Santa Day

Today was Santa Day! The day started well, with Kasen sleeping almost 12 hours straight Saturday night! I was worried, and went to check on him when I woke up. Here is what I found:

A few hours later I heard some baby talking coming from his room, and I found this:

We took off that dirty diaper...

And put on a clean outfit for the big day.

Then it was time for a breathing treatment.

And then a little playing. (Kasen's current favorite game is to roll himself up in a blanket & make his way over to the Christmas tree to try to pull ornaments.)

Then Kasen had a bottle & jumped on the couch.

Next, we went to church... Where Kasen did NOT want to cooperate. Mom spent the first half of the service entertaining Kasen in the hall & dad took over for the second half. Kasen even took a nap for daddy.
After church, we headed to the mall! We had to wait for Trey's mommy & daddy to get him there....

Trey finally made it, but Santa was taking a long break. Since we had a few hours to kill, we headed over for lunch at The Cheesecake Factory. While we waited for a table, Kasen gave Trey his Christmas present.

At the table, daddy taught Kasen how to drink from a cup. A new obsession has now been formed...

We all headed over to the looooooooooong line for Santa, where Trey & Kasen played.

Finally - time to meet the big man himself!
Trey went first...

Then they had to share his lap...

Finally, Kasen's big moment arrived - he had Santa all to himself! And just look at how happy he was!




He couldn't leave without showing him how to suck his thumb though...





The day ended with another nap on the way home, a final bottle, a bath, a breathing treatment, and then an exhausted, fussy Kasen drifted off to sleep in his bed. It was a great day! Thanks for sharing it with us.
