Snow day
It has not been a very cold winter this year (which is ok with me) but we have not had a lot of snow. The one day that we did get a little bit of snow, we decided to take the boys outside in the backyard and get the sled out. Caden has desperately been wanting to go sledding and has patiently been waiting for the snow to arrive this winter. So out we went... not a lot of snow but enough to make the sled go down our little backyard hill a couple times. After he was done sledding, he asked if we could have a snowball fight :) Not really enough snow for that but we did get some off of Daddy's car to throw a couple of snowballs. Then he wanted to build a snowman...definitely not enough snow for that!! Noah went down on the sled a couple times then watched his brother run around. It seemed like he was trying to figure out what all the hype was about snow and being outside in the cold!

New Years/Vacation in Orlando
Yay for time away from the everyday! We went on vacation to visit Jimmy's family in Orlando for 9 days over New Years. I wouldn't exactly call it restful, but the time away and time spent with family and friends was great. Even some of his family from Puerto Rico came to visit. Schedules were completely thrown out the window as we got together to do many new things (for Caden) and of course eat lots of food!
While we were there we saw a parade and did lots of shopping (mostly the window kind) :) Caden went to a marionette puppet show and saw the Little Drummer Boy. We also went bowling and ice skating, which were both firsts for Caden. He loved all of these! When we went ice skating and he first tried walking to the ice rink, he could barely stand but before we left he was walking on them like a pro! I could not believe how fast he picked up on how to walk in them. Now ice skating itself was a different story. Daddy mainly just pushed him around the rink but he still had a blast! The night we went bowling, we were there til midnight and he was so excited to push the ball down the alley and then watch and wait for the ball to return! (He of course was running on overdrive with all the family and cousins there to pay attention to him and chase and tickle him).
New Year's Eve was spent with the family at Jose's house. We had a big dinner, played music and sang songs with Caden dancing all around and had roasted marshmellows in the bonfire. Noah was a trooper through everything. Probably got a little spoiled while we were there too with everybody wanting to hold him and constantly give him attention. Most naps were taken on top of somebody and any little noise he would make at night I would immediately get up and nurse him back to sleep so that he would rest and not wake Caden up since we were all in the same room.
While we were there, we got to meet up with my old college roommates. Heather drove down to meet up with Natalie and I at a park. We had so much fun meeting eachothers kids and catching up. The older kids, DJ, Grace and Caden quickly became friends and had so much fun playing on the playground. William and Noah kinda just hung out, maybe next time they will be ready to play too! We will have to get together again soon to meet the 2 new little ones that are on their way. Heather is due in March and Natalie is due in July! How exciting!
It had been a year since the last time Caden was on an airplane so he doesn't remember being n one. He was so excited about flying on one and ever since coming back, he has been playing "airport". He separates an area for his planes and lines all the cars up to go through a gate to get into the airport. I guess this is because we left our car at the airport. It is very cute to watch and see his imagination take off. Both boys did very well on the plane. Noah slept most of the way there. Didn't do as well coming home but didn't scream the whole time either. :) So overall, I guess his first airplane experience went well. Caden played with his cars and his leappad and did great!
While vacations are fun and its great to be around the people we miss, it is nice to come back home to the everyday schedules and the normal 3 year old and 6 month old "quietness" of our house.
