We spent another Christmas on the East Coast this year. We missed our families so much but we made the best of it and went on some fun adventures.
Ayden had Santa Claus visit him at his preschool this year and he was pretty excited because it was "the real one". Ayden seems to have a super hero like ability to tell the "helpers" from the real Santa.
We all joined up with Dave and Rachel (Sean's co-resident and his cute girlfriend) and took the train to New York City to see the big tree. I honestly could not believe how many people were in the city the same night that we were. It was overwhelming to say the least.
In addition to seeing the tree, we took a trip to the huge Toys-r-us store that was Ayden's favorite. We also went to the top of 30 Rock and got a great view of the city.
Its not Christmas in Philly if you don't make a trip to Longwood Gardens. The Christmas decor was breathtaking!
We had a little gingerbread house competition at our house and Sean won. He is actually quite good!
Christmas eve was very quiet at our house. We had a quiet dinner at home then we let Ayden open all of his presents that came from Utah. He was so excited to get to play with some of his toys early. He got a new dart gun from his Grandma and Grandpa Schex, police outfit from his cousins and a microscope from Grandma and Grandpa Prisbrey. He was in heaven!
Christmas morning was equally exciting, yet I ended up having to wake Ayden up because HE SLEPT IN!!! I could not believe it. He was so excited to see all of the fun gifts waiting for him. Santa brought him a snowball blaster, r/c jeep and crayon maker.

Ayden is one lucky boy to have so a family that loves him so much. Your Florida trip sounds fantastic. Where were you in Florida? A trip away in the winter does wonders for the soul, doesn't it?
One request, hand the camera over to Sean once in a while. I want to see some pictures of you too!
Miss you Charise.
