Parenting after 35

All these "firsts"...

Her first Christmas Parade last night (which is a huge deal in this town). Picking out and decorating her first Christmas tree today. And, man, just her first Christmas all together. All these firsts right before her first birthday a month from now - it is too much. They need to invent a new word that means happy and sad together. Bittersweet isn't right.

She is napping. I can't wait until she gets up and sees the tree. She is gonig to love it! Maybe too much...

Oh, and, she was too much at the parade. She wasn't scared, even at the loudest fire trucks. She loved it all. The louder and crazier it was, the more she smiled. I'll have to post a picture later of her in her "I can't put my arms down" suit :)

  • We went to a parade last night as well! We don't live in the same town do we?

  • Amazingly Caroline isn't really interested in the tree. She checked it out at first and then went on her way. Of course it isn't decorated yet, so that may change once the tree is shiny.

  • OMG I SOOOOO hear all of this! That's why I'm glad I got all gifts for her back in July or whenever it was- and that I've been done planning her party for nearly a month now! It's complete overload (her bday is 4 days after Xmas) and I really hope it's not like this every year. Don't get me wrong, I haven't been this excited and warm and fuzzy over the holidays in a LONG LONG time but it's sooooo much- and SO FRIGGIN LIGHTENING FAST!
