First Christmas, New Years & Teeth!
If you look closely you can see the two teeth peaking through on the bottom.
I first have to say Nataly is a celeb because if you haven't noticed she has multiple outfit changes. Gotta start em young. Can you count how many outfits she had?
Well Christmas was full of craziness and lots of fun. We did so much this year. Everyone had to see Nataly on her first Christmas. Earlier in the week Eric's brother and family came up to visit from Tulsa. Aaron, Kari, Lilly and Kate stayed with us one day and we had a load of fun. Lilly got to play outside in the snow with Uncle Eric and we even went sledding. Lilly watched she wasn't ready to try the sled. Maybe the next visit she can try if there is snow on the ground. It was a blast. I sure love being a kid! Later in the week Eric's parents came up for the big festivities and spend time with Nataly before the rest of my family was over for Christmas Eve.
Christmas Eve was full of festivities. We made it to church before everyone came over. Nataly did fantastic. She was quite the sport. After church we got ready for everyone to come over. It was another year with a full house. There was lots of food, cocktails and presents for Nataly that is. We took pictures of Nataly in front of the tree with all the presents. She got a little overwhelmed and couldn't take all the attention, flashing of cameras and laugher. She just melted down. Plus she was tired. We tried to let Nataly stay up past her bed time; she made it about 1/2 hour. Not too bad. Hopefully next year she'll be able to make it longer to enjoy everyone over.
Christmas day was another day full of activities. We celebrated with Eric's family in the morning. Grandma Gladys was able to join us. We watched Lilly open all her gifts, her sisters gifts and some of Nataly's. It was lots of fun to see how excitied she got over anything. Especially panties!
In the afternoon we headed to my dad's for more food and gifts. We played the dice game once again but it got way out of control this time. There were so many gifts involved that the dice weren't even being rolled but everyone had doubles. How does that happen? It was nuts! After the festivities at my dad's we headed back home to enjoy the rest of the night with Eric's family. The next day we even made a trip out to the MOA to ride some rides with Lilly. I forget how much fun rides are. If I take some Dramamine I might be able to keep up with Lilly.
The week of Christmas we were surprised to find Nataly had not one but two teeth coming in. Yes two teeth! I couldn't believe it. She has been so droolie for so long we just didn't think of teeth anymore but yup two. Pretty exciting.
New Years we didn't do much and Nataly didn't stay up past her bedtime. We ended up doing fondue and my mom, sister and brother came over to enjoy all the food that Eric put together. We had a great time but no one stayed till Midnight. Eric and I made it but went to bed right after. We were beat.
