We all went to pick out Winter’s first Christmas tree. She snoozed through it all snuggled in the sling. She also napped through most of the setup and decoration process. Special thanks to Leigh for his help putting up the tree!
Saturday night we all went out to dinner. Winter snoozed through the meal in her car seat.
Towards the end of dinner, it started to snow. The first proper flakes hit Winter’s cheeks on the way back to the car. And… she snoozed through it all.
Notice a theme?
To be fair, she spent Saturday as the center of attention with a visit from a friend and the first meeting of one of her grandfathers. As Tenny will attest to, being the center of attention is hard work and very tiring!
Holiday cards went out (if I don’t have your address and you want a card, you should send me your address) but I’m not doing my usual serious holiday baking this year. I kind of miss the enormity of it (and the enormous pile of caramel corn) but I can’t imagine getting it done this year. Or possibly next. I will be making pies, chex mix and a few cookies, but nothing on the scale of what I usually do. Maybe I’ll ease back into it slowly next year.
There have been some unexpected joys of becoming a parent and/or having a baby… one of them is that, when I decide it’s ok to fall asleep, I’m asleep in moments usually. The on-going and increasing sleep deprived state aside, this is pretty nice.
