Talk about being busy! Tommy and I both worked retail during the holiday season. Can you say crazy? Say it again. That's how it goes from black Friday until New Years...lots of people, and not happy people who are enjoying the holiday season...mean and impatient folks who really need to take a chill pill. Anyone who has worked retail before understands. On top of working the craziest time of the year, we were juggling finals, moving into a new apartment, and taking care of our lovely baby girl.
We all enjoyed our trip to Southern California in November to see Lindsey and Miguel's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and we are so happy for the beautiful couple! We had a great time visiting with family and friends, including Tommy's cousin Sam from Virginia, his grand parents, aunts, uncles, sisters Ali and Leah, nieces and nephew, and of course TJ and Theresa, Tommy's parents. The flight was easier than expected, Bridget didn't even cry! She slept most of the time and was pretty content with the trip. I felt bad for the other babies on the plane whose parents were pretty cranky because their ears hurt and they were crying :( poor kiddos. Tommy also took me to a great mexican food place called "Albertacos" in Mission Viejo. Mmmm..mmm...I love me some California burritos. Our trips to California are always fun! This trip was a trip we won't forget.
Thanksgiving was right around the corner. We spent Thanksgiving with Ali here in Boise and enjoyed a relaxing weekend. We black Friday shopped a bit (not on purpose, it just kind of happened) and enjoyed a yummy dinner at my Mom's. I love that we are starting our own family traditions. It really makes the holiday season feel special.
Christmas came next...and boy was this a fun one! My parents are divorced, so I still enjoy celebrating two Christmases with my sisters at my Dad's, and another at my Mom's. This time we even had our own little Christmas celebration for Bridget and then we had the opportunity to webcam chat with TJ, Theresa, Ali, and G&G Nance to open all of our presents. Bridget wasn't really into the "Christmas" adventure this year, she doesn't quite understand it yet. Next year will be a lot better! She did make out pretty good. She absolutely loves all over her gifts. She loves to play with all of her toys. Mommy appreciates all of the cute clothes :) hehe.
New Years was filled with a dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, shopping at the Mall with Grandma Tonya and Chloe, getting Bridget's ears pierced.
