We had a fun and family-filled Christmas this year for Caden's first Christmas! Friday night we got together with Wade's older sister, Angie, and her family for the Tapp-only Christmas. We had THE most delicious dinner of a turkey Wade's dad cooked in the deep fryer, homemade macaroni & cheese, mashed potatoes, corn & green beans. I ate way way too much!
Here is Caden riding his new toy (it can be a stand-up push toy or this riding toy) with his big cousin Dylan (in 4th grade).
Christmas Eve, we had a low-key day and then went to church with my dad, and my aunt/uncle/cousins (the Steele crew), along with David's fiancee Rebeca & her family.
On Christmas morning, the Tapps came over to our house for present opening. We enjoyed a great breakfast of sausage & egg casserole & fruit that Joli brought.

Later in the afternoon we all went to the Steeles' house for Christmas dinner. We had more or less a repeat of Thanksgiving dinner (attendance-wise) with about 21 people! It was a little chaotic, but again had great food with flank steak, twice baked potatoes, mandarin orange salad, some awesome green beans, and a delicious ice cream dessert.
Have you ever seen a face cuter than this? I dare say, you have not :).
Here is Caden taking a spin on his new rocking horse from Aunt Laurie. The happy, open-mouth grin in full effect :).
Today, we celebrated Christmas with the Harts (dad's sister & family) & Uncle Jeff at Hillary's house. I failed to get any pictures of that, but just repeat fun, family, gifts & good food :).
