Christmas Sunday

The Postons

Quite a few posts ago I talked about being in Utah for a week and seeing some friends, the Postons. Ashley and I were due a few days apart from each other and we got belly shots of us in September. They came down to visit family for Christmas and we were able to get pictures of the kids post-womb.

Their little girl, Addison, is so long!! They are both very tall and she is definitely going to be tall as well. She is so cute! I hope I am blessed with a little girl someday.

Curiosity killed the cat

Well, as you can see, my son is very very creative. This is the epitomy of my life with this child. I was in the bathroom for less than 5 minutes and this is what he accomplished. I had been burning the candle for a few hours. He climbed up the cupboards with no assistance (no chair or box of any kind in sight) and onto the stove. You have to hand it to him though, I would have never thought to put a wire wisk and a fire starter in together. Maybe he will like eclectic art someday...

Seeing Santa

Aaron's aunt does a preschool in her home. They had their Christmas program today. I took Kaden and Brendon and met some of Aaron's family there. Santa came. Kaden had already sat on santa's lap this season so he was prepared to be brave on his own this time around. He asked for a train. I love Christmas time. It is a crazy busy time of year, but always filled with lots of fun memories to cherish for years to come.

A good time

We went with some friends to a park nearby that was putting on a winter wonderland celebration. They had snow and games and a train ride. Kaden loved the snow.

More pics of the boys

Kaden absolutely adores Brendon. He is such a good big brother. He is always willing to help. He loves to talk to him. Kaden always says "him loves me, mom." Brendon is very aware when Kaden is around. You can tell he already knows and loves his big brother.

Okay so there were some pictures that I missed posting because of the arrival of Brendon. Here they are now...Enjoy!
