Monday the 20th Tyler, Lucy and I celebrated Christmas together just as our little family since our actually christmas eve and christmas day were supposed to be so hectic. Lucy was adorable and slept through pretty much all of it. (We're lucky we did it early since she ended up in the hospital the very next day.) The pictures from this christmas are on my video camera at home- my camera has been acting very flaky lately and wasn't working very well but here's a couple ones that I do have:

| The tree and presents |

| Lucy sat in her swing while we opened and showed her her presents! |
The next two days we were in the hospital....
Christmas Eve once we got home from the hospital my parents, brother and his girlfriend came by to visit. Caleb, my brother had not seen Lucy yet- here's a picture of their meeting:
After they left we loaded up the car and dropped off all our stuff at Tyler's parents where we were spending the night. Then we went to his Uncle Tim's for the Metzger family Christmas. We ate dinner then headed out to church for the candle light christmas eve service. Here's Lucy in her car seat all ready to go to church:

Then Christmas day- we started the day off at Tyler's parents since we stayed there. Here's Lucy with her gifts from her grandparents, aunt and uncle:

The next day after church my parents, brother, his girlfriend, and grandparents came to our house for dinner. We did the Larson family christmas. Lucy got her gifts from my parents and slept through it all again!
All in all it was a pretty great Christmas, I loved celebrating Lucy's first Christmas and am excited to see how she will be next year when she'll have a better idea of what's going on!
New Years:
It was the day of broken plans! We made plans to go with Tyler's parents, his Uncle Tim's family- that was the only part that happened as planned! We went to effingham a bit early to do some shopping and EVERYWHERE except Walmart was closed so we bummed around walmart until our dinner reservations. We showed up at 7:25 for our 7:30 reservation to find out they had given our table away...cue the 30min wait. We finally got dinner and then headed to the bowling alley- which is tradition...we all walked in and were told that they were completely reserved until 12:30 in the morning. So we decided to go back to Vandalia, rent a movie and watch it at Tim's. We got the movie and tried to start watching it and apparently it was super scratched and wouldn't play worth a darn so we watched Grown-Up's which someone had gotten for christmas- super funny by the way! Then finally around 1:30 we got home and went to bed...we're pretty pathetic when it comes to staying up late these days! And if you're curious about how Lucy did staying up late: once we got to Tim's she ate and then sacked out for the rest of the night!
