Snippets of babys first December

Ok so December flew by and I didn't have time to blog anything for Aydens first Christmas. So here we go... (on January 11th), better late than never I hear. :) Here are some of my favorite pictures from the season. The first one here is Ayden on Christmas Eve night. We always go down to my Aunt Pats for the evening and have dinner and a little talent showcase. I think Ayden was going for the cutest picture award. I love this one!
On December 24th we went to see Santa, fortunately we went early and only had to stand in line for 45 minutes. Which I thought was going to be a nightmare for him because he isn't exactly a sit still baby but Cy went and bought a pretzel and that kept him entertained for quite awhile. Then we finally made it up to the 'Santa' land where there was a little more room so I sat him down on the carpet (yuck, but is was better than a screaming baby) and he crawled around and entertained some little kids. He loved Santa, he sat right down on his lap and thought it was the coolest thing ever, and we got this very cute picture. Its a perfect 1st Santa picture.

Here is mom and baby on Christmas eve. Just thought that I needed a picture of me for once :)

Here is baby and Grandma and Ellis'. This was Santa's second drop for baby. He was spoiled just perfectly. He loves all his new toys, he has them all figured out already. Its great! He is getting so big!

Grandpa Ellis holding baby after a very long day. Baby held out really well for all of the hustle of the day. We drove through 2 really bad snowstorms that day and both drives were longer than normal but he napped the whole way through.
Here is Grandpa Hendricks and Ayden. This is at teh beginning of the day right after the first snow storm trek. Baby was just waking up but happy!
This is earlier in the month when Ayden and I got to go visit our good friend Keri and her baby Madison who is 1 month younger than Ayden. Ayden is crawling and Maddie is not so Ayden thought the stairs were pretty fun and Madison was the cutest and just sat there and watched him take off away from her.
My roomate from college got married down in Vegas on Dec 27th so we drove down to Vegas on Dec 26th for the weekend and went to her marriage at the Vegas temple. It was extremely cold that weekend it was about 33 degrees.. so much for catching some rays) so we sat in the car and waited to go to the luncheon. Ayden was bored so he thought he would take a turn with the steering wheel. I love this picture, he is so intent and you can see the temple in the background. It was still very pretty down there.
The first weekend in December we decided to bundle baby and go see the lights. It was a lot of fun and it was a good family adventure. Cy took all the pictures, except the one at the first of our blog, we got this sister missionaries to take this one and then we gave them our handwarmers because we were leaving and it was freezing outside!

Congrats on the family pictures! I think Dan and I have four pictures together for this whole last year! Of course, now the camera isn't really seeming all that appealing ;op

Cute pictures! We need to get together again so Ayden can finish teaching Madison how to crawl. She never even tried until after you came and now she is sooooo close. Call me on one of your day's off and we can come over!
