I'll Be Home For Christmas

Christmas #4: Technically we didn't make it home for Christmas but like I said...we like to spread the joy.



Just my baby boy thinking he's big stuff.
He loves playing the piano. I don't know who he's seen play but he would sit on the bench, open the hymn book and act like he was reading it as he played.
He loves that Gramma and Grandpa's house is always stocked with food and he LOVES that he has access to it. It seemed like he was always grabbing a granola bar or fruit strip out.
He decided this time that he was too big to slide down the stairs and wanted to walk down.
He's loved the remote (and phones) since he was really REALLY young. This time he found the remotes despite our effort to hide them.
Kohen loves to follow the cat around and call after him. At one point I told him to sit on his bum and wait for the cat to come to him. He understood the sitting on his bum but instead would scoot around chasing the cat on his bum.
The ottoman. Kohen found many more uses for it including using it as a stepping tool and climbing it in. He was obsessed.



Opening his presents and helping put them together.


Playing outside was a must.


I LOOOOOOVE HIM!


Playing with Auntie Krista...while she played with his toys. :)


Folsom Zoo
I've gone numerous times growing up and was excited to finally take Kohen.
He loves animals and making animal noises so it was fun to let him see the animals in person.
We also got to go on the train ride. It's the only mini real steam engine left in the US.


Having fun playing


My dad got a back massager thing for Christmas and everyone lined up for massages.
Kohen was by far the biggest fan. We have an idea as to what we should get him next year :)


New Years Eve was pretty low key. We had some family friends come over and as a result Kohen got to stay up very late taste testing and showing off. I kicked off my New Year in bed snuggling with my baby in my arms-best New Years Eve! (Sorry hun).Snuggles



Uncle Ben is always fun

My cousins came over one night for dinner and Kohen had a BLAST!
Kohen insisted on sitting at the kids table instead of the highchair and was CRACKING UP at the kids doing silly things. He seriously thinks he is big stuff and would follow them around doing everything they did and would laugh at all their jokes. It made me sad we didn't live closer.


All four of our Christmases were so fun and we were so glad
to be able to spend it with our families!
