Christmas 2009

This year we mixed up Christmas a little bit and decided to head out to Sacramento to spend it with Dan's family and I am very glad we did. It was really nice to get to know Dan's sister better and spend time with his nieces. Shad definitely go to know his cousins better and I can't say he loved all of it. Shad's cousins are 2 very loving and adoring little girls. Kaileigh is 4 and Kaidence is 5 so you can only imagine how much fun that had with a real live doll known as Shad. They were so excited every time he had a poopy diaper so they could help me change it or when it was getting late they would ask me again and again if they could put him in his jammies. They even fought over who he would help open their presents on Christmas. The night before Christmas I helped the girls get out treats for Santa and write letters, I had to include Kaidence's letter cause it was adorable! The weather was awesome...well maybe I only thought so because we came from a 20 degree snow storm so 50 degrees felt like paradise. Most of the trip we just visited with Dan's family and some good childhood friends it was very relaxing. The trip home was a little crazy only because of the attempted bombing in Detroit. We heard that check-in was super slow so were arrived to the airport 3 hours early only to find a normal paced check-in and a very delayed flight. I am so glad I had a laptop with me to help kill some time. The vacation was great but as with and trip I am glad to be home again and Shad is even more so, I dont think i have seem him so excited to be on familiar grounds. He keeps running in and out of this bedroom and playing with all the toys we didn't take. I cant wait to sleep in my own bed tonight!
