Merry Christmas Eve - Gift of sleeping through the night






















Levi just slept through the night for the first time ever! Bless his little heart - it feels good to sleep for the entire night and that's why it's 5:30 and I am up and about. I'm not used to so much sleep all at once. He is still dozing away in his crib as I write this - so far he has slept 10.5 hours in a row! Earlier this week I came to the conclusion that sleeping next to me was keeping him awake, or wakeful. He wasn't sick or the waking was more often than 1.5 hours and so I have been more careful about moving him to his crib, and alas - he sleeps long and hard! He also is wearing a fuzzy cozy wearable blanket (have you seen those? I love those!) and that helps keep baby warm in the winter! We also turned the heat up 1 degree because Kaylee's bed has felt cold since she sleeps by the window - she never did wake up last night either! I am in heaven!

Tonight is Christmas Eve and we will go over to my parents for opening presents and for pizza. Tomorrow my Mom/Dad are hosting the larger family, more formal meal at noon. Can't wait! We just got news too that along with Eric's parents coming next week, so are Eric's sister and our neice & nephew and Eric's cousin, Denise with her son. We are so super super excited. It will be a houseful of family...very very fun for us all. Kaylee is going to have a ball playing with her cousins again! Just can't wait!!!

This is the first Christmas that Kaylee truly seems to understand Christmas. I can't wait to see her reactions to everything - the get-togethers, the presents, the songs, the cousins, and on and on....I'll post again after Christmas and again, after New Years (which is when the Smith even occurs!)

Everyone stay safe and Merry Christmas to all (and to all a good night). :) (I'm a dork for Christmas)
