Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all! We have had such a fun and exciting month. We celebrate Beckett's first Christmas quietly, with dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Johnson on Christmas Eve. Beckett loved being at their house and exploring their stairs, chairs and coffee table. We opened presents on Christmas morning, and Beckett enjoyed the boxes and wrapping paper. 
He got uber-spoiled by his Grandparents. Lucky duck. Nathan and I both enjoyed our Christmas morning, and Nathan surprised me with a new Canon Rebel XTi SLR camera. I had absolutely NO idea that it had been sitting under our Christmas tree for a month. I love it, and subsequently have taken over 600 pictures. That's one reason there are so many pictures in this post. 
This is Nathan and Beckett being excited about my camera.We went to Dan and Paula's for Christmas dinner and Beckett again racked in the presents. It was such a wonderful day, and we're so blessed to have our California family here to celebrate with.

Lovin' on Auntie PThe day after Christmas (aka. Boxing Day for you Canadians) we packed up and left at 8:30pm on a flight to Dallas. We traveled ALL night, and got to our hotel at 4:00am central time. Beckett did really well, but didn't sleep an ounce until we got OFF the plane. What a guy. We spent two fantabulous days in Dallas with Nathan's family, and one highlight was meeting Miss Lydia Roberts. Beckett had fun trying to poke her in the eye (as evidenced in this picture).
We finished the trip off with a wedding. Forrest and Elin got married on Saturday, December 29th. It was a beautiful wedding, they both looked amazing, and are so happy and perfect together. We love Elin and are so excited that she's part of our family.
Sunday morning brought a whole other adventure with our trip back, but fortunately Beckett slept on the trip home. He was pretty tuckered out. It was nice to be back and for Beckett to be on a schedule again.
New Years was quiet as well, and we celebrated with a fondue pot and a game of Settlers, (which we were so involved in that we missed welcoming in the new year by an hour). We were hard core and stayed up till 1:00 am. That's right, baby.
