Christmas

After a short stay at home, we headed back to Salt Lake on Christmas Eve. Ada was tired of being stuck in her carseat, so she took control*. She is a maniac behind the wheel. *The car is stopped. What kind of parents do you think we are?

We met up with the family and all went to the aquatic center for some pre-Christmas swimming. We figured that since cousin Ellie took swimming lessons at 6 months, she could teach Ada a few things. Ada had a blast.
And so did everyone else. This pool was amazing- it had a lazy river, a whirlpool, fountains and even a waterslide. We will definitely be taking Ada back on future visits to the grandparents!
That night, we had dinner Grandma and Kenand went to bed early, exhausted from all the excitement.

But the excitement wasn't over. Ada, of course, saw no difference in December 25 than any other day, but she liked it. Everything was so fun- especially the wrapping paper, boxes and this sweater she got from Obachan:


Ada really seemed to interact with her cousins this trip. She definitely brightened up when there were other little ones around.
And of course she loves her grandparents.
Ada's first Christmas was a hit!
