Our Christmas Eve morning was a cool and chilly one. All the roof tops had ice on them. I had tried going to the grocery store yesterday, did one loop around the parking lot, couldn't find any parking, and left. I told myself I would go in the morning, as soon as Kekoa got up...and we did. It was a special treat because daddy came with us too. We bundled Kekoa up and we were at Lunardi's by 7:30 a.m.! Our second stop was Trader Joe's. Kekoa was all bundled up in my new sling, facing out. Everyone stopped and admired our cutie pie baby...he got so many compliments. At Trader Joe's, they were giving away these beautiful Christmas wreathes. Scott immediately strung it up on our screen door. I love it...it makes our place even more Christmasy (is that a word?)
Rosy cheeks after a long nap!
Hi there everybody! I love grabbing soft, cuddly blankets!
For the rest of our Christmas Eve, Kekoa took a long nap, thank goodness. He has only been taking 30 minute power naps lately. Scott went to work :( When Kekoa woke up, I bundled him all up and we went out for a long walk. He was so excited to be outside.All bundled and ready to go on my walk mom!
For his 3rd nap of the day, he wouldn't fall asleep in the stroller, so I put him in the Ergo carrier. I love his face when he wakes up...he looks up at me with his sleepy eyes and rosy cheeks and gives me a big smile!
Doesn't he just melt your heart? He just woke up in the Ergo and couldn't stop staring at his mama!
Oh wait...now I see some trees to look at!
The family is coming over tomorrow for Christmas dinner. I am so proud of Scott, he is making the turkey. It is in the fridge, all ready to go. I am making cranberry sauce and a trying out a new stuffing recipe, Italian Chard stuffing...it looks so good and is all assembled and ready to bake tomorrow. (Thank you to our next door neighbors for letting us use their fridge and oven! I don't know where we would have put the turkey and stuffing!) Jenny and my dad are bringing dessert, berry pie and vanilla ice cream, and my dad is making his famous mashed potatoes.
I am so excited to be having Kekoa's first Christmas here...even though are apartment is small, it is cozy and is so nicely decorated. There are so many presents under our tree for our little baby. The Christmas spirit is definitely in the air here!
