First Christmas and New Years

Asante's first Christmas was wonderful! We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas as a family, just Amar, Asante, Koda and me.  It was so much fun to see little Asante "playing" with all his toys.  He doesn't really play yet, but he is starting to reach out for things, and loves looking at all the lights and listening to the music his toys make.  I had the whole week between Christmas and New Years off; it was great to be able to spend so much time with Asante.  Gran and Aunt Ang got in town on the 28th.  Asante has changed so much since they were here for Thanksgiving.  We spent a lot of time just enjoying each others company.  On the 30th we went bowling and to the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner downtown to celebrate Andrea's birthday (she will be 20 on the 12th of January). Uncle Eric, and Aunt Kacy got in town on the 31st.  We were all so happy to see them; we haven't seen them since the end of August!! We spent New Year's eve at our house.  I made little snackies and everyone ate and drank their way into the new year.  We had family pictures taken on the 1st, thankfully JCPenny was open :-) After pictures Asante went down for a nap, and the rest of us opened presents.  Eric and Kacy had to fly back to Denver that evening.  I am back to work today, but Gran and Ang are staying here until the 3rd, so they get to spend the whole day with little man! Lucky :-)

Uncle Eric and Aunt Kacy gave us some surprising news while they were in town ..... They Got MARRIED! They went to Vegas over Christmas, and got married on Christmas Eve. We are so happy for them and are so excited to finally have Kacy in our family!
 
I didn't take that may photos while everyone was here, but here are a few.  I didn't get any with Uncle Eric and Aunt Kacy, which I very upset about!!
