Home for the Holidays! (Part 1)

Here are some pics from our recent trip to Houston. I didn't take too many myself so there will be additional posts with pictures taken by Candace A-yi and Yeye & Nainai! :) We were able to spend two whole weeks in Texas and had a great time seeing everyone! Aaron also got to meet Chengho A-gu, who he had fun high-fiving and stealing food from. Hope to see everyone again soon!

This first picture is from a play date with Abby jiejie and Elliott didi. I only remembered to take one picture :P Here Aaron is with Elliott didi and Uncle Matt! For additional (and better) pictures, see Abby's blog and Elliott's blog.

Although we didn't take any pictures during the actual road trip, here is a picture of Aaron while we are waiting for Daddy at Home Depot. You get the picture... he was a trooper both on the way down to Texas and all the way back up to Chicago! We were extremely thankful not to have a screaming baby for 20 hours each way. :P Yay Aaron!

At least I remembered to take pictures Christmas Day! In the morning, we were at Ama and Agong's house with Candace A-yi and Chengho A-gu. It seems Aaron only needs one present every year. After he opened his Legos, we were hardly able to get him to open any more!

Aaron is excited! Until...

he is momentarily distracted by music playing from his baby dance DVD.

Agong lures him back and Aaron attempts to open his first Christmas present!

What can it be??

Legos!!

In the afternoon, we went to Yeye and Nainai's house! Aaron also had fun hanging out with Uncle Jason and his family for a little bit. :)

Aaron gets a little help from Nainai opening his presents.

... and starts to do pretty well on his own!

More to come! Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
