Her First Christmas


In the last 5 weeks since my last post, Amelia has celebrated her first Christmas and her first New Year. Tomorrow she turns 12 weeks old! Where has the time gone?

Christmas 2009 was quite busy as it is usually for us. On Christmas Eve Eve we went to Louisville to see Lee's mom and visit the Mega Cavern. It is a huge cavern under the Louisville Zoo that has lights set up, and you can drive through it.

On Christmas Eve we went to my mom and dad's to celebrate the holiday with the Lee side of the family. Amelia was very tired of traveling by that point, so she didn't have the best of nights. But she was loved on nonetheless.

On Christmas Day, Lee and I hosted his family for Christmas. Taylor, Lee's mom, Lee's grandma, and Lee's dad joined us. Amelia did much better; however, she slept through opening her presents. Isn't she just adorable :-).

The day after Christmas we spent with Lee's dad, his other grandma, and Lee's aunt and uncle. We were exhausted after all of the family time and travel time, but it was great to see everyone.

New Year's Eve passed without a bang. We hung out at home, and Amelia went to bed 45 minutes too early to enjoy the switchover to 2010. Oh well, she'll have many more New Year's Eves to celebrate and enjoy.

Next week I return to work only part-time at first and then full-time in the following weeks. It will be nice to ease back into work, but it will certainly be hard not to be with her each day. After 12 weeks with her, it will certainly be a change.
