Happy 2010, everybody! Here are some pictures of our Christmas, which was so much fun now that Aidan is a little older and his concept of Christmas (and the gifts that go along with it) has solidified! His ability to tear into present after present was quite impressive! Each box was followed by an expressive "WOW, COOL!" then "LET's PLAY WITH IT NOW!" Below you can see he got a surprise visit from Santa on Christmas Eve--and only stopped jumping long enough to sit on his lap and tell him what he wanted for Christmas.

made with a lot of love =]
Grampy set up his electric train in their garage--and of course Aidan wants to do it "over and over and over" again!
And here are a few more recent pictures from January- above, replanting our orange tree in a bigger pot (yes, we are attempting to grow an orange tree in foggy SF-- Carina's crazy plan), and below, Aidan's first time bowling at his friend Julian's 3rd birthday party!

And the best part, Aidan's most recent quote that melted our hearts: "You're my best friend, Mommy!" James was quickly reassured that Daddy was his best friend too.
