This is one of my favorite photos from the holidays. We had an early Christmas at my parents' house since our family went to Maine for two weeks. It really did feel like the real thing this year, despite having a tiny tree. Something about it being baby's first Christmas made the actual date less important than just being together as a family, watching Evelyn open all her presents while babbling and looking totally overwhelmed with the shiny piles of toys.
Here are a few more photos of our Christmas in Virginia
Our trip to Maine was quite eventful, to say the least. It was lovely to spend time with Dave's family. We finally met Dave's newest nephew, who is about 6 months old now. He is so precious. Evelyn and baby L played together a bit, but mostly just grabbed at each other and entertained the adults. Everyone was happy to see Evelyn and all the new things she was doing since our last visit.
A few photos of all of us on Christmas
As much as we wanted to have a relaxing, wonderful time in Maine, we ended up becoming sick and spreading this virus to almost every person we came in contact with. Of course we enjoyed spending time with the family lounging and taking things easy, but the sick part dominated the vacation and it was really hard to have that special time we were hoping for. There were days between the three of us being sick, but it was really just enough recovery time to spread it to the next person. At least on Christmas Day Dave was feeling much better and Evelyn was happy for most of the time :) She was showered with presents and there was little room for anyone to even walk through the living room. Dave's entire family was there and I could tell he was so happy to be home. I was happy to be sharing such a special day with his family. There's something so heartwarming about lots of happy family in a warm home with tons of yummy food. I am already looking forward to going back so we can enjoy the family without being sick.
