Eli's first Christmas



I know it's been a while since Christmas, but whatever. It still happened. He won't remember it, but it happened. We were road warriors. NWA to Dallas to Baton Rouge, back to Dallas and finally home... all in seven days. Poor kid had a double ear infection and something called bronchilitis, but like I said, he won't remember it. That's when you feel like mom of the year when you think you kid MIGHT be sick and so you take him in and then they tell you that you need to be ready to go to the emergency room if a, b, or c happens. I think all mothers have had that experience. It PROBABLY wouldn't have ANYTHING to do with the time you took them in when you THOUGHT they were sick and they sent you home with a piece of paper with the title "How to Fight the Common Cold in Your Infant" along with giving you the "You don't need to bring him in for everything" speech. Nope, it probably didn't have anything to do with that.

So, like I said, the first place we stopped was Dallas to celebrate with the Perry's. It was great and Eli had such fun hanging out with his cousins, Taylor and Anna Kate. Not to mention Nana, Papa, Auntie Em, and Uncle Ryan.




Next, we went to Baton Rouge to see my family. We go every other year to visit my family and it is always fun.






My cousin Carrie and I used to wear really big bows and dress alike. Well, we thought it was time to bring it back. You know, for ol' times' sake.
