Sawyer's 2nd Thanksgiving + Meeting with Santa

I am so behind on posts so I thought I would do a joint blog on Thanksgiving and our recent trip to meet Santa. Thanksgiving was excellent, got to spend it with my family and some of John's family (unfortunately not all) but I can't say the same for meeting Santa. We had a wonderful time getting to spend the day with John's mom, dad, sister, brother-in-law and our new nephew Kadien but Sawyer was NOT a fan of Mr. Claus. We did get a pretty cute photo that will be perfect to show his future girlfriends!

Kaiden + Sawyer

Sawyer welcomed his first cousin Kaiden to the world about 9 weeks ago and is really loving him!! Cindy (John's sister) and I are really looking forward to having our little guys play and grow up together. This past weekend, we were able to get them together for some pictures in matching outfits that their Grandma bought them. Even though Kaiden is too little to sit up, the photos still turned out cute. Sawyer couldn't stop kissing on him, it was so adorable!

Kaiden Lunch Date

Nothing like snuggling with my new nephew on lunch! Cindie, John, Kaiden, Grandpa Sam and I all met for lunch at Imo's this afternoon. It was so great to get to see them all and love on Mr. Kaiden! He slept the whole time but did make some pretty adorable little squeaks for us!

Little peanut is here

Welcome Mr. Kaiden!!

John's sister and brother-in-law welcomed their first child Kaiden Michael yesterday June 5 at 3:49 pm. He was 7 lbs. 2 oz. and 19 inches long. Momma & baby are doing great!!! He is so adorable!! John and I are so excited to be an uncle & aunt for the first time! sawyer is still a little apprehensive about the whole thing but I can foresee lots of fun cousin times ahead. Congrats Rob & Cindie!! I can't believe I didn't get even one picture of Kaiden with his dad, more to come for sure!

Our guesses on when he was coming and how big.
