1st Christmas

This year we had two 1st with Christmas, of course it was Kaden's but also we did Christmas on our own and it turned out great!!! I have to admit that it was great to have the web cam so it felt like we were all together for a bit but it runs in the family that when we're hungry we must eat and that was the case for Kaden while we watched. LOL
Christmas Eve we went and spent the day with Bryann and her family and had a blast!!! The kids hadn't seen Kaden since his hair cut and he can stand so they thought that was great and Kaden didn't mind the attention. Tayson and Kaden had a good time together chatting a bit and sharing a few smiles. I was surprised how soft Kaden was. Tayson is sure growing fast!!!
Dinner was soooooo good, Steak, shrimp, mashed potatoes ( I added a little extra love but they were still good) and all the trimmings. Big Hit.
As tradition stands the kids were able to open one present Christmas Eve, pjs from Aunt Sandy, and they looked so cute. All the boys matched and then the girls matched. We talked to Mom and Dad on the web cam, Kaden's favorite, which was a ton of fun too.
Kaden opened his gifts from Bryann, Eric, and the kids then we headed home with a very tired little boy.
Christmas started at about 6:30am but not with Kaden getting up.... no it was Aaron. Figures that this would be the day that the weeks routine would kick in. (wink) Kaden got up about 7:00am and we got on the web cam with the family. He had a hard time paying attention to his gifts because he wanted to talk and soon was ready to eat so we signed off and had a quick bowl of cereal. He opened the gifts from Mom and Dad, but we were surprised that he wasn't more into the paper. After that we turned on the cartoons and put together his toys and he was happy as can be.
When he went down for his nap I made a real Christmas breakfast; pancakes, eggs, and ham!!! I was so proud of myself and is was soooo good. Kinda funny after we got everything cleaned up it felt like any other day but Kaden had older toys and it was a blast to watch him play.
Brooks called Mom and Dad and they called me, it worked out that the place where Brooks is staying has Skype!!! I was so excited because Kaden and Brooks were able to see each other for the 1st time, loved it. Kaden was a goof and gave him some great smiles which was perfect.
Christmas was wonderful and we're looking forward to the New Year
