It's still 2007 as we write... Christmas was simply excellent. We spent time with family, Raymond travelled like the little travel pro he is and we kept comfy and warm in the company of family and friends. The trip felt a little too short this time... Unable to meet up with many friends this time around and we regretted it when it was time to fly back to Arizona. We promise to see EVERYONE in 2008. Our friends and family are SO important to us...
Raymond got his 2nd tooth 2 days after we found the first one. It was interesting to have a teething baby on vacation, but overall, it all went very well.
For Christmas, Raymond received lots of clothes, toys and other neat things. His favorite things include the DRUM & BALL from Auntie Alicia & Uncle-to-Be Lance... And Alicia knitted this awesome big blue blankie Raymond sleeps with every night! He received a neato BABY EINSTEIN DVD from Auntie Cassie so he can learn some more sign language and items in the house! Also, Great-Gramma & Grampa gave Raymond a WOODEN XYLAPHONE, BEAD TOY and STAINLESS STEEL SIPPY CUPS! Great-Uncle Dennis & Aunt Kathy gave him a SLOTTED SHAPES TOY which he loves, too! Great-Unlce Chuck & Aunt Nancy gave him a neato BOOK & COLLEGE MONEY! And he got a PILE OF CUTE CLOTHES from Great-Uncle Rick & Aunt Debby... Oh, and more COLLEGE $$ and a STUFFED TURTLE from Grandma & Grandpa W. What a Christmas!!!
The BIGGEST present came from Raymond's Gramma & Grampa D. A ROCKING HORSE! Oh, what fun it was for him to open & play with his presents! (And the wrapping paper, too, of course!)
Raymond would like to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to all who gave him Christmas presents -- many I haven't even mentioned, but still count! It all was greatly appreciated, as were the nice Christmas Cards...
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Everyone!!!
