First Ski Trip and First Christmas!!

Dylan's first ski trip was awesome! As you can see from this pic, Dylan enjoyed every bit of it. We stayed in a 1 bedroom 1 bath bi-level condo which had about 3 steps from the living room up to the back end of the condo. Well, he loved climbing up and down the steps and did it pretty gracefully, really. He also loved hanging out with his cousins Tyler, Tanner, and Jenna. Oh, and he, as well as everyone else, LOVED Gran's cooking!!!!

Dylan's 1st snow...it snowed somewhere between 2 - 3 feet while we were there (Mesa, CO @ Powderhorn Resort). We had to shovel snow off of our porch and sidewalk every morning. The snow was great for a ski vacation, but I think we all decided that we would not want to have to live in the snow for any significant length of time. It was COLD!!!

Dylan's first Christmas...Christmas a little bit different this year because it was our (Mine, Laura, and Dylan's) first time to spend Christmas Day away from home. We had Christmas at "the Hampton's" before we left for CO. It was great!!! Then, we got back to the Chapman's for Christmas on Saturday the 27th, where we found that Santa Claus had found all three of us! Needless to say, we all received great gifts. Of course, Dylan's favorite part of opening presents was the paper and boxes. And, Laura's and my favorite part of Christmas was getting to spend so much QT with family!!! It was another Christmas to remember!

Dylan's first plane ride...I almost forgot because it went so smoothly, Dylan flew on an airplane for his first time. And, he was spectacular! Our flight was delayed about 2 hours due to weather. So, we spent just enough time at the airport to wear Dylan out. We barely more got boarded onto the plane before D-Mo was rubbing his eyes. Our flight was 2 hours long. Dylan slept from just before take-off until after we landed. He woke up one time on our descent. His ears bothered him just enough to wake up, but as soon as we gave him pacifier, which La knew would help him adjust his ear pressure, he went right back to sleep. He was perfect...like always!! :)
