Growing Up Grant: Merry Christmas!!

Well, it is hard to believe that Christmas will be gone again with in the next few hours. We had a great time getting prepared for the special day. And we had a great Christmas! Last year, we were in Virginia with family, and Jon spent the morning hunting, killing his first deer. This year, we were woken up by baby early this morning to open presents and stockings. Both Jon and I made out well. We opted not to buy Kaden anything because I thought he would make out just fine with other folks giving to him. He was definitely blessed with gifts this Christmas!

After brunch at home, we went out to Jon's brother's house for dinner and presents. Dinner was great, and Kaden got a lot of great toys. He can't play with some of them just yet, but he is learning how to interact more and more...so I think that he will be enjoying them before too long. Some of the presents were for the bath, which I hope that he will love someday soon. So far, he hates the bath. Screams every time. Oh well, he will get used to it!

Jon had today off and will not have to go back to work until Monday. So we are excited to spend the weekend together!! Just the three of us, me and my boys! On my list of things to do, take down the tree and pack up some of the Christmas decor. Also, get some of the gifts put away and catch up on cleaning. We are expecting our friends, Luke and Charity, next week so the house needs a once over. After the holidays, it probably needs more like and overhaul. The last thing that I'm gonna do is pack for Virginia! Being with family in Alaska for the holidays was blessing. But we are looking forward to seeing my family in VA and introducing our little man to all our family and friends! Can't wait!!

Before I go, some pictures. Kaden has many Christmas outfits so here are some pictures of that and some photos from Christmas day!
