Our 1st Christmas

It was exactly that- our very first Christmas as a family- and we kept it very low key and simple.

On Christmas Eve, we went together to the movies (the Mommy & Me screenings) and saw Slumdog Millionaire which was so good. After that, we picked up Kime and ate a heap of food at this fun Asian all-u-can-eat buffet. I say Asian b/c there was Chinese food as well as Japanese and Filipino, etc.
We dropped Kime home and then went to Pasadena to do some Christmas Eve shopping for the baby's stocking.
Then we came home and gave him a bath which is always fun. He loves the bath so much.
The next day which was Christmas it was raining. This made it sort of magical to us b/c it never rains in LA.
We slept in until nearly noon which felt great.

Then Matt made us a yummy breakfast of Applewood smoked bacon, eggs, buttery biscuits and polenta cakes with gouda.
After a leisurely meal, we watched Jasper "open" his gifts.

We got for him some great books and music that he loves along with a minky blanket and plush sheets for his co-sleeper.
After all of that, we booked staggered massages at the Thai spa. Matt went first and I watched the baby then we switched. It was so nice and after that, I made us a red curry with chicken over jasmine rice for dinner.
A lovely start for our family.
