Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Aiden has been enjoying this Christmas season - especially since he is starting to understand what Christmas is all about. He LOVES the Christmas tree and all of the lights and has only broken four ornaments so far (not too bad for Aiden :) ). He loved "helping" us set it up and was thrilled when he found out it had lights on it!

While Bryan was snowblowing the driveway the other day, I got Aiden all bundled up and took him outside to play in the snow. He loved it but was kind of discouraged that he couldn't move in it as well as he wanted to. Typical Aiden wanted to run all around but the snow was so deep that he kept sinking down and traveling through it wasn't as easy as he had anticipated. He still enjoyed it and Bryan had to carry him inside because he didn't want to go back in. He had his first mug of hot chocolate when we got in - full of marshmallows :)

Here's Aiden enjoying opening up his presents and playing with them...

A pic of Aiden with his cousins (hard to get a good pic of 5 kids but they did pretty good):

He will make a great big brother!Aiden trying on his Auntie Ta-Ta's festive gear:One of Aiden's presents from his grandparents was colored fizzy tablets that you drop in the bathtub to change the color of the water. We put a blue and yellow one in tonight to make green water - perfect for Christmas!

Here's a pic of Aiden on his new bean bag chair. In case you can't read it, his shirt says, "My X-Mas List: 1) New Puppy 2) Playset 3) Baby Brother 4) Toys! Toys! Toys!" #1 didn't (and isn't going to) happen (especially with a new baby on the way) - besides, he already has a dog. #2 is a possibility depending on my job situation for next year. #3 will come true in just 12 short weeks and wish #4 already came true as you can tell from above!
