all good things must end

As my 2 week "vacation" is coming to an end i need to prepare myself to get back into work mode. We had a great Christmas and New Years and 2009 is sure to bring great things. Cash had a nice Christmas with his parents. Grandma and Grandpa Martin couldn't come because there was record snowfall in Oregon and they couldn't get to the airport to fly and see us. So we spend Christmas morning just the 3 of us (plus Slider) and then went to Aunt Marilyn's for Christmas dinner. Cash got a bunch of amazing presents. He got a bicycle from the Wilsons and some great stuff from Sarah and Rick including his favorites, a telephone, a pig car and a building block farm. Grammy and Pop got him a really fun musical table and a Busy Zoo activity block. Santa is going to come again when the Martins come for a late Christmas next week.
Cash had his very first sleep over away from both of his parents on New Year's eve. He spent the night at Auntie Marilyn's while we went out to a friends house for a party. I put Cash down to sleep in Marilyn's crib at 7:30pm and he woke up at 7am the next morning and he and Marilyn at some eggs and waffles for breakfast. I came to get him a while later and he was in one piece and a happy little camper!
As if Christmas and New Years weren't enough, next we celebrate Cash's first birthday in a week. I can't believe my baby in ONE!! The Martin-seniors will be here so we'll probably just have a dinner and cake and sing happy birthday. Nothing big because Chandler and I believe that this will be the only year when we can get away with not having a big birthday party full of screaming kids!
We're still not sure what to get a one-year-old for his birthday but i think Cash will be fine with whatever shows up that day.
