Will's First Christmas

I know this is coming a bit late but I am just catching up with all the stuff that comes with traveling with a baby and now that I have a moment. . .time to blog about Christmas!

This year we went to Salt Lake City so that Will could be with both sets of Grandparents and as a special treat GG Narus (from Tucson, AZ) and Pete and Nancy (from England) came too. It was perfect. There was snow, family, and so many presents for Will his pile was bigger than he is. It doesn't seem like there's ever enough time when we go to Salt Lake and we did miss seeing some of our favorite people (Pambelina, I SWEAR I will find a way to see you next time we come). Jason got in a little skiing and my aunt, at whose house we stayed, hung out with Will which meant not only did I get to shower but instead of having to wear my hair up I got to blow dry it and wear it down everyday! This may not sound like much but I think before this trip the only time I didn't wear a pony tail was for church. It was nice to feel a bit like me again.

I'm not sure exactly why, though I think it had something to do with all of the people and running from place to place but Will just leap frogged developmentally. The trip was a little rough for him but after the first few nights things got better. As a result of our fun trip I have some photos to share.

Also, sorry about the quality on some of these. My camera phone usually does a pretty good job but it does leave a little to be desired at times.

Grandpa and Grandma Narus. Will LOVED driving Grandpa Narus's fingers like a steering wheel almost as much as he liked drooling on him.

I can't decide if he looks guilty in this one or just grown up. Thanks Uncle Bill for the great binky!

I am sure someday Will will let me know how little he appreciated all the goofy outfits I made him wear. But to be fair, these antlers he stole from Natalie (my aunt Ann's adorable daughter). I have some photos of them I'll be posting later but they are on the HD camera and I have no idea how to get to them without my tech-wonderful husband.

Will's first plane ride! Sorry about the poopy diaper rows in front and behind us!

If you think these are on the only Christmas outfits, you don't know how much fun it is to dress up a little guy but for now this will have to do for photos.
