December

04 January 2009 | Whatever

Where did December go? I guess that’s what happens when you have so much going on…it passes by before you know it.

Corbin started off the month by celebrated his first birthday on December 2nd. He’s now crawling, cruising, babbling constantly, pointing at objects and starting to look and act more like a toddler every day.

We attended Luke’s company holiday party at the US Grant on December 6th. The best part was not having a curfew thanks to my parents who cared for Corbin overnight. Yippy!

Christmas Eve we gathered at my parents house for a feast. We talked, ate, played games and just enjoy the evening. This year was particularly fun because Corbin could chase my nieces around and as well as just being more involved in general. We also played Pirates Cove for the first time with my family. They were all good sports and by the end I think they all enjoyed themselves and wouldn’t mind playing again.

Christmas morning we had lunch and opened presents at my brothers house. Time with my family went by too fast especially because we had to leave by 2pm to make it to Luke’s parents by dinner time. Sometimes sharing holidays is tough, but thankfully this year we made it to Apple Valley in record time. We were actually early for a change.

The rest of the week was spent with Luke’s family in Hesperia/Apple Valley. We were really hoping for snow, but it all melted by the time we arrived. Oh well. Family was the real reason for our visit and the grandparents and all the family loved spending time with Corbin (and us) and he (and us) loved the attention. All I can saw it that Corbin is one loved kid. When we weren’t being entertained by Corbin, we played games like Pirates Cove, Settlers of Catan, Phase 10 and Train (Dominos) as well as catching up on old and new news. Overall it was a fun and relaxing time.
