Busy, Busy, Busy

The Bass family has been quite busy traveling and seeing family this December. Colby got to take his second trip via airplane as we traveled to LA to watch Luke's sister Haley graduate from LSU! Congrats to Haley! She is going to start a graduate program in Speech Therapy....How special that Colby's aunt will be able to help him with any speech difficulties he might have in the future:) Colby traveled great on the airplanes once again and we had many activities in LA. We had a special family dinner for an early Christmas, traveled to Natchitoches to see the lights and to celebrate Grammie Bre Bre's birthday, and fianlly the graduation. Colby got to meet both great gramdmas, all his 2nd and 3rd cousins and great aunts and uncles. We had great food, fun times with family. It was so nice to be able to celebrate an early Christmas with family!

Playin' with Aunt Haley....Boy she is fun!

Meeting Great Grandma Nola for the first time.

The light displays in Natchitoches, LA are so cool. We had a great night seeing the lights, having dinner and eating special "birthday" cake for Grammie Bre Bre. This was actually a funnel cake down by the river but they sure were good!

Once we arrived home, Christmas was right around the corner. Grammie Paula, Papa Cliff and Tanner were coming out to CA to celebrate. We had several great days despite the rainy weather and had a very special first Christmas with our Colby. He is very blessed to have such great grandparents! Colby got lots of books to read this Christmas and some baby DVD's. He had a great day, although the only difference to him from a normal day was the chance to play with paper and bows! But next year, watch out! Tanner put up a new kitchen light for us and also helped Luke with some other projects. We made and ate lots of great food and played Mexican train dominos.
