Well, some of you may have noticed that the blog looks a little different. I figured it was time for a change, a new year's resolution of some sort, out with the old, in with the new...okay, you get the point. I've also figured out a few new tricks...like making pictures bigger. No, I do not aspire to be a professional blogger, so don't think there will be too many other tricks...maybe next year's resolution.
We had a great Christmas. For the first time ever, we spent Christmas Eve night at our house. I'm not going to lie and say that it wasn't a little weird. In some aspects, it was kind of lonely, but I am glad that Caden got to wake up at his own house and maybe next year, he will start to appreciate that Santa comes to his house.
This year was definitely the first year that Caden started to get things. What a difference a year makes! He doesn't fully understand the whole Santa thing, but he FULLY understands the whole present opening thing. He kept saying "My present", "My turn", etc.
We opened all of the presents on Christmas Eve from family, mommy and daddy, etc. (except for Santa since he doesn't come until later that night).

Then, we left our homemade blueberry cookies and milk for Santa Clause on his special plate!

Then we packed up and headed over to Panama City to see Grammie, Pops, Mimi, Uncle Todd, Aunt Carly, Brody, and Wade! And guess what, more presents! Caden is sure one lucky boy! Now, we have to go through all of his old toys and give those away!

Some of Caden's new things are telling us "No, I no want it"...to just about everything. Or you ask him where something is and he tells you "right there". He also got a few sports games for Christmas and when he hits the ball or gets the bean bag on the target, he throws both of his hands up in the air and yells "I did it"!
Funny boy...He also loves to sing songs now...I'll try to catch it on video. It's hilarious...he sings and throws his arms out. He says and does the darndest things these days. He got some bath finger paints from Santa, so I drew a line on the side of the tub with them and he said "nake, momma, nake"! (Snake)
He definitely knows more than we give him credit for sometimes. I picked him up from school on Monday and I told him we were going home and he said...Daddy...I said, yes, Daddy will be there...he said Mimi...I said, no, Mimi had to go home (she stayed with us the night before). Then he looked at me, cocked his said and said Mimi are you. When he can't find one of us at home, that's what he goes around saying, Daddy, are you, Mommy, are you?
And here's one last blog trick for you...
