Major Catch-up

Ok, I have some major catching up to do. Considering the fact that I'm nearly a month and a half behind, I guess it's about time. So this could take a while.....

Thanksgiving - We went to Abe's aunt's house and gathered with family. Those who live in Utah came down and it was good to see them. Especially for Aidan since they are the only family members on that side with a child near his age. They had fun playing around outside and Aidan gave him a spelling lesson (Aidan is 9 months younger. Smarty pants.) No pictures.

December 8 - Kindergarten Winter Program. Aidan did an excellent job in the program. His class performed 3 songs and he knew them all very well. Someone in the planning did an odd job though because they put my little Aidan in the back next to a giant. It was pretty humorous. Tanner was acting up a little, but luckily Aunt Becky was there to save the day :) I got some pretty good video and Abe captured a few decent shots on camera before the battery died.




December 18 - Family Christmas Party. My brother Alan and his wife Dawn hosted the party this year. We had our traditional white elephant gift exchange and regular exchange as well. It's always nice to be together, but it was just weird without Mom and Dad there. Dang Alaska. No pictures here either.

December 19 - T-ball. This was Aidan's last game of the season. Aidan was a total space cadet in the outfield (per his usual) and nearly got hit by a ball this time. After the game they handed out his pictures and Santa passed out medals. Aidan's coaches gave him a bag of goodies as well. For a while Aidan has been saying he's not interested in doing t-ball again, but after the final game he said he did want to play again. So we'll see. I thought his pictures turned out real well.


Although, this is a more realistic shot of Aidan in action:


December 20 - A Big Boy Bed. Tanner slept in a regular bed for the first time. He did awesome! He cried for a while, but never got out of the bed. He has always been such a good sleeper. I love him. We decided a while ago that on Aidan's Christmas break we would see how Tanner did out of the crib. So now him and Aidan are sharing a room and doing a great job. We didn't need the extra room available, we just thought we'd give it a shot. And so far so good. Here's what he looks like after a nap:


And Christmas will be on the next post.........
