Christmas in Oregon was especially fun this year because as my family grows and changes I think we miss them more and more, and it becomes more and more fun to watch our kids interact with their Aunts and Uncles and Cousins. It's also a treasured time of watching them participate in some of the same traditions that I did growing up. Which by the way, I never realized how much work went into all of the baking and preparation until recently. So thank you Mom for all the work you did to make Christmas and childhood so much fun, and for now doing that for your grandkids.
Here are a few of our favorite things:
1. Decorating the Gingerbread House!
2. Silly Sweet Cousins!
3. Opening Presents
4. Tea Parties With Grammy
5. Reaching Milestones
6. The Moos
7. Helping Uncle Robert and Uncle Ryan
8. Being Outside With Daddy
9. The Quad
This trip Wyatt's love for the moos may have outstaged his love for the quad, but not by much. He would have happily spent the entire day, everyday, outside with Daddy or one of his Uncles. Every morning he'd come in hands and cheeks red and puffy from the cold and begging for someone else to go back outside with him by insistantly saying, "moo, moo, moo." It'll be a lot of fun to see him run around out there next time when the weather is a little warmer.
10. Flying Home, Tired From All The Fun
On our way to Oregon Sadie and Wyatt were extremely wiggly and so excited, but the flight home was a somewhat different story. We still had some wiggly moments but we also had some amazing peaceful moments as all 3 selpt and watched movies. It seemed a fitting ending to a fun and busy Christmas season. I'm always a little tired at the end of it too, and yet sad to see it go, and I think the kids felt the same way.
