Our first Christmas as a family of three... and here we sit at home, just the three of us! Since the whole state has been plagued with ice and snow, we decided it was best just to stay home. And while it's nice to have time at home together, it really feels strange not to feel the stress of traveling and getting in all of the family time.
We did have a few early Christmas celebrations. A few weeks ago, we went to Grandma Lori's and celebrated with her brothers and sisters. The boys (Rocky & Toby) just love Mila and they're always looking out for her.
On Sunday, we went to brunch with Aunt Jessie & Todd and then went to her place to open gifts. As you can imagine, she was spoiled! Among other things, she got her first pair of All Stars (shoes). They're a bit big, but she'll grow into them!
Earlier this summer, our friends graciously gave us their old swing and we set it up for Mila last week. She fell in love with it! However, as the week went on, it went slower and slower and... well, it died and new batteries didn't help one bit. Yesterday, Jens decided a new swing was just what Santa ordered.
Since Mila was born, Tweetie has been very good with her. Mostly, he checks her out and then walks away. Yesterday, they had a few "closer" moments. He hung out long enough for her to start grabbing towards him, then he was off!
