Baby's First Christmas
Preston had a great first Christmas. We went to Memphis the weekend before Christmas and spent some time with Pop. Lee, Kristy and Lily came over and we had lasagna. We got Pop a steering wheel cover for the truck and a photo album. Lee and Kristy got him a book on how to rebuild John Deere tractors and some major wrenches to complete the work. Pop got us all some spending money and Lily and Preston got savings bonds. Good times.
On Monday we headed to Lexington. Tuesday morning we went to exit 143 and met Billy, Rachel and Hayden for lunch at the Log Cabin restaurant. It was good to see them and finally get to meet Ms. Hayden in person. Tuesday night we had Christmas with Mimi. Preston got a rocking horse (which Lee named Wildfire), a leather chair (pretty swanky), a toy guitar, toy crane, a moo-ing bowling ball set, PJs and lots of other goodies. Mimi made 4 derby pies (we made it easily through 3). Wednesday we headed to Jackson and hung out with Mamaw and Papaw before going to my grandparents for Christmas Eve. Mamaw Joyce made bisquits and country ham, Momma made cheese straws and sausage balls. Preston "opened" his gifts and was very cordial to all. We headed back to Lexington later that night.
Christmas day we went to Ma-ma Estelee's and had a yummy lunch. The next few days were more eating and sitting around. While at my parents he pulled up to standing for the first time. Saturday we went to Brek and Allison's and opened Preston's last gifts. Allison cooked an awesome dinner and banana pudding and momma brought another derby pie (can't get enough of that stuff). Preston got lots of clothes, toy trains, and nice set of reading books, flashcards and videos from momma and daddy which we've already started teaching him.
We made it back to STL by Sunday and we were all super worn out. It took Preston a few days to get back on a normal sleep schedule. I needed a vacation after my "vacation."
