Tis the Season...

Season's Greetings!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and got everything they wished for! I certainly did! All I wanted for Christmas was to have a wonderful and memorable first Christmas with Cady. And I got it :) Larry said recently that she won't remember her first Christmas, but he would, and he wanted it to be special.

I've been trying for years to get Larry to start some traditions with me at Christmas...to the point I think the trying part was getting to be the tradition! So this year he finally caved and started some with me.

On Christmas Eve-Eve, we made our first trip as a family to the Elks Lodge in Bedford to see the Christmas lights that they display every year. Then on Christmas Eve, we spent the afternoon with my dad and little sister, Ashleigh. After which we ran home and grabbed Madie and went over to my mom's house. Since there is so many people at Mama's on Christmas day and her new dog, Cody...aka Wild Child...and Madie play so "ruff" together that we decided to bring her over early to celebrate Christmas with Nanny and Papa. Mama and I cooked and talked and cooked some more. Once we got home, Cady got to open her one Christmas Eve gift (we always got to do this when I was a kid). She received some Christmas Pajama's! I read "The night before Christmas..." to her. She went to sleep before we got to spread the Reindeer Food over the lawn.

I had been looking forward to Christmas morning for months this year. Not for the gifts but because we got to stay at home this year!! Cady must've known it was a special day because she woke up at 7:30am and was ready to go! We opened presents from Santa and friends. It was really a wonderful time.

This is my sister in law, Tina. She loved on Cady and put her down for a nap. She is such a wonderful person and I'm so happy that she's apart of our family. Cady loves her too!

















And here's Sweet Baby Cady, out for the count. Christmas wore her out!


On a side note, a big Congratulations goes out to our friends, Laura & Matt Lane. They welcomed a son into the world this morning around 8am. Mason weighed in at 7lbs 7oz.
Welcome to mommyhood! It's the best place ever!


Happy New Year! Be Safe!
