How Was Your First Christmas With A Baby?: Part 2
Opening her bear from Uncle Kevin
If you missed Part 1, read it here.
The next morning we went to my parents for breakfast and gifts. That was fun! I packed her breakfast so she could eat with us and grandma made her an egg yolk which she loved! We then continued onto her other set of grandparents. The big mistake came when we didn’t stop home first for her to take her morning nap I think.
We opened gifts, ate lunch, and then all hell broke loose. She pretty much screamed from the time lunch was over until we drove home. There were some short breaks in between, but for the most part I was very busy. She’s getting her first tooth and I’m almost certain that with that and the lack of nap she was not feeling very well.
Addison and I with Grandpa Schulman
Overall, this Christmas went good. Christmas eve went smoother than Christmas day for sure. I definitely learned alot and will plan better the next holiday we attend up here. However, I have decided to give my grandma a break next year. I would have done Christmas the last two years for her, but we live so far. After this year though, she said she’s coming down to take a year off. I’m thrilled! And what’s even better? Next year Addison will actually know what Christmas is!
I hope your holiday was wonderful! How did it go with it being your first year as a parent? What advice would you give to other moms?
