Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

This has been a busy couple of weeks! Last Wednesday Aidan and Mommy visited Rockefeller Center and saw the gigantic Christmas tree and had to bundle up against the cold. But this week we are in Hawaii enjoying the sun and ocean! We flew out of JFK airport on Friday at 9:45AM and arrived, 14 hours later, in Kona - just in time to enjoy a delicious dinner of ahi and coconut milk over rice (Mommy's favorite meal in the world) with the Rosses! Aidan was a trooper on the flight: he had a good nap and was great on the first 5 hour leg, but then was pretty unhappy about getting on another 6 hour flight! He didn't break down completely until we got into the car after meeting Grandma and Grandpa Ross in the Kona airport.

However, once that was over, vacation has been wonderful! Aidan has loved being cuddled and kissed and entertained by Grandma and Grandpa Ross, Aunt Frances, and Uncle Jon-Michael, and he has been a great helper as we cooked piles of delicious Christmas food. We've taken him to the beach twice so far, and so far he likes the tide pools the best, since they are the warmest. (Even Hawaii water isn't as warm as his baths!)

This morning, Grandma drove down to Magic Sands with Mommy and Daddy and they were thrilled to swim and boogie board in the ocean while he explored tidepools and sand (yummy) on the beach. It was wonderful!
We are here until Sunday night, and then are taking a red-eye back to NYC, arriving on Monday evening. So, the next blog post will probably be late as well. However, we hope you all are doing well and enjoying the holidays! Have a happy new year!!!!
