My first birthday as a mom was awesome. Grandma Mc babysat so Mat and I could go to H2Ocean which was delicious! Then we celebrated Rich's 30th Birthday as a surprise at Ruth Chris on Friday with Grandma and Grandpa La. And Saturday we celebrated Joe and Kristen birthday with the fam at our house. A big shout out for Mat in coming in big with the delicious ice cream cake. Such a fun day with the family!
Kelsey's first New Year's was rung in her festive dress. Kelsey met and partied with Ben and James, so fun having all the babies and her cousins all together. Joe and Dana hosted is all, even 2 days after her surgery. We had to leave the festivities early because Kelsey had a fever from her shots a few days ago but we got to see the ball drop from home. Looking forward to a happy and healthy 2017.
We had a fun time at Grandma and Grandpa's house with the Montiero and Hendershot families. We made homemade clay ornaments under Tracys supervision and a special visit from Santa Paul but the big surprise of the night was Aunt Dana getting an emergency surgery to remove her appendix but thankfully she is feeling much better. Always a night to remember at the LaSalvias.
We had a busy week, starting with cosmic bowling with the McGowans, though we have to give credit - Mat was impressive and finally beat Kristen in one game. Then we had a fun visit with Aunt Janis and Uncle Tom and later with Rich and Sam. The next day we went down to EB for Grandma's birthday. Kelsey made herself know at Frescos and then we got to see Aunt Kim's new house.
Kelsey is 2 months old on Christmas day. She weighs 13.9 lbs and is 22.5 inches. She did good getting her first round of shots and Daddy was a big boy with all the needles lol. We can't believe Kelsey is already growing so much, we are so in love.
Kelsey's first Christmas was a lot of fun. She started the day on her new chair surrounded by all her presents with a big smile. She was so lucky to get such great gifts from Santa and her loving family. Mat and I survived hosting our first big holiday in our new house hosting the McGowans, Hoffarts and Tortoras. everyone liked the meal Kristen cooked, we gave Mat the day off from cooking for once lol.
Dana and Joe hosted Christmas Eve which started off with Kelsey sleeping through church at Joyful Noise and Ryan also joining in nap time. We had an awesome dinner including our favorite lobster bisque soup and sangria. Kelsey had an awesome time with her cousins and funny enough all gifted the same picture of them. It was truly a memorable night and we are so blessed to have such a loving family.
