Christmas Eve '09

Christmas Eve was spent at Uncle Luke's and Aunt Jill's with Ben, Alec and Ty. We did the Randall Family tradition of San Francisco sourdough waffles with strawberries and green whip cream. Very festive. We played some games and let the kids exchange cousin gifts. They had a great time. Best quote of the night, after Cade opened his "bendaroos"......."I've been waiting for these my whole life!" It was a great night and we are so happy to have family to share holidays with!

Later we opened one gift, a Byram family tradition, and all put on our new PJ's. Incidentally, we didn't take them off at all on Christmas day. The Christmas day photos were all taken with my new camera, so once I figure it out I will post more! We had a fantastic day and hope you all enjoyed yours too!

Where have the last 7 years gone? Today my baby boy is 7 and as I watched him this morning tears came to my eyes. What a blessing Cade has been in our family. He has grown into such a good kid. He is very kind to his sisters and very protective of them. When Annie was sick he asked every single day when she was coming home. He loves to play with Molly and make her giggle. He has been great fun. I love watching him play sports. He has such a competitive spirit, wonder where that came from! I love playing the Wii with him, even when he tells me I'm not very good! I love his fun personality and his amazing laugh; hearing it makes me laugh. Happy Birthday Cade! I love you.
