Step Ladder

We had the step ladder out the other morning and Wes was very intrigued. As soon as Kurt stepped down Wes jumped in to start inspecting and, of course, climbing. He quickly got to the top all on his own, Kurt and I standing by in case he fell.

Christmas Break, Part 6

The week after Christmas was a blast.We were able to spend a lot of time together as a family: relaxing, going on walks, dining at Dinks, watching movies, etc. A few of the highlights were going snowboarding with our friends Jon and Dawn and going to California Adventures. Kurt had never been to that part of Disney so we found some sitters to watch Wes and ventured over there. We actually had tickets that his parents gave us for Disneyland five years ago! We had a great time together and discovered the wonderful "single riders" line, which allowed us to jump to the front of the line so long as we didn't mind not actually sitting together on the ride. We bypassed a lot of waiting doing it that way on some of the rides. Kurt's favorite ride was Soaring Over California and mine was Tower of Terror. We also both loved the Toy Story ride (the picture with the 3D glasses on).

Finally.... Christmas! Christmas morning was fun, we gave Wes his first present from us and he had fun opening it. After our own Christmas we headed off to Kurt's grandparents' house to have a wonderful breakfast with his extended family and more presents, including some fun toys and clothes for Wes and dinner, a movie and free babysitting for us. One of Wes' favorite parts of the morning was watching a mini helicopter fly around the room all morning (one of Chris' presents). That night we went down to Northridge tovisit the rest of Kurt's family for some more yummy food and fun games. We were even able to sneak home in between all the festivities for a good nap. It was a great Christmas.

On the night of Christmas Eve we went over to my parents and then off to Nana's to celebrate with my extended family. We enjoyed our tradition of homemade lasagna and zucchini patties then off to presents we went.
