1st Christmas and a New Year!

It has been a busy three weeks for us but a whole lot of fun. Christmas in Chicago was great. So much fun and Aidan must have been good this year because he got spoiled completely. We rang in the new year and our fourth Anniversary at my cousin Kerry's wedding. Her and Chris had a beautiful wedding and a great party. We left New Year's Day to come back to London and even though the flight was really bumpy Aidan slept like a champ. We were hoping that he'd be immune to jet lag but he has been getting up every night bright eyed and bushy tailed wanting to play...so we are working on getting him back to his 10 hour a night sleep schedule. We shall see. Here are some photo highlights:

Everyone on Christmas. Good thing Aidan wore green to break up the Addams Family thing we had going on.

He had an outfit change to play Santa for our first year doing a Yankee Swap.


Sporting a new Christmas present from Uncle Sean.

Another Christmas present, but a less provocative one from Grandma and Grandpa. Unfortunately it was a bit too big to pack so it will be waiting for him in Chicago. Al calls it "Islands of Adventure".

We managed to have a siblings night out at one of Al's favorite Chicago spots, The Twin Anchors. These are three of the 12 mini pulled pork sandwiches that were ordered.

Aidan's first swim! I thought it started next week so I was a bit unprepared. Thankfully Jess let us borrow Mia's swimsuit to keep Aidan warm in the class. We were the only two in the class until a little girl showed up with her Nanny 15 minutes in. He did great though...no tears getting in or out of the pool. I'm hoping that the swim will help him to start sleeping through the night again. We shall see...
