Christmas...

Madison had a GREAT first Christmas. Every Christmas eve we go to my in-laws. That is when they celebrate with their big dinner! Since they are Italian, they make a huge amount of seafood, including lobster tales, mussels, scallops, and shrimp. Of course, since I don't eat seafood...I usually eat pasta or something else. This year, they made so much food, it was crazy! Here are a few pictures from that night. She had a blast until she pasted out around 9:30. But she enjoyed all her new presents that she saw! Especially here new"ride" from cousin Sophia. Also, her first Christmas was the first White Christmas in Atlanta since 1882, which makes it so much mroe memorable! It is too cold her to be out, but we did go out for a few minutes last night while it was actually snowing and she LOVED it. Hopefully she will see more snow in her lifetime, becuase if she is anything like me, she will LOVE it!

This is her on her new "ride". She loved it and knew exactly where to put her hands and what buttons to push to make noise. Thanks again cousin Sophia! I cannot believe that she really is almost big enough to play with that...she is getting way too big for momma! On another note...Madison is now crawling! She started on her 8 month birthday, but has slowly picked it up. She is also cutting one of her top teeth, which has made her not very happy.

We have had a great 8 months with her, and cannot believe that she is getting so big! We look forward to so many more wonderful Christmas's with her! Now it is time to start planning her first birthday, I cannot believe it!
