Christmas

This December was wonderful and the break for Christmas was the highlight. We celebrated Christmas with our immediate family on Saturday the 22nd of December before heading to St. Louis to catch a flight to Utah. The kids couldn't wait to see the Grandparents and other family members. It was great to get to SLC and be greeted by both sides of the family. Then all the fun began. We went from one party, to the next, to the next. It was great. Ryan loved being able to run around all day and stay up late every night. He enjoyed spending time with his Aunt Brianna and his Grandparents. He loved being showered with gifts. On the evening of Christmas, while watching the forgotten Carols with the Bright family Caden realized that he could stand up on his own. He spent the next hour standing up, walking across the room and then falling on the floor only to get back up again to start all over. His face lit up like a Christmas tree as he discovered his new talent. He would get so excited that his mind would go faster than his little feet and he'd end up on his bottom. He enjoyed all of the hugs and kisses he received and all of the cats he was able to play with. It was a wonderful break for Trevor and I. Thanks to all of our family for making it so memorable. We love you guys and can't say enough about everything you do for us. The time seems to go so fast when we're with our loved ones. We wanted to visit so many of our friends also but ran out of time. We're overwhelmed by how many people help to make this journey a joyous one. We couldn't do it without you.
