Wow! We have actually been super busy lately. It must be that time of year with the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping, Christmas gatherings, hanging out with friends one last time for a couple weeks, and of course for Matthew finishing up those last papers and tests. So much to do and there never seems to be enough time to just sit and enjoy everything. I guess our relaxing will come tomorrow when we travel to Seattle for the next couple of weeks. It will be a good break from the "normal" and we will be able to catch up with lots of family and friends (not to mention the unlimited babysitting we will receive!). We have been able to get in the Christmas spirit over here as we had a weekend full of Christmas celebrations. On Friday we opened our family of three Christmas presents. Cayden was a pro at ripping the paper off those packages and to our surprise he was interested in the actual present! This year he got bubbles, fake keys, and a drum set with other instruments. He has really seemed to like the musical instruments so far so at least that is a plus!
After we opened presents we went to Griffith Park with our friends, Matt and Robyn. There was a huge Christmas light display so it was fun to walk around there. The lights weren't super great but it was definitely nice to get out and do something Christmasy.
Saturday night we went to the Schurring's house where they had a bunch of people over for a dinner party. The food was awesome and it was nice to meet some of their friends. Cayden especially liked the bunny as we was trying to get to it through the cage. This child is definitely a tough one to keep your eye on, especially in a non baby proof house. We finished the weekend with going to the Living Nativity at the Church of the Open Door on Sunday night. This was pretty cool and really reminds you of the true meaning of Christmas. It was a great Christmas weekend! Praying everyone has a great Christmas and we will try to keep you updated while we are in Seattle!
P.S. Oh and if any of you are wondering how Cayden is eating, he is eating awesome! It seems that the flu has helped him get his appetite back and then some. Cayden has now eaten spaghetti, chicken, manicotti, vegetables, and chicken lasagna. YEAH!! Thanks for all those who have been praying out there, it has definitely helped and we pray this good eating continues. I guess we need to get Cayden sick more often :)!
