Whew! Even though it wasn’t our normal amount of travel, it was a lot… and we managed to make it without incident. Cole got to meet many of his Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins on both sides of the family and boy were they all excited to see him. He even got to meet one of his Great Grandpas. It’s amazing how a new baby can unite a family 
Hopefully Opa will be feeling better tomorrow so we can see him.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Twas the night before Christmas and baby Cole slept while his parents and grandparents got the Christmas tree prepped…
We had a pretty good day. The only real downer of the day was that we didn’t get to spend time with Grandma and Opa because Opa is sick. Hopefully it will pass quickly and we can see them again before the end of our trip. We spent the early part of the day hanging out at Nonni and Pappi’s where Cole got to read with Pappi, play on his new play mat, and do some tummy time with Nonni. This evening we had our traditional dinner with family in Hershey. Cole got to meet his Great Great Aunts Laura, Thalia, and Betty as well as his Great Great Uncle Paul. It was very cool seeing all of the generations together
Tomorrow should be a great day… Cole will get to meet lots of family and should enjoy all of the attention. Merry Christmas everyone!

Today was quite a busy day and Cole did pretty well overall. The next 3 days are going to be busy as well as we visit with family and friends. Melanie and I spent the night at the Marriott again last night while Cole spent the night at Nonni and Pappi’s. We picked him up this morning and then went to Alison’s for lunch where Megan swung by and visited us. Then we headed over to Grandma and Opa’s to visit with them for a bit (Cole was being a cranky pants there). We ended our day at Ommie and Jodie’s visiting with a bunch of friends. It’s always nice seeing everyone and it’s great having them meet Cole . Surprisingly Cole was a champ and made it to near 10pm before calling it a night. We’ll see how the next few days go.

Today was one of those firsts that every family has to go through with new babies… the first trip to see Santa. We dressed Cole up in his little reindeer outfit and took him to the local mall to see Santa, who btw didn’t seem to be in a great mood today. Cole was pretty ambivalent, which we expected. All in all we got a cute photo and that was about it. I didn’t bring my camera with me (I know, shocking isn’t it?), but I did grab a quick photo with my iPhone which you can see here: http://yfrog.com/4ics2kj. After seeing Santa we did some shopping (picked up some new outfits for him at Gap Kids and the Disney Store and got our annual family ornaments)
Once we got home I took a few photos of him in his Santa hat with another Christmas shirt on

As has become a tradition around our house, the weekend after Thanksgiving is when we begin decorating for Christmas. Today’s goal was to get the Christmas tree setup and decorated. We decided to go with a blue theme in honor of Cole turning 3 months old today (time is just flying!) and added in some silver and white to get some variety.
We also managed to sneak away for a date night tonight thanks to Melanie’s friend, Fran, who’s visiting from New York. Thanks Fran! We saw The Blind Side (really good movie) and had dinner at TXLC.
