Aidan & Santa

Here they are today...

And one year ago!

I can't believe how much he has grown up. (By he, I mean Aidan. Santa looks pretty much the same)

18 months, going on 18

Here is Aidan with his new video iPod. It is not really Aidan's but since it is loaded with the Backyardigans shows, Veggie Tales movies and Sesame Street songs it might as well be. Hopefully it will keep him entertained during our holiday travels.

Winter Hayride

Last Sunday was the neighborhood hayride to judge the Christmas decorations. We didn't win but Aidan enjoyed the donut holes.

Another Game, Another Puck

We went to the Stars game last Friday night and Aidan got another puck tossed over the glass to him. We also got to check out the zamboni parked outside.

Dinner in Bethlehem

Our church had a special for dinner for younger children to celebrate Christmas. There was a live Nativity, dinner, and a program about the birth of Jesus. I think Aidan's favorite part was the cookies for dessert.

Happy, Happy...

Aidan's new favorite thing are candles with a fake flame. He carries them around and sings "Happy, happy, happy". He wants us to sing Happy Birthday and then he pretends to blow it out.

Carrollton Christmas

On Saturday, Carrollton had a little Christmas Festival in the old downtown.

Here is Aidan wearing his Lowe's apron. Needless to say Daddy had to complete the wood-working project.

Aidan also checked out the fire truck.

And ate his first candy cane (rather neatly I must say).
