Christmas Festivities

We have had such a nice Christmas week :)

Monday, the 23rd, we went to see a production of White Christmas at the Phoenix Theatre with my family.  We were laughing because we ended up in the first and second rows and were close enough to see spit fly and sweat drip..haha.  It was a very nice production though and was a fun way to kick-off our Christmas week. 

Bad quality - Jen's iPhone.

We spent Christmas Eve with Tanis and Kent.  Tanis made us gourmet pizza (might as well have been!) for dinner!  She did a supreme, an artichoke pesto one (so yummy!), and a garlic cheese bread.

Then we opened gifts.  You'll notice the pictures always revolve around Aiden :)  I don't even think to take pictures of anyone else anymore :/

Grandma and Grandpa got Aiden an airplane...

...and a matching helicopter!

Also a Planes book and Lego car set.

Family picture.  

Aiden didn't want anything to do with this picture, that's why he's way out in front, but once the camera started flashing (and took like 10 photos - to our surprise!) it got his attention, and we got a smile :)

'Twas the night before Christmas...back at our house :)

We always have our little Christmas before we head out to see the families.  Here's Aiden checking out his stocking.  I just wanted to have his cute little voice recorded.  You can tell I'm stuffy.  Getting over a cold.

On Saturday morning (before Christmas) Aiden totally shocked us when he came to us holding this little school bus and saying "I found the school bus"..haha. I had already put it in his stocking because I never thought he'd find it, but his stocking must've fallen down. Neither of us saw it happen, so it was pretty funny, and he seemed so proud of himself for finding it!  And then he played with it all day. I had to wait until he went to bed that night to hide it so I could put it back in his stocking on Christmas Eve ;)

After we opened our gifts from one another, we headed over to my family's.

We got Aiden some slippers for Christmas that pretty much match our L.L. Bean ones.  So cute!!

And here are just a bunch of pictures of Aiden rotating between everyone, opening his gifts.  He always gets the most of our little family ;)  Baby girl also got a whole little wardrobe ;)

Cheesing it with the aunts!

Aunts Jill, (Aiden), Amy, Jen, and Amber.

This whole season, Aiden has LOVED this Mickey and Minnie blow-up down the street from my parents'.  Every time we'd pass it he'd say "hi" and "bye".  We walked down to it with Aiden after gifts.  You can hear him right at the beginning saying "hi" :)

Mom, Amy, and Jill made us a nice little breakfast - well it was brunch by then - and then we headed home for naps.

We went back over that evening to hang out and figured we should get a family photo since we hadn't gotten one earlier.

Hope you all had a very merry Christmas!!
