Family Pictures

Since it has been 3 years and 1 child ago since we got family pictures done, we went and had them taken yesterday. Aaron was his usual stoic self. He doesn't smile well for strangers. He just sits and looks at them like they are from another planet. But that's ok, at least he wasn't cranky and crying. You never know with an infant.

Christmas


We had a very busy year this year at our house. With the addition of Aaron and having my parents move here and having Jeff and Susie come out, we had plenty of family around. Christmas Eve was the usual deal. We went to Cara's Aunt Dolores' house for the annual Christmas Eve party, ate the usual food that we all look forward to and did the gift exchange between the cousins. The adults actually did one too this year. That was a lot of fun and then from there we went to the late night Christmas Eve candle light service at our church. It was really nice. Aaron actually stayed awake the whole church service....he was so tired! Christmas Day we did our morning tradition of presents and Christmas donuts! Yummy....Aaron enjoyed his first Christmas donut! Then the family came over and we opened more presents and then had a great Christmas buffet of ham, turkey, meatballs, baked macaroni...and followed it up with pumpkin pie and ice cream for dessert! Yum!

All in all, it was a wonderful Christmas, and we were so blessed to be able to spend it with so much family!
