We had such an amazing Christmas this year! We went to Evanston and got to spend almost two weeks with my family. Everyone was home this year so it was a lot of fun. One of my favorite things that we got to do was go down to Salt Lake and see the lights on temple square as a family. The lights are so beautiful and Calvin loved them! We have gotten a laugh over how much he has loved to stare at Christmas lights all through this Christmas season. It was cold while we were there, but we bundled up and had a really good time. Christmas day was a lot of fun, we opened presents, went to church, had a great dinner, and played games with the family all evening. The family got a game called, "Run For Your Life, Candyman", it is like the old Candyland game but a lot more fun! We played it several times with everyone while we were there. Nathan and I weren't going to spend much on each other for Christmas this year, but Nathan surprised me by getting me a really nice coat and some perfume, what a nice husband! I bought Calvin a little coat too, and it actually matches mine... which wasn't planned but worked out really nicely!
Calvin is such a good and happy baby! Over Christmas we made three trips down to Utah and he was amazing each time! He loves to ride in his car seat and usually falls right to sleep. He was a huge hit at my family's house, he never got put down. He is starting to become much more alert, he stays up for longer periods of time and is always wide eyed and looking around at everything. He smiles all the time and has even giggled a couple times while awake (he giggles all the time while he is asleep... it is the cutest thing ever). He has starting sucking on his thumb and fingers when he can get them to his mouth, which takes him some effort since he still doesn't have great control. We weighed him the day after Christmas and he was already 12.5 pounds, almost double his birth weight... yikes.
We loved our first Christmas with our little baby boy, I just keep thinking how incredibly blessed I am to have him and Nathan in my life. I love my beautiful little family!
