Aiden’s First Plane Ride

Last week we were able to make a trip to Tennessee to visit with a whole bunch of family! It was Aiden’s first time on an airplane, and I have to say, he was a very pleasant passenger.

It was also his first time to see snow, but this hardly counted because it was so little, you can’t even see it in the picture. If you look really hard, you can see one tiny flake near his left foot.

Aiden saw his Great Grandpa and Grandma Hanson; Great Uncle Denis & Aunt Nora; Grandma and Grandpa Snow; uncles and aunts Kevin, Emily, Jon, Whitney, Matthew, Stephani, Sarah, and Teresa; and cousins Grace, Anne, and Oberlin! It was quite the party.

Many of these family members he was meeting for the first time, and I thought he was pretty friendly. He wasn’t a big fan of hanging out in the play yard, regardless of whether he had a cousin there to play with him.

In general, they seemed to get along though. :) Can you tell which one is 27 days older?

We had lots of fun playing games, talking, visiting the zoo, seeing some Memphis sights, and just enjoying one another’s company.

It was a great trip, and while it is nice to be home, it is sad to have to go back to work and get right into the daily grind again. Thanks to our gracious hosts and to everyone who tolerated our CA internal clocks and sleep schedules.

Happy New Year! May 2011 bring us all many more great memories!
