Whirlwind Christmas

Christmas always seems to go by so quickly, and I have to admit that we are often left feeling like there should be another party to go to or something! hah! I'm sure we're not the only ones who feel this way - we just want Christmas to last longer! It is especially true now that Amelia really knows what's going on. She is still asking to go to another party, and she really got used to opening presents! With a birthday close to Christmas - she was in present heaven.

I took the tree down today and she was a BIG helper. She only got sad when I put the snowman and the Santa snow globes away - hmmm. Funny she never even noticed them for the entire month that they were up! She does LOVE Santa though. She has really enjoyed seeing all the Christmas blow-up decorations in our neighborhood (like I wrote about in the last post). It will be interesting to see her reaction once they are all put away :(

This Christmas was great! We celebrated with Andy's family the Sunday before and Amelia was a trooper! She played all day long and didn't get fussy even without a nap!

Wednesday, my mom, dad and sister came to stay with us. We had our own little Christmas - complete with pizza (really festive)! The next morning, was Christmas Eve and we headed over to celebrate with my mom's side of the family. Amelia had her swine flu booster shot a few days before - and, of course, the side effects hit her - and hit her HARD - that day. We had to cut our visit short. Amelia fell asleep in the car for the first time in over a year...so we knew we made the right choice by heading home. That's when it started to SNOW - so we were glad to be home for the rest of the night :)

Christmas morning Santa came! Amelia was so excited! We took video and I can't wait to watch it. Also - she was feeling MUCH better and we were able to go and party with my dad's side of the family! It was really fun and Amelia had a lot of fun playing with everyone.

Saturday night - even though we were tired - we drove out to another party that one of Andy's friends was having! It's no wonder Amelia thinks there's a party every day!!! haha

Here are a few pictures from the week :)
