We celebrated Christmas Eve with Ben's side of the family and Christmas Day with mine. Alivia had a fun 1st Christmas! She was a little overwhelmed on Christmas Eve since there were a lot of people present. She stayed up late both nights and it caught up on her but overall she did a great job dealing with all the food, presents, family members, and noise. Alivia got some great gifts and we had a fun time celebrating. Since we don't want Christmas to become all about gifts in the future and we have a big family, we started a tradition where we will give her 3 gifts on Christmas; one want, one need, and on surprise. This year her gifts were-
Her want gift: books Her need gift: diapers/socks Her surprise gift: (real) puppy dog
In the future we won't get such a big surprise gift, but this year we decided to get a dog for a family gift. Or, rather Ben decided to surprise Alivia and me on Christmas morning with a cute little yorki-poo. She is a fun little dog, lots of work, but fun! Alivia really likes her and whenever she sees or hears Kloee (dog's name) she starts to bark... :)
