Well we survived the Christmas season....still lots of outfits to wash and toys to organize but the celebrating with family is officially complete. I have to say that the Christmas preparations are so much harder with a baby. It was so much tougher to shop for people.... the internet became my best friend! Finding time to wrap and cook was also a challenge.
I used to think that all the running around for the holidays was tiring.... but add in a baby and it's down right exhausting!! Having to constantly worry about his well being and making sure he was always fed and had a dry diaper all while trying to visit with friends and family is tough. Then worrying about him getting in enough naps so he wasn't cranky.... and dealing with when he was cranky was a full time job. Add in the fact that we are no longer able to sleep in and that makes for one tired Mommy & Daddy!
Overall though I think it was a great holiday season. We loved watching Nicholas actually being able to open his gifts. We figured he would just sit there while we did all the work but no way! He loved ripping the wrapping paper!! It was also great to watch him enjoy the Chrismtas tree and all the decorations. He's at the stage where he loves to feel all new textures and loved to touch the ornaments and garland on the stair railing.
All and all it was a wonderful Christmas holiday and I wouldn't trade it in for the world. Thanks to all of Nicholas' grandparents/aunts/uncles/cousins for such wonderful gifts. I'm so glad so many of you were able to help Nicholas celebrate his first Christmas.
And with that I am off to tear down the tree...... just kidding..... I'll atleast wait until tomorrow :) Merry Christmas to all!!
