Busy Christmas Season!
So I know it has been awhile since I have posted, but we have been busy. Nate has experienced many firsts lately. We picked out our first Christmas tree. Chris thought I was being silly when I said I wanted to take the camera for tree shopping. I had to have pictures of his first tree experience. The experience didn't last long though. It was the day after Thanksgiving and it was slightly overcast so it was a quick trip. We walked on to the tree lot and amazingly Chris and I picked the same tree immediately! We paid and the event was over. Not to exciting! Nate is still my favorite shopping partner! We went with Nate's Nana and cousin Cole to the Pink Pig! I was so excited to go. When we got there we waited in line for tickets to ride and found out that Nate could not ride unless I had a sling for him....oh well, there is always next year. Cole and Nana got to ride and they had fun. I don't know if it is the fact that I was a kid and everything was so unbelievably cool to me, but the ride and whole experience now is not nearly as cool as when I was a kid. My mother-in-law said that the ride had pictures and explanation of the history of the Pink Pig. What 2-3 year old kid wants to see that?! When I went we got to see a magical winter wonderland. I guess times have changed and there must be a much smaller budget for it now. Nate has also experienced his first pictures with Santa. And guess how he reacted.....he slept through it all. Oh well there is always next year to catch a smile or what most kids do and cry! Nate has also experienced the joys of professional pictures...twice. My goodness that is stressful and cause you to sweat! Nate did great, I could not have asked for more. The first time we did pictures he slept through it. The second time the place was running behind and it got to be his time to eat. He did great for awhile and then couldn't wait any longer, he needed to eat and the crying began. By that time we were all done with pictures! Another lovely first for Nate was trying out the pull-out-couch with daddy. Chris has had some sinus thing and has caused him to seriously snore. Being the nice hubby he is, he slept in the living room for about a week so that Nate and I could rest without all the disturbance. Nate has also given up sleeping in the bassinet in our room. The big boy is in his crib in his own room. I think this might have been harder for me than him. He is just getting so big!
