Our first outing as a family of 5 was on Christmas morning. We took Tysen to church for the very first time. Matthew and I were nervous about how this would work because Alexa and Gavin give us enough trouble. Within the first 5 minutes of us getting there, Gavin had a meltdown and Matthew had to take him to the cry room. That left me with Alexa and Tysen, who was sleeping in his car seat. It was going pretty well until Alexa announced that she had to go potty. I had to take Tysen out of his car seat. Luckily, he didn't wake up. I ended up passing Tysen off to Matthew in the cry room on our way to the bathroom. When we came back, Gavin had settled down and we all returned to our pew. All three kids were fairly good for the rest of the service. Matthew and I were feeling pretty proud on our way out of church. Tysen got tons of attention in church. Everybody thought he was pretty cute! The picture above is what he wore to church for the first time.
Our first outing to church went so well that we decided to try and find a place to eat lunch. That wasn't easy since it was Christmas and most all places were closed. We ended up finding a place called the 94th Aero Squandron. They had a very nice buffet (buffets are excellent for kids because you don't have to wait for the food to be served and you can get them a large variety of choices). Tysen continued to sleep through lunch and Alexa and Gavin behaved themselves and ate really well. The kids were free, too, so that was a bonus! It was a nice lunch, but it did make me feel a little homesick and lonely. We were the only young family in the restaurant with children. I wish that we could have spent Christmas with our families.
This morning while I was nursing Tysen, I looked over at Gavin and noticed that he was trying to wear Mr. Potato Head's eye glasses! He looked so silly that I hollered at Matthew to grab the camera.
Tysen is hanging out in the bathroom while I take a shower. He loves the sound of running water. It wasn't long before he was fast asleep.
Alexa and Gavin are giving Gabbi some love.
His outfit says "01 with the ladies!"
His hand got too close to his mouth and he got excited thinking it was food!
