Andrew's 1st Christmas

We spent Andrew's first Christmas morning at our house opening presents.  He really got into tearing the paper, and of course, he also tried to eat a lot of it.  We had a difficult time getting him interested in any other presents once he already had the first one opened.  His favorite toys were a dinosaur ball pit, and his red wagon.  We also celebrated Christmas at both sets of grandparents' houses, and even Andrew's great-grandmother's house.  By the time we got to the last Christmas celebration, he was an old pro at the present thing--and he was also quite worn out!  

Our Family Vacation in Hawaii

Josh planned a work trip to Oahu in December, and Andrew and I got to tag along!  It was a great family vacation for us.  Andrew did surprisingly well on the very long plane ride to and from Hawaii.   While we were there, we hiked Diamond Head, spent some time at the beach, and did a little bit of shopping. Andrew wasn't too crazy about the ocean (we think the noise of the waves scared him a little), but he did love swimming in the pool!  He also tried pineapple for the first time, and loved it!
