to work after all of that great time with them.
