We took a trip to Texas for Noah's first Christmas to visit Christa's family. We had such a good time and it was SOOO HARD to leave. Noah had a WHITE Christmas and the snow was a very nice change from the Arizona bright & bubbly sunny winter weather. 
He LOVED being around so many people to love him and got all the attention a baby could ever ask for! He got to see Great-Grandpa's and Great-Grandma's, 3rd Cousins and Coworkers....it was like Show-and-Tell and Noah was the star! 
He was more interested in eating the wrapping paper but after we got the toys put together for him he had a great time playing and learning new things!
Meme and Pearpaw worked on teaching him how to "motorboat" and he is getting better and better at it! Grandpa Wes was able to get him to sleep TWICE in a row without a fuss!
For Christmas dinner we had Turkey, Roast, the best dressing in the universe (it has sausage and apples in it!), and of course, pumpkin pie. Noah feasted on Squash and tried Sweet Peas for the first time, and he LOVED them!
It was such a good week for all of us, we didnt care too much for the LONG LONG drive and think we may stick to flying from now on - lesson learned! But other than that, it was a perfect Christmas and I know it will always be one to remember. It was so hard to pack up and come home but I just have to remember that thats just the way it is and we have to do the best we can to stay connected and visit often.
He'd rather EAT his santa hat then wear it.....
And below is our best attempt to take a 'family' photo! HA! Silly dog...
