Christmas in Colorado

We headed to Colorado on December 23 to spend Christmas with Mike's family. We had to travel through snow from Salt Lake to Evanston but the roads cleared up after that. While we were there we played cards, lots of Guitar Hero, went shopping, and took Kade to his first Hockey game. We also ate a ton of great food. Kaden was a really good travelor, it was when we got there he became a little terror. He wouldn't go down for a nap the entire week we were there. He had to be rocked to sleep and held for all of his naps. If not, he would just cry for hours and not get a wink of sleep.
A Wilson family tradition is decorting cookies on Christmas Eve. Kaden was a little young to decorate but loved participating in the eating part. He would of eaten the entire cookie but I cut him off about half way through.On Christmas Eve Mike sang the Hanukah song by Adam Sandler. Kaden thinks his dad is a rock star.
Kaden needed a lot of help opening his gifts. He was very spoiled by all of his grandparents.

Kaden's face lit up when he opened a soccer ball from his Aunt Jen and Uncle Brant. It is the perfect size for him.


Kaden's stocking made by his Grandma Wilson.

About half way to Colorado Mike and I realized we forgot to pack our camera. Luckily we were able to take pics with his parents camera. Thanks for emailing the pictures Kevin and Pam.

Cute pictures, wish we could have been there too!

I would say I'm sorry I missed Michael's performance, but...

That stinks about his naps- that is the worst.

Um... How did we never hear about Mike's skills on the guitar? Next time we hang out we expect a serenade! ha ha

Ok, Emily, now you are going to have to post the video of Michael singing, because people are starting to think he can really play the guitar! :-)

I can't believe how grown up Kaden is looking. His face is really slimming down and his hair looks darker. Hope you guys had a great holiday season!!

I think his face is adorable in the picture with the soccer ball. Great smile.
