We've had a busy couple of days! I've been working a ton of hours! This last pay check I had 14 hours of overtime! Throw in there a trip down to St. George for Dad to test for an agency and December has flown by. Thus we haven't had any time to do our usual traditions! :( I've hated it and has really made me a little grumpy. So on the 23rd we finally got around to going to temple square to see the lights. I was so excited. Bently is obsessed with the lights and so am I. I couldn't wait to go. Finally around 7:30 we loaded up in the car and headed out. We decided to go to Arctic Circle and get some food first. Little did I know nothing was going to go according to plan. Coming around a bend Dad looked out his window just as the girl in front of us slammed on her breaks. And just like that our plans for the night were over. It wasn't a huge accident but it sure did cause some damage. You only cried for a minute and then you were fine. We did end up going to Arctic Circle but by then it was too late to see lights. I was disappointed but what can you do.
Christmas Eve was pretty overwhelming for you. Really for me too! We spent the night with Dad's family and boy are they loud! All 16 something Grandchildren and boy was it loud and active. You got extremely over stimulated. You already cling to us pretty hard core and being so outside of your element just made it worse. Everyone wanted to hold you, especially since it was some of Greg's family first time meeting you. But you weren't going to have it. Whenever anyone else was holding you, you would cry and scream. I felt so bad. I knew you were tired but wouldn't sleep. We did manage two little cat naps through out the evening but that was it. You didn't play baby Jesus but we did put you in the manager for pictures. You were adorable! Though you were screaming the whole time. You were in a Mrs. Clause suit and it totally gave me flashbacks of Bently. He was in a Santa suit when he played Jesus. It was adorable!
Christmas was pretty fun. You didn't get too much based on the fact you are 5 months old and really don't need anything. I loved holding you and snuggling you all Christmas Day! I marveled at how cute you are! I couldn't believe it was your very first Christmas. I felt like the luckiest Mom in the world that's for sure! You make me so incredibly happy my beautiful little girl! You are mostly happy and your smile is cute it makes me laugh every time I see it!
Merry first Christmas my little Livvy! I cannot wait for the Christmas to come! :)
Love you more than you'll ever know!
Mom
