Merry Christmas

Planes Trains and Automobiles...

So I thought I would update everyone on my first Christmas. WOW!!! Lots of firsts!!! It all started with my first bus ride (from off site airport parking lot). That was pretty cool but then I got to get on the train to the terminal which was super interesting and I wasn't even scared. From there I got on my first airplane for a 6 hour venture to the NW to celebrate Christmas with Grandma, Grandpa and my aunties and uncle.

Everyone was SO impressed with how well I did on the plane, especially the guy beside me who looked like he was about to lose his mind when I sat down beside him. But hey, I showed him. Six hours later and not a peep. I was was awake for about 3 of the 6 hours While I was awake Daddy and I spent time at the back of the plane in the Galley staring at all the cool lights. (I was also perfect on my plane ride home)

Oregon was really cool, literally. We had about 8 inches of snow over the 10 days that we were there. Dad, Uncle Josh and I built my first snowman. Now that was awesome. It stood about 6 ft tall and had funky looking hair made out of tree bows. Not to mention oranges for eyes, a celery stick nose, and red liquorice for lips. Had to make do with what we Grandma had for supplies.

Christmas day was a blast. I got to open presents, play in the snow, walk to the coffee shop with Grandma and Grandpa and get ready for my big celebration on the 27th.

Grandma and her sisters planned a welcome party just for me. There were so many people that I didn't really know what to think. I just sat back with Mommy and Daddy most of the time taking it all in. It was a great social experience for me and I think I really charmed everyone with how well I responded.

Okay gotta go. Will fill you in on the rest of the details later this weekend and also tell you about my last Dr's visit to see Dr Kirsten on the 31st.

Can anyone guess how much I weighed???

Thanks for keeping up with me.

It was such fun having you with us at Christmas. Johnny said it best -Caiden's like a lava lamp. You are just fun to watch and watch and watch. . . even if you are doing nothing but being Caiden! But, in truth, you smiled and laughed and talked with your cooing and it was a delight. Lucky us to have you in our family! You're just the best!

Love,
Grandma
