Lucy's first Christmas was very special. It was our first Christmas in Portland and in our new home and although we missed the rest of our family, it felt good to be here in Portland in our home with our new baby girl! We were even more excited and surprised that Lucy's first Christmas was a white one! We had quite a bit of snow (for Portland, OR) on Christmas day...it reminded us a little bit of Christmas in Connecticut. We enjoyed spending Christmas day at Chris' aunt & uncle's house here in Portland...one of the pictures above is of a hungry squirrel on their back deck eating out of the feeder in the snow! We spent several hours over at Ken & Helen's house and Lucy did wonderfully...slept most of the day, ate pretty well and wasn't at all fussy. It made for a great day. And, she looked super cute in her Christmas dress!
Mom & Dad did realize though how tired they were later that day after not getting much rest the past two days because of everything going on with the holidays...we definitely need naptime!
Chris is back to work today, hopefully he's not too tired. He's been helping so so much with Lucy, staying up late with her so Mom can catch some z's.
Lucy also wanted to thank friends & family for the sweet & thoughtful Christmas gifts...she received many new clothes, some nice keepsake gifts and some money to invest in her college fund. Thanks so much! Daisy also was spoiled this Christmas with peanut butter treats and rawhide bones...not to mention all the treats (ham, cheese, etc.) that she received on Christmas day over at Ken & Helen's house!
Today is supposed to be another snowy day here in Portland. Mom & Lucy are just going to snuggle up and rest today. We miss everyone, hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!
Oh...and be on the look-out for Lucy's birth announcements...they're going out in the mail later today.
