Does anyone else get excited for the mail when you know a package is on the way?  We ordered most of our Christmas presents for relatives online this year and i've been so excited to go get the mail every day knowing some should be arriving : )  Even more exciting...going to the mail and getting an unexpected package.  We got festive socks from my mom this week.

We have a busy week this week!  Thursday...if all goes well...we're hoping...we will be heading to New York to go to a Patriot's game and while we're up there celebrate Christmas with Caleb's side of the family.  I'm bummed we won't get to be with my family like originally planned, but hopefully they'll be visiting soon.  According to the weather it's supposed to be 20 degrees colder in New York than it is here.  I'm going to freeze!  Then we're planning on heading to North Carolina to spend some time with a couple who's also in the Marines.  Should be some fun times headed our way.  Hopefully lots of pictures to follow.  I'm hoping Casen cooperates with all this traveling!

He can stand with the help of the couch and is quite proud of himself
