My baby brother Aidan is 1 month old already! Can you believe it?! It's been a very fast month because we've kept pretty busy. Between Liam and I going to school, church activities, my dance class, swimming lessons, and all the other things going on in our lives, little Aidan has been carted along with our family to all kinds of places already. He's a trooper!

We are all so happy that Aidan is here and can't wait to see him grow and see what he learns in the next month!
Last week, Mommy went to the hospital because my new baby brother Aidan was ready to come out! He was a few weeks early, but he was ready! Mommy got sick on Monday night and Tuesday, and then had to go the hospital on Tuesday night because baby Aidan was getting ready to come, but then she and Daddy came home on Wednesday because he started to change his mind. Then after Liam and I went to bed on Wednesday night, he must have changed his mind again, because Mommy and Daddy went back to the hospital and he was born that night!

Meeting Daddy
When Liam and I woke up on Thursday morning, Papa was at our house because Mommy and Daddy had gone to the hospital (for the second night in a row!). Aunt Hilary came over to stay with us because Papa had to go to work, and then finally later that morning Daddy came and brought us to the hospital to meet baby Aidan.

Isn't he so cute?!
Here we are hanging out as a family of 5 for the first time:
Lots of other friends and family came to visit and meet Aidan while he was in the hospital with Mommy, too.

On Friday afternoon, Mommy and Aidan finally got to come home. After 3 nights sleeping in a hospital, Mommy was ready for her own bed! So far we are loving having Aidan, "the little man," home with us. He is sweet and quiet most of the time! He sleeps a lot and loves to cuddle or just hang out on the couch with us. The only thing he doesn't like is changing his diaper. Sometimes that makes him pretty mad!

I'm such a proud big sister!
Liam is very sweet with Aidan and likes to hold him sometimes and kiss him, too!
Hi everyone! I hope all of you had as wonderful of a time celebrating Christmas with your families this week as we did! We started on Christmas Eve with the children's live nativity service at Grace Covenant. There were real live goats and chickens and even people dressed up as Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus, the shepherds, and the wise men! Liam and I got to go and sit up front to watch it all with the other kids, and we did great! We both sat quietly and watched the whole time. It was so amazing to see the Christmas story of Jesus's birthday!

Mommy can't believe how fast I'm growing up!
After church, we went home to have a yummy family dinner of lasagna and birthday cake for Jesus. Yummy! Then we fixed a plate of cookies and a carrot for Santa and his reindeer and headed up to bed so he could come!

Christmas morning we slept in until 7, which is really late for Liam! We woke up and headed downstairs to see if Santa came, and guess what?! He did! He brought me the Frozen robe that I asked for AND a Frozen nightgown, too! He brought Liam a really cool car track. He also brought us lots of goodies in our stockings, which I was super excited about opening! Check it out!
Liam loves his new car track!
My Frozen robe is so soft and cozy!
After stockings, Nana and Papa came over and we had monkey bread for breakfast and then opened presents at home from Mommy and Daddy. I got some really cool and pretty things. I think my favorite is a fancy pink dress with gold sparkles. Liam's favorite is a toy that goes on the fridge where he can build all different kinds of cars, trucks, and boats with magnets. He also really likes the soft Spiderman doll that I got for him. Mommy and Daddy opened presents, too. Liam and I got Daddy some awesome Star Wars legos.
After presents at our house, it was time to head over to Nana and Papa's house to open more presents with Mommy's whole family and eat a delicious dinner that Daddy and Nana cooked. Nana and Papa spoiled me a little bit at Christmas this year! Nana made me a beautiful Cinderella dress from the new Cinderella movie, and Papa made me an awesome closet for all of my dress-up clothes! AND they gave me a brand new doll with her very own matching Cinderella dress and LOTS of other clothes! Her name is Sydney Lee, and I LOVE her. Liam got some more really cool things, too. He got a drum full of all kinds of different music toys that are super noisy! Mommy and Daddy said that toy has to stay in our basement. We got to see our family open the presents that we got for them, too, which was really special. We drew names this year (except for Nana & Papa), and I got Uncle Chris. I also helped make a special heart-shaped stepping stone for Nana's garden with Liam's and my footprints on it. I loved watching everyone open the gifts I got for them!

After presents we ate our delicious dinner and red velvet souffles for dessert. Yum yum yum! Then it was time to get in our jammies and head home for bed after a busy and super fun day. We were really good all day long, but we were definitely tired! We even slept in until 7:30 this morning! Now we're really excited because GiGi and Daideo and Sean are coming tomorrow, and we get to have one more Christmas celebration with them! I can't wait!!!
