Pictures with Santa

Keagan liked sitting with Santa...he asked Santa for his two front teeth!

keags really liked Santa's beard and nose

"Santa I promise I will be good...well, I'll try at least!"

Lights of Christmas

Sunday night when we were in Seattle, we drove to Warm Beach Christian Camps & Conference Center, in Stanwood WA to see the Lights of Christmas.

The lights were beautiful and there were lots to see!

off to see the beautiful lights

keags was snuggled up with daddy and stayed nice and toasty warm!

I must say...that cutest gingerbread man I've seen!

keagan had his face painted

this guy was amazing he worked so fast and had so much detail...nich asked him if he could do santa going down the chimney with his feet sticking out...he just started painting away, then we asked him if he had any weird request...he said ya...someone wanted a badger with a bloody chainsaw! that's the holiday spirit!

i love it...he looks so cute!

picture perfect

we were almost done with the lights...I looked over at keags and he was done! he had seen enough!

keagan's first trip to seattle

SLC airport, getting ready for our flight!

keagan did so good on the flight. he was tired and hungry waiting to board the plane(delta airlines doesn't pre-board anymore...lame huh!) everyone kept looking at us and smiling(i knew what they were thinking..."great screaming baby the whole flight!") but keags ate then fell asleep and sleep almost the whole way, he woke up just as we were landing!

nana and papa were so excited to see little keags

auntie gram and great gram were excited too

his cousins couldn't get enough of him...

except iAN, he didn't like him at first but then warmed up to him

aVERY kept telling me she was going to be a "babysitter" when she was older and she would babysit keags for me! I think she is going to make a fabulous babysitter!

OFF TO THE MARKET

I so miss pike's market, the smell of fresh fish, the chaos, the random people and their music, like this guy...

Christmas sawngs by Sawnta!! ha ha...nich loved him :)

keags eyeballing all the pasta in the Italian store

nich teaching keags the importance of a good bottle of olive oil! man look at that kids cheeks!

cute sleeping baby

all tuckered out from his big party on Saturday, he met lots and lots of people...Thanks nana and papa for the party it was really nice to see everyone!

WoW...our baby is growing up so fast!! Keagan is such a good baby, he is starting to laugh and talk lots more. He is so much fun! We went in for is four month check up, the doctor said he looks great! He only had to get two shots this time(thank heavens for Pentacel) Dr P and his nurse each did one shot at the same time...poor keags was laying on the table happy as can be until, he got both shots...his arms slammed down on the table and he started screaming...poor little guy!! But he's tough and recovered fast!
