We had a wonderful time for Christmas... I can't believe it's over already. We had a full holiday with Ben's family and extended family (Grandma, Aunt Theresa, Uncle Mike and Theresa's sister in from Pennsylvania). It is always so wonderful to spend time with family, especially during this holiday of celebrating the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.
Some highlights for me were:
- Being able to hand off my child and just take off, knowing she is being well cared for. I took FULL advantage of this and hit the town on more then one occasion. It was great.
- Having our feast on Christmas Eve and listening to Grampy read the Christmas Story from the Bible, while Isabella listened intently on his lap.
- Watching Bella open her first present... A baby doll she named "Happy". She was and still is obsessed with Happy.
- Spending quality time with family
- Spending a night up in Red Lodge... sans Bella (our first night away from her together... Ben cried!)
- Just joking on that last one... Ben didn't cry, neither of us cried or even came close.
- Getting to Shop in a mall and at decent stores
- Eating aunt Theresa and Ann's cooking. I thought for sure I would have gained a ton of weight... but at my 33 week apt on Monday, I had only gained 2.5 lbs since my last apt almost 3 weeks ago. Ben gained 5 over the holidays! lol
- Finally meeting Unky Dan's girlfriend, Frannie
- And more I'm sure... But there's a good list!
Here are some of my favorite photos... the rest I'll put in a slide show:
