Maddie’s First Christmas

We decided to keep Maddie’s first Christmas low key, so we only had Peggy and Lauren over. Vicky made a ham, and Peggy and Lauren were nice enough to make the side dishes and bring dessert.

Peg and Lauren bought Maddie some adorable keepsakes…a pewter rattle with her initials and birth date engraved, and a pewter cup with her name and birth date. They will go in the nursery as soon as we have shelves up.

Maddie slept through most of her first Christmas, but she did have a cute Christmas outfit on!







Vicky’s mom and sisters came over for Christmas a week later. Vicky’s youngest sister Jessica is 7 years old and was so excited to meet her niece. She went to “Build a Bear” and made Maddie a teddy bear. She helped Matt change her diaper and wouldn’t leave her side for a second. Unfortunately, Maddie was very fussy this day, and cried most of the afternoon and evening. (Reflux reared its ugly head).
