Lydia Hollinden: Holiday Season 2008

Lydia has officially experienced her first Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Eve/Day. We have been quite busy, but still have had plenty of time to relax and do nothing! School starts back up tomorrow, which means Lydia will head back to daycare.

Our Christmas season started off with the Bentley family Christmas the weekend before Christmas. It was a bit hectic, however, because that was the same weekend at Stephen Waters' wedding, in which Chris was an usher. That weekend was also the only chance we had to see Tom and Kristen and Andy and Erika as they were all going to be out of town on Christmas Eve.

As Christmas Eve rolled around we headed to the Hollinden Christmas followed by midnight mass. We spent most of Christmas Day with the Chinns and then ended Christmas Day by having everyone to our house. It all went by way too quickly, but we had a great two days.

Also during our Christmas break, Lydia broke through her bottom two teeth! We were at a basketball game and discovered that she had two bottom teeth. Lydia also got a chance to see Will and Max Anderson, who were in from Virginia. Will was annoyed with her everytime she touched him, as you see in the pictures below. Another highlight from the trip was getting to meet up with friends Stuart, Harriet, and their son Jude. They were visiting from Switzerland and were in Greenwood, IN for a family Christmas. We drove up one day to meet Jude and hang out for a bit. Finally, Chris got to be on the radio during the Tell City Holiday Tourney. We was on for two different games, and I think he found his calling!
