Baby Sarah's first Christmas

The holiday rush is finally over. We somehow managed to find meaningful gifts for the whole family between feedings and diaper changes. Shopping with an infant in a store filled with hundreds of people was a bit of a challenge, but Sarah behaved wonderfully most of the time. The light buzzing sound of people walking, talking, and Christmas music playing put her to sleep in a matter of seconds, leaving us with an opportunity to look for presents. On Christmas Eve we celebrated at my parents according to the Hungarian tradition. Gift exchange was a lot of fun. My parents went overboard on their spending. We got fantastic gifts, like a toaster oven, 3 awesome skillets, a Maple Leafs calendar for Peter, diapers, wipes, a cute little hair brush set for Sarah, gift certificates to my favourite restaurant and to Tim Horton's etc, etc...
I think my parents were happy with their gifts too. I know dad sure was. He got a 10 foot long fishing rod, with a professional fishing knife. Tyson and Richie got their usual bacon strips wrapped in fancy paper. Sarah slept through most of it. She looked really cute in her new Christmas outfit.
The next morning we went over to Pete's parents. We even managed to find a Tim Horton's that was open on Christmas Day, so everyone could have their daily double double. We had a nice breakfast made by Rowena and Peter, then we started opening gifts. Sarah was sitting on my lap, when all of a sudden, I felt a warm and wet sensation. She had peed so much that her diaper couldn't hold it, so it ended up on my jeans. Of course, from that point on I became the center of all the jokes. I changed my pants, then we changed Sarah. She made such a huge mess, that we had to garbage her undershirt. We resumed to opening gifts shortly after. The last one to be opened was Richard's new 32" flat panel TV. It was quite the surprise.
Then in the afternoon we had a big, delicious turkey dinner with the extended family.
And now here we are preparing to wave goodbye to 2007. Where has the year gone?
