Christmas 2009

Chad — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 00:00:02 +0000

After two weeks and 6 meals celebrating, we finally put away our Christmas decorations today.

This year was pretty expensive but well worth it. Highlights include:

1 laptop, a netbook, a Nintendo Wii, 5 Wii games, 7 seasons of Married with Children, 1 kitchen set, a toddler tool bench and a whole bunch of baby clothes.

We even got a baby sitter for New Year’s but had to cut our evening short to take the dog to the emergency vet. Apparently he is among the many dachshunds who have epilepsy.

When we were visiting my family for Christmas we also discovered that Kaden likes to play the piano.

I go back to work on Monday.

Kaden Dancing

Laura taught him everything he knows.

Turkey Day

We celebrated Thanksgiving twice this year by having our own dinner Wednesday and with Laura’s mom and family Thursday. There wasn’t much excitement except for a mean game of dominos with her grandparents.

Laura always wanted to camp out for Black Friday so last night we slept in the Best Buy parking and got her a $700 laptop for $500.The savings we received was immediately spent on a warranty.

She gets to fly to LA Tuesday for a filming of Judge Judy and will be back Thursday.

Laura’s Birthday

Laura’s birthday was Friday so we got to eat out plenty of times this weekend. We skipped presents this year since she wants a laptop for Christmas, but she did get her favorite kind of birthday cake.

Halloween

We decided not to trick-or-treat this year since Laura and I do not eat candy and Kaden is too young for it. I worked most of the weekend so we didn’t hand any out either.

Laura carved Kaden’s pumpkin and her car ended up getting vandalized in the middle of the night. She came down with the flu Sunday and I have a lot to do at work so this week looks pretty uneventful as well.

Kaden’s Vacation with Grandma

Chad — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 04:03:01 +0000

Kaden visited his Grandma and Grandpa for a few days this weekend which included 2 days playing with kids at Jane’s Daycare. He had a great time but had to come home since I missed him.

We had an addition to our family yesterday which was one of the items on Laura’s list of things she’s always wanted. Read what Laura has to say about him on Shiny Duck.

Kaden likes him but wasn’t too thrilled about the shots he received at his 18 month checkup.

Sandbox

Kaden had fun playing in the sandbox this weekend with his cousins, so he spent quite a bit of time today in ours.
