Cade's 1st Very Merry Christmas

It was a very Merry Christmas indeed! In the morning as we were waiting for Brad to get up, Cade & I were playing.... all of a sudden Cade started sitting up on his own! He had never done that before! I think he was secretly waiting to show us on Christmas so it could be his gift to us:) Once Brad woke up, we showed him Cade's new trick and then it was onto the gifts! Cade loves his new chair from his uncle Chris, aunt Aimee, and cousin Brennan. Doesn't he look just like a little man in this picture?

Chewy & Penny got gifts too!

This was Cade's first gift. The Baby Einstein sign language DVD. He had fun trying to tear the wrapping paper. Then he kept putting it in his mouth:)

"Yay! I got all the paper off!"

Such a great helper!

A toy piano!

I think he likes it!

Brad & I kept saying it was so neat how the dogs sat with us the entire time. They must've known it was family time:)

Next gift... keep 'em coming...

Daddy was excited for this one!

This turned out to be Cade's favorite gift.

Here's the loot....


Cade loved to kick the penguin and watch him pop right back up. You'll see a video if you keep scrolling down!

He got this cool walker too! Santa brought it for him:)

After we were done with Christmas at our house, we headed over to Brent & Dana's house to do gifts with the kiddos - Skylar & Will - Cade's cousins.

Here's Skylar! Cade is opening one of her gifts... thanks Sky & Will!

Then, we headed over to the beach house - Brad's Grandma's house.

Nice view, eh? It was a bit cold, so we weren't outside for too long.

Merry 1st Christmas, Baby! You are the best gift your daddy & I could ever receive!

Sofia & Cade were both in their Christmas outfits. They looked so cute! Unfortunately, we couldn't get a great picture, but these will have to do.

Grammer & Cade... this ball she gave was a big hit with Cade.

Cade loves his Grammer! He kept smiling at her and wouldn't take his eyes off of her.

We had such a long day that the poor little guy fell asleep on Daddy before the party was even over.

Cheese! Cade was still asleep but we still snuck in a picture with G-G-Ma!

And last, but not least.... here you can see Cade in action with his favorite toy.

Merry 1st Christmas, my Love! We hope you had a great day! Mommy & Daddy love you more than we could have thought possible. Thank you for being our son.
