Bix's 2nd Holiday Celebration(s)

We had a great holiday down in Texas with GiGi and PopPop. Although we packed the carry-on bag to the brim with all sorts of toys and food to distract Bix on the plane, he surprised us by sleeping the entire time - both ways! Of course we had hoped and planned the flights for his nap time....but he is such a curiuos lad we thought we might be in for quite a ride. But no...he fell asleep both times on the runway and woke up in Texas right before we landed and after we landed on the flight home. So I guess lugging the 30 pound carry-on wasn't necessary....but you just never know.

Bix was charming as always. He had a great time playing with GiGi, PopPop, Uncle Nate, and Aunt Aly. He awoke Christmas morning to find the coolest ride on, sound making dump-truck by the fireplace from Santa - Thanks Santa! This was a huge hit. There was lots of love to go around, but I will say that Bix adores his grandmas. They are always at the top of the list and GiGi became Bix's favorite go to snuggler.

Hey PopPop....you have something above your ear.

This is a fun ride.

One last gotcha!
Then we were on the plane again and back in LA where we celebrated Christmas and Grandad Oscars Birthday. Uncle Bill and Alex (and girlfriend Kristen even stopped by for dinner. We even got to have breakfast with Auntie Carrie and Keii. Nana and Grandad took Bix to the park in the afternoon and gave mommy and daddy some much needed quiet time to relax. We left at night and arrived home to a very cold house and lots of rain. We celebrated the coming of the new year with great friends and are looking forward to a weekend of sunshine.

Wow...all this fun and excitement has really tuckered me out!
