It was an exciting day and Evan slept through dinner (which of course allowed us all to eat peacefully). He did however LOVE his Thanksgiving meal: turkey, sweet potatoes, stuffing (his body shakes from head to toe with this joy), and even some apple pie. It was a tiring day but we'll be happy again next year.
But the most exciting of the season was NOT when we put up our tree and stood back in awe of nice it looked and a lot bigger here than at the store. It was not the raking of the leaves we are still doing in December. It was not the "winter storm watch" that gave us only rain... it was having Evan and Emma visit Santa Clause.
Evan was very fascinated by the jolly happy man with A LOT of white hair. I was so nervous that Evan was going to "tug" on his beard. After all, he does love to pull mommy's hair. Emma even got to hand deliver her Christmas list to Santa and he was very impressed. The shopping of the holidays, the year end closing approaches (at work), and Evan is getting more mobile, yet self sufficient. He's officially off baby food and loves eating whatever we are eating. In fact, he insists on eating the same foods we do... With is 8 teeth, he eats, chicken, beef, steak, fish and even started on eating fresh apples.
We know that the holidays are definitely a busy time of year, but I'll try to keep more postings online... it'll help me remember what life was like with Evan's first REAL Christmas (it doesn't count when he's only 6wks old).
