In the meantime, I'll just say we had a very nice Christmas. It was really busy and not relaxing, but it was fun. Hannah and I have both been battling colds since Christmas but she did pretty well despite not feeling well.
We spent Christmas Eve day at my mom's. My brother and Brittany came over and Hannah got to meet her cousin Harlan for the first time. It's so crazy to think she was ever that little. She liked him, but she really liked his paci and pulled it out of his mouth and stuck it in her's. It was hilarious!!!
It was a white and icy Christmas in Lubbock, but my aunt Carla and uncle Jay still managed to fly in safely from Dallas to join the fun. Hannah was a hit of course and ate Christmas lunch with us at the table. We hung out, ate, had dessert, and opened presents then it was time to leave. Time flies when your having fun and trying to take care of an active baby.
We left my mom's, went home and regrouped, and were off to our next Christmas at my dad's. He had decorated his house this year so even though I knew we would have a grouchy baby on our hands come 5 o'clock, we kept moving. We hung out at his house til about 6:30pm and got to spend more time with my brother and his crew. I was really nice.
Christmas morning we got up as usual and had sweet potato pancakes. Hannah was a little snot-faced and tired but she "opened" (played with the paper) her presents. I think she liked Christmas.
We then were off to church. Miss Priss looked pretty cute in her big red bow.
That afternoon we headed over to Britt's parents house for about an hour. Hannah was tired and there were about 30 people over there so we didn't stay long. We did managed to get some family photos though.
We left the Hill's and headed over to Brandon's brother's house for a bit before heading home and passing out from exhaustion.
We then did it all over again the next night with Brandon's family in Shallowater at his dad's. Hannah was running a fever that night and not in a good mood. Poor baby. Turns out she had an ear infection.

Overall it was a very busy but very fun first Christmas with our sweet baby. Next year will be even better. Excited to see what the new year will hold for our family. Bring on 2012!!!
