Aaron's First Christmas

Now that Christmas is almost a month behind us, I guess it is time to update everyone with stories and pics from our first Christmas with Aaron. I have a lot to catch up on, so I guess I will start with coming back from Thanksgiving in Pittsburgh. As you know, we all came back from spending Thanksgiving with Caleb's family in Pittsburgh. A couple days later, Caleb flew back up to Pittsburgh for work for 4 weeks. It was suppose to be a 3 week project, but they asked him to come back for a fourth week. He was able to come home on weekends, thankfully. Surprisingly, the 4 weeks went better than either one of use expected. I spent most of the time going back and forth between High Point and mom and dad's in Charlotte. It was nice to have the company and help, but it was also exhausting. Aaron and I got off our schedule which was especially hard at night. Being out of his own bed, and with other's around at night, sleeping through the night was not happening. Thankfully, that has changed now and we are sleeping through the night again!!! After 3 weeks of going back and forth and missing Caleb we took a trip to my grandmothers in GA. Caleb flew into Greensboro Friday night and I drove up from Charlotte to pick him up. We then went to Dixon Hughes Christmas dinner and enjoyed a good meal as we waited for Caleb's luggage to catch up to him. After the dinner we drove back to Charlotte and left Saturday morning for my Grandmothers. We had a good time with my family and was so glad that my parents and Brian and Jen were able to go with us. First thing Tuesday morning, Caleb flew back to Pittsburgh and I hung out with my parents a few more days. Friday before Christmas Caleb was home and had two weeks off!!! Caleb and work negotiated his time off. He origianlly was suppose to have time off earlier, but we changed our trip to my grandmothers and he got 2 weeks off. It actully worked better for us changing his time off. We spend the 2 weeks with family around Christmas, but most of it relaxing at home as we all faught off different bugs. Thankfully we are healthy for now.
