Road Trips and Vacays...Aiden is a well-traveled 5 month old.

     The Remington Family met up for our first official family reunion in Lake Tahoe, NV.

      We played games, had a fall festival(including costumes), and had a polar bear swim. My Dad and I bonded over being the only ones to take the plunge!

        Then we traveled in November to Las Vegas to spend time with Richard(Jess's oldest brother), his girlfriend, Tiffany, and her son, Tynoa. We sang Karoke, had an amazing dinner, and visited the Ethel M chocolate factory lights.

I love to take pics with my new Iphone. Still learning how to work it.

     Then we headed down south again to Brianhead Resort, near Cedar City, UT and spent time in a nice condo tubing, eating, and playing with Aiden.

        We went to the temple lights with the Alleys(Mary's family) and the Tapps(Anna's family). It was lightly snowing that night and perfectly beautiful!

My love and I.

Where Jess and I were married and sealed for Time and all Eternity!

Fun picture...the lines of light were actually snow flakes that were captured by the camera.

 
      Finally, Christmas came! We spent Christmas day opening presents, watching Les Miserables, and taking as many pictures of Aiden as possible.

Such a photogenic little man!

I used these ornaments to tell Jess we were pregnant last Christmas!

Our little apartment, and our little tree.

"Brown paper packages,

...tied up with string..."

But seeing Aiden smile is MY favorite thing!

        After driving 10 1/2 hours to Tahoe, then 6 1/2 hours to Vegas, then 3 hours to Brianhead, it was nice to have our first Christmas with Aiden at home. Jess and I have been so blessed this year. We have a beautiful son, a happy marriage, and strong testimonies of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. There's nothing I could want more. :)
