My 29th birthday was 12/30. Mark and I decided to do something we pretty much never do while visiting his parents... actually leave the house ;) Other than our short trip to the mall before Christmas and our drive to Whidbey, we had our first family outing and did a short walk and lunch at a little bistro in Old Town Oak Harbor. It was a small adventure, but we felt good about getting out with the baby.
That night Jean made me a special meal and I opened some nice gifts from everyone. Mark's gift for me was a little late and I didn't get it until we got home, a necklace with charms on it with all our names on it, SO fun!!
It was a wonderful birthday!
This is us at lunch. Other than a small snack, Millie slept through almost all of it ;)
We had a small misunderstanding with our New Year's celebration. Being a new mom, I get tired early and the 31st was no exception. I went to bed at 10pm and had Mark promise to wake me at 11:45. So I headed to bed. The next thing I knew it was after 1am and Mark was bringing me little Millie to feed her. Umm... what happened to 11:45?
Apparently Mark woke me but I was SO tired that I quickly fell back asleep and didn't realize that when he said "happy new year" it was still only 11:45 and not 1am like I thought. I completely forgot he had woken me up earlier until the morning when he jogged my memory and thought he decided to let me sleep. I had really wanted to get up and celebrate the new year with a kiss and he really wanted me to get up.
So... we missed our New Year's kiss and family picture. Here's the substitute picture, taken the morning of the 1st.
Millie and her cousin's, Rian and Tegan.

What a precious baby. She is SO cute. I slept right through New Year's too. I think I'll be more fun someday, but not when sleep deprived already!
