First Christmas X 4

1st Christmas - Our family awoke early on the morning of the 23rd to open gifts at our house before making our Christmas road trip. We wanted to start our own little family tradition. Eva gave Dad a new hat complete with ears...just like hers!

4th Christmas (the pictures got a little scrambled) - We celebrated the holiday with the Hollingsworths on Christmas day. Here Eva poses with Grandma and aunt Laura. 3rd Christmas- Christmas Eve was spent at the Weier's. We attended an early church service, ate Grandpa Ron's homemade chicken soup, opened gifts, and played board games. Here is a 3 generation picture: Janis Kay, Lindsay Kay, and Eva Kay.
2nd Christmas - Grandma and Grandpa Weier hosted the Butler family Christmas at their house. To add a little spice, we made it an "Ugly Sweater" night. Here we are sporting our lovely clothes. Even Eva took part in the fun.
And that is the story of Eva's first Christmas x 4.

First solids! (Kind of)

Eva had her first meal tonight...rice cereal soaked in breast milk. Yum! Mom and Dad both shared in the fun of feeding her. She didn't seem to mind the food, but she didn't show signs of loving it either.

5 months old!

December 17 marked Eva's 5th month of life. Her day was filled with highs and lows. First, she joined us for an omelette breakfast (made by dad). Then, she helped dad read the paper! The weather continued to unseasonably warm so we all went for a long walk in the afternoon.That evening, she got to stay with Jade and Hillary while mom and dad went to see The Nutcracker. A night with two teenagers...sounds fun doesn't it? Not for Eva, she cried the whole time and mom and dad came home early. We felt sorrier for the girls than the baby, who was smiling and laughing as soon as we got home.
