All tagged Melody's First Christmas
Forgive me for being MIA for a few weeks. We have been caught up in all of the Christmas festivities and just enjoying that time with Miss Melody. Speaking of which, I wanted to share with you all of the fun Melody had over the Christmas holidays. We sure were busy. Check it out below!
My aunt took some gorgeous pictures of Melody with the perfect Santa Claus. Below are the adorable pictures. I can't wait to see her reaction next year!
I wanted Melody's first Christmas stocking to be something special. I wanted it to be a smaller stocking so that in future years we could include it on our Christmas tree. That is where Brad's mom keeps his and his brother's first stockings. I thought this was a neat idea. I also wanted something with meaning. Sure, I could go buy a stocking, and I did originally. We have a "First Christmas" stocking that I found at Hobby Lobby that works with our decor, but I still wanted something more. So I decided to crochet Melody a stocking. I found a very, very useful video on youtube. I did one stocking, but half way through it looked awful! So I started over. It took me about 3 days to finish it. That does seem like a long time, but I have a 6 month old! And I really only worked on it at night when she went to bed for an hour or so at a time. I am even considering making full size ones next year for all 3 of us! Check it out below.
Last weekend we decided to take Melody to a local place called Santa's Village. It is an yearly event hosted by EarlyWorks Museum. We have never been to the EarlyWorks Museum, but we decided to try out Santa's Village to see what it was all about. We went with my best friend, her husband, and their 6 month old baby. The total cost for 2 adults was only $10. Melody was free since she is under 1. Below are some of our pictures from the night.
