The Great Alaskan Honas: Xmas break

Well it certainly has been a long fun two weeks. We were fortunate to spend holiday season in Idaho. We flew into Spokane and spent the first part of the trip with My dad and my mom. It was my dads first time meeting Bronson. It was fun. He says he instantly has a special bond with him. I hope that doesn't mean ice cream cones at 8pm in the future. In North Idaho we had Bronson meet his great grandma Laura. She is not well with alzheimers and lives in an assisted living. She did get to smile at the baby though which makes for good memories. In Bonners we spent a day at a hotel so Nana could swim with Bronson. We all had fun. The downfall of that part of the trip is that I didn't get to see all of our family. Next time. Bronson also got to play with BOB. Bronson really liked BOB and giggled and smiled at him everytime he saw him. Not sure if it was the beard or his teddy bear appearance but whatever it was it was right up Bronson's alley. My dad was very nice and drove us to Southern Idaho. We had plans to celebrate his big 60 but road weather intervened and he left early as to be safe. Happy 60th dad!

We spent actual xmas day with Kris's parents and relatives. IT was great fun. Bronson had a super cute santa suit. He didn't much care for opening presents, as he slept through most of it. Next year will be more fun for him. We had him Baptized at the methodist chruch. He cried all through the beginning of the service but when it was his turn to get on stage that boy performed. He smiled and laughed and was happy even while water was being dripped on his head. That boy likes to be the center of attention.

These last two weeks Bronson has grown leaps and bounds. He now rolls over all the time, sleeps on his tummy, and makes an "okay" sign with his fingers. Before we know it he will be crawling all over!

We have learned to relax a little with this trip. Bronson got to sleep with us and we left him with relatives a few times. I have to say that he was an excellent little boy on the flights too. No blowouts, no relentless screaming, and no arguements between kris and I. I could not image a more fun, smooth trip.

We are now home. We both had to work on monday. I think our next trip will be San Francisco in March.
