Merry Christmas

I can't believe that we are celebrating Christmas with our son! I couldn't ask for anything more as a gift... he is truly a daily blessing. Once again we traveled back home to Lexington, KY for our Christmas celebration. After turning a normal 3.5 hour trip into something closer to 6 hours we made it to my mother-in-laws house and it began- the "Caileb War." Over the duration of the trip it was a constant discussion of who was holding him next, or who had held him to long and it was time to pass him! To be honest I enjoyed watching this because I saw everyone's love for him, it was also easy for me to watch because he was so calm about everything- he didn't mind so I didn't mind. Caileb did fine with life outside the norm- being around so many people for extended periods of time didn't really bother him. He ate, slept and pretty much stuck to his regular routine, just in the arms of various family members throughout the day!

Christmas was great... this was the first year that both sides of the family (mine and Ricas') actually got together and did a joint Christmas dinner, typically we go from one side of town to the other visiting family, but not this year! It was so great to just relax and have fun and fellowship with the entire family! (Although there wasn't much relaxing after dinner because my mother discovered Wii and she just couldn't get enough... she was challenging everyone to a game)!

So check out the pictures below and see what our Christmas was all about!!!
