Christmas Day

Hayden woke up at 6:30 (the norm) and I showed him the tree and the presents. He wanted to be held at first. But then he saw the slide and I was able to put him down. He actually opened all of his gifts willingly. His favorites of the morning were the slide, the tool bench, and the microwave. I shopped well!

We went to grandma's house for brunch (yummy) and Hayden got to open his gifts from Grandpa. He got a carseat, a pitt basketball, and a vacuum. He played with the vacuum forever. I think that is his favorite gift!

Later in the day we got to my aunt and uncles house and visit the rest of the family and do grab bag and eat dinner. Overall a fun but busy day. Thanks to everyone for Hayden's presents. He loves them.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is always spent at my mom's house. All 6 of my siblings and their families come, and my grandma. So it is a full house. This year we had yummy beef tenderloin and crab cakes for dinner. It was delicious. Hayden actually opened some presents. He didn't always crack a smile, but he really studied each present. It was funny.


Cousins!

Aunt Quinn

Hayden and Mommy

The entire family. I told you it was crowded!

1 day until Christmas...aka Christmas Eve!

5 days until Christmas and One Snowy Day

I was going to take pics of hayden in his santa suit this weekend...the snow was just an added bonus.


Hmm...what is this stuff?

And...I am done, this is cold.




Hillary, Eric and Kennedy came over and we went sled riding. Don't you just love Hayden's outfit. Pink snowpants, a pitt jacket, watershoes, and a batman face mask (that was supposed to be a stocking gift from Santa). And he had pitt mittens that were infant size, and Christmas footie pj's on underneath. Oh well, he still looked cute to me!

Funny story. 1st we put kennedy and Hayden on the sled and pushed them down. Well they tipped over and landed face first in the snow and weren't happy. But wait it gets better...Next Hayden and I go down. I can see that we are going to crash into our big swing. So I put my feet out to take the brunt of the crash. Well we land perfectly fine. And then all of the snow (remember we had like 5 inches) from the top of the awning on the swing falls off and lands directly on Hayden's face. It was like an avalanche to him. He was completely covered and I had to "dig" him out. He was so upset. He did the crying with no breathing/noise thing. I felt so bad but was laughing so hard. What are the chances! None of the snow landed on me. Poor guy. I am sure that is great for his ear infection.












And just a gay shot of Mike and Eric



Cute cousins (yet sticky and gross) warming up after sledding. Kennedy is eating a cake ball and hayden is covered in yogurt.

9 Days until Christmas

Hayden did not enjoy his visit with Santa. He was fine just standing near him, but lost it once he got put on his lap. It is mean but, this picture makes me laugh every time I look at it.

10 days until Christmas

Christmas cards are sent (last week). Here is Hayden's Christmas photo.
