Visitors

01.25.12 - 02.07.12
The other set of grandparents (bill's family) were not able to be here for the birth of our son... traveling from Pennsylvania during holiday season can be a little pricey. So instead they came out just after the new year. Along with their visit Bill's bestie Amy from Texas also came into town the same weekend. Needless to say Aiden got to meet quite a few important people right before his 2 month mark. Thankfully his baby ache cleared up just in time and his colic was under control as the visitors all got here.

We spent the weekend with Amy and here family up in Riverside/Corona area where we took the little guy to Tom's Farms. It was pretty neat after that we had a small bbq back at their house. It was so fun being with Amy and her family, They all just adored Aiden. Jaxson (Amy's son) and Aiden are going to be the best of buds!

While Al & Sharon (the other set of grandparents) were in town we spent most to the days just hanging out at home with Aiden. I got to do some much need errands and had some "me time" while grandma sharon enjoyed cuddle time with the baby. We did have some fun going to the Aquarium of the Pacific as a BIG family.....Al, Sharon, Bill, Mia, Aiden, Don, Kristin & Daniel all spent the day there feeding bat rays and watching sea lions perform. Afterwards we had a wonderful lunch at a near by restaurant called "Schooner or Later" right there on the waterfront.

we made a trip down to seal beach and walked the pier and had some lunch it's one thing sharon loves to do when visiting good old california.

For SuperBowl Sunday we had a small family gathering bbq-ing and watching the game. Daniel my nephew helped me pick some avocados and then helped Bill make some Guacamole to go with the festivities!

One night we met up with sharon's cousins and had a great dinner at Buca di Beppos. It's always fun getting together with family. **side note: I was asked if i were the nanny because i look so young and that i didn't look like i just had a baby** it was awesome!

The main reason The Grandparents came to visit besides meeting Aiden for the 1st time was to be here for his Blessing in our Church (LDS) which was so great to have both our families in attendance.

Aiden: Baby Blessing

Aiden Douglas was blessed at church (we are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) on February 5, 2012. It was so wonderful to have most of our families there for this big occasion. My dad was the one who gave the blessing, he did such a beautiful job.

It was a very emotional day for me especially to see my son being blessed and then to see my husband bare his testimony was truely a blessing in and of its self. Little Aiden was so well behaved for the blessing i was such a proud momma, it wasn't till after the blessing that Aiden decided to soil his diaper thank goodness!  Afterwards my parents hosted a luncheon at their home. It was so nice to eat and visit with so many close friends and family.

A HUGE thank you to all the family and friends that traveled to be here with us today for our sweet little family!
