Another great Christmas for the books!

Christmas 2014 was awesome, just a great time with our beloved friends and family. We spent one week with my family, one week with Mitchell's family, one night in Austin without Logan, with several hours of travel in between. Overall the trip went really, really well. Logan adjusted to sleeping in three different places much easier than I thought he would. I think if you just run them to exhaustion then it's easier to get them to sleep wherever, haha. I have learned that Logan wakes up at night and normally puts himself right back to sleep but in a new place, he gets disoriented and cries for us. I had his pack-n-play right next to the bed at night so whenever that happened I'd just "shh" him and he'd lay back down and go back to sleep. There were a few hard moments as I had two minor colds and Logan got a cold that resulted in a fever, coughing and lots of snot. He slept in our bed for a little bit of the night and I learned that co-sleeping with a toddler = no sleeping for me.

Here are some of the highlights in pictures:
