Christmas 2011

On December 23rd we took Kane to see Santa.  As you can tell, he had a great time.  No crying at all, he enjoyed his visit with the big guy.
I gotta say, I was super excited about his new tricycle, Kane was less so.  There is a smile here but when we actually put him in it there was nothing but tears.  He was due for a nap, and we were inside, let's hope things go better when we take her out for a spin.

The Camelbak, on the other hand, was a hit.  He loved Jon's so we got him a Kane-sized one.

He squealed when he saw it and pretty much finished the bottle in one sitting.
The stacking cups from Jon's cousin Adam and his wife Stephanie were a hit.  The car rocker wasn't really...hopefully he will grow to love it.

Kane loved to watch Jon build the tower and then would knock it over.
Kane LOVES books, so this book was a hit, no surprise here.  He will sit in his room by himself and just flip through all the books on his bookshelf.  I truly hope his love of books continues.

The gift from Aunt Bobbie Jo, Rodger, Jack, and Erin was a hit as well.  Kane pretty much tried to figure out how to work the stacking cups into this toy so he could have them all together.  
Just before he went down for his nap, Kane decided he wanted to sit in the dishwasher.  Such a character.  

We hope all reading our blog had a wonderful Christmas!  Happy New Year!  We look forward to sharing our "Raising Kane" adventures!

On the move...

Kane will do laps around the house with his toy.  He takes a few steps on his own but the walker really allows him to gain some speed.

This past weekend we  headed to Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake to see the Christmas lights.  They have over 250 animated light displays but what got Jon interested was the deep fried s'mores.  Kane is totally obsessed with lights right now.  Our good friends the Jimenez's are moving to California over the holiday season and we figured this would be a good way to celebrate the season.  It was sooo cold but tons of fun!
Kane was bundled up better than all of us, glad we brought his snowsuit!
We saw this cool light display...
The frogs were pretty cute too.

Kane got to stand with the big boys!
We had to stop at this cute train before we left.
At the end of the night we have tired Kane with some deep fried s'more on his mouth and daddy with the crazy eyes.  We had a fantastic night overall, I will be wearing my "boots with the fur" next year though!
