Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Sorry it's been so long since I posted last!  I got busy for a few weeks and then we were out of town for almost a whole month in December/January.  We decided to take full advantage of Orie's 3 week break from school and spent a lot of time with family.  It was so fun!  We went out to California to visit my sister and her family and had the best visit ever.  We love their family and miss them so much.  We flew back on December 22nd, threw some more (warmer) clothes into our suitcases, loaded up the car and left the next day for Arkansas.  After two wonderful weeks with family and friends in Arkansas we decided we were finally ready to head home to Texas.  I think Aiden was the most excited to get home...he missed his crib :)

Here are some pics from our trips...

My sis, Jessica, and I with our kiddos.  Her little girl, Cambria, is SO adorable! 
Aiden was born exactly two weeks after Cambria. 
This picture cracks me up because Aiden is so big-he is my chunky monkey!

Aiden with his cousins...

Orie and I had fun with my nephews, Boston and Dallin.
We even spent an afternoon building a fort...

We made a sign for their fort...they were so proud!


Dallin is the funniest kid...while we were out there he decided the line "Not today Zurg" from Toy Story 2 was the funniest thing ever.  He kept asking us to say it over and over again and then he would mimick us.  Here he is on camera...

Aiden tried his first cereal while we were out there.  He did great!

Yummy!

Sharing toys with his cousin...he even left his monkey for her :)

Aiden opening his first Christmas present at Grandma and Grandpa Quinn's. 
He had a blast pulling out all the tissue paper (and mom had fun trying to keep him from eating it!)

A very yummy bow...

Aiden already loves books-he grabs then out of your hands and sticks his face in them.  So funny!

Aiden with Grandma Quinn

We went out one night for cupcakes and to see the lights at Fayetteville Square. 
It was SO nice to be home in Arkansas!!


I was so excited to watch Aiden discover the Christmas tree........
He was more interested in the tree skirt.  Lol.

We went bowling with my family-Aiden was SO into it :)
Good thing Nana Klakring was happy to hold him so we could bowl!

Aiden LOVES his Uncle Taylor! 

*Sigh*
Give me an old fashioned Christmas, an old fashioned Christmas...

And on our way home...a gorgeous sunset to welcome us to Texas :)
