Baby's First Christmas

What are the odds!! Caden's first Christmas was a WHITE CHRISTMAS! Ah, ya gotta love Texas. It was a blizzard almost all day on Christmas Eve. And then Christmas day was as absolutely gorgeous day. Caden wasn't sure about all the white and the bitter cold. She kept gasping while we were outside (for a total of 5 minutes). But, doesn't she look adorable in her fur coat!
She was so excited and curious about opening her presents. Of course, until the present was completely unwrapped, all she wanted to do was eat the wrapping paper. We should have just wrapped a bunch of empty boxes, hours of fun.






On Christmas day, we spent the morning at home. We were snowed in and couldn't drive down the driveway. Later that day, we went over to Jon's mom's house and had Christmas with her side of the family. It was very nice to be able to see everyone.



We had Christmas with members of my extended family on the Monday following Christmas. Thank you so much to Sonny and Virginia, Tuggie and Sonney, and Joanne (Aunt JJ) for travelling so far to be here for Christmas. We so enjoyed seeing all of you!



Happy Holidays to everyone! We hope that everyone has a very blessed season and a joyous New Year!

First Cereal

Caden is growing quick! She wasn't too sure about eating cereal at first, but she has gotten so good at it now. I have also gotten better at feeding her. Its hard to feed a moving target.

Our First Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was absolutely wonderful. We were able to have an early Thanksgiving on Wednesday with my Grandmother Loise, G-pa and Cici, Laura, Joe, and Connor. Then on Thanksgiving day, we went to Susan's house and had dinner with her family. On Friday, Jon, Caden and I drove to Waco to visit Jon's dad and his family. Boy were we tired at the end of the week! Much love to everyone.
