Our Merry Little Christmas 2008


We had a great Christmas this year! We had several fun Christmas parties that we went to during the holiday season and it was good to see everyone that we don't get to see all of the time.Santa was good to all of us this year! He brought us a Wii!! My parents gave us this family gift on Christmas eve and we have been playing it almost everyday since. We love that thing, including Hayden. He is quite the little bowler! My parents also gave us our Christmas pj's to wear for when Santa came on Christams Eve. That's a new tradition that my Mom started just since the boy's were born. Then the next morning we meet back at my parents house really early to see what Santa left for us at their house. Santa is always good to us at their house!! I know, we are spoiled!!

This year we were extra excited as Hayden was more understanding of what we do at Christmas time and about Santa. This year we left Santa some cookies and pink milk. Pink (strawberry) milk is Hayden's favorite so he was sure that was what Santa liked too. He must have because it was all gone when Hayden woke up to find what Santa had left for him.When Hayden woke up on Christmas morning, I was so anxious to see is reaction. He was really quite funny. Santa had wrapped all of his presents except for his new big boy bike. As he entered into the living room, he was excited to see the bike but he thought we were gonna see Santa. He kept asking, "Where's Santa?". After the confusion of why Santa was not at our house, Hayden decided to start opening presents but it just got overwhelming for him I think. Not that Santa left him a whole ton of stuff, (well maybe he did!) but just that it was early and he just wanted to play with what he had already opened. The next day we still had unopened presents under our tree. They are all open now though, just in time to open birthday gifts now!

Santa also brought Hayden a big boy bed! Hayden has been sleeping with us for the last month or so and it's been rough! Once he seen that his new bed was set up in his bedroom he said that he might be a little bit scared of this bed. What a silly boy he is! He has been sleeping in it every night since though. Nate has to lay by him until he goes to sleep and then he is fine for the night. Finally, Nate and I have our bed back!! We had plenty of restless nights with little feet running on our backs and enough headbutts on our noses!

All in all we had a very Merry Christmas and hope you all did as well!

Hayden's new big boy bed that Santa left for him. Mommy and Daddy gave Santa the bedding to use for it but Mommy has recently found a way cuter set at PBK that she is going to go get, soon... We are also waiting for Ron(our painter) to come and paint. So stay tuned for the complete finished product!
