Santa Brought a Choo Choo!

Santa came during Caelan's nap time. As you can see, he found it straight out of bed (pantsless). Here are different stages: Introduction, application and mastery. He can fill the tank engine with water and start it up again. Check it out!

Mr. Potato Head!

Mr. Potato Head!

Merry Christmas Great Nana, Papa and Aunt Ellen!

Wow, did Caelan get a special surprise with all of the presents. The puppies were quite happy as well. Oscar appreciates Edna's gifts. He misses her. :-) They both love the hand made doggy treats.

Caelan's favorite book at night is his train book. He also loved the puzzle and rock star shirt!

Mommy and Daddy love their presents too. That was very nice of all of you.. Thanks so much! We miss you guys and Merry Christmas.

Christmas at Jamie's with Old College Roomies!

It was TONS of fun at Jamie's.

Santa!

We always wondered what Caelan's first experience with Santa would be like. As you can see, there is no shyness and no fear. Only complete and unconditional love. The hugs were plentiful and I wish you could have heard him Ho Ho Ho! This was an amazing time for young and old.

Chow Time

The buddies hung out and chowed some lasagna.

Babies

Here are the two babies Norah and Mason. As you can see, we caught Mason at three different stages. Super awake, awake and super tired. Holding Mason in the second picture is the host, Jamie. She makes a mean lasagna!!

The Choo Choo

This kept the kiddos busy for about a half an hour. The train ran around Jamie's kitchen skillfully and loudly. Here you see Simon (Chris and Brenda's) and Sydney (Josh and Tracy's) and Caelan working together to make a very fun choo choo.

Snow Day

Caelan has mastered a big boy cup with no lid AND the milk mustache. Also, here is another shot of one of his many evening concerts I get to enjoy while daddy is at class. :-)

Getting Ready to Walk

With Nana and Fancy.

Godfather Part IV

Nate is Caelan's Godfather and he came over to play cars with the guys. It's fun to make Caelan call him Godfather.

Puppies at Papa and Grawa's

Here are some pictures Papa took from a few weekends ago. They puppies were able to make this trip. They really try to work over Papa.

Rescue Pack

Caelan has turned into a Diego fan! Here he is sporting his cowboy hat, snow boots, Thomas PJ's (courtesy of Papa Colorado), "bird watchers", and egg wisk. I, no doubt, never have to fear with a rescuer such as this in my very house.

First Snow

The preparation, inspection, reflection...not in that order.

He REALLY likes snow this year!

Remote Control Trucks

The guys had a good time trying out the H2 and the truck on the ramps. Papa Malcom got "Caelan" these trucks to play when he visits. Caelan and the rest of them couldn't get enough of this on Saturday and Sunday. I was surprised at how good K-man was with the remote. He even had a stance when he wanted to trucks to go backwards. It was a really good time.

Amazing Times

At the amazing Pizza Machine. Caelan and Ellie had a blast at the Pizza Machine. They played air hockey, jumped in the jumper, and rode on the frogger. It was so much fun.

Toddler Shots

As anyone who has ever been around a couple of toddlers knows, getting them to both look at the same time is really hard. So, here are my attempts at the zoo with Caelan's good friend, Tyler. They are such good buddies.

Hold me Closer

Tiny Dancer! Caelan's wearing Mommy's Elton John sunglasses from Kelly and G's Halloween party. They look better on him!

Here He Comes!

He ran four times around the park. He just kept saying, "I gotta run. I gotta run." Apparently, he was right. He was tired very early this night!
