Christmas Part 2

Here are some more pictures of Christmas! Now, I've already been teased for being dressed with my hair and makeup done, but in my defense we didn't have Christmas until 10 am since Destiny & Mark have both families in town to celebrate with. With that said...


Here is the living room with the Christmas tree and Jayden's stocking all ready and waiting...


As you can tell, Jayden is thrilled to be awake, even at 10 am. Hopefully next year he'll be more into it.



Here is the glider rocking chair Brian got me.

Destiny opening her stocking and checking out her new watch.


Kevin is so excited!

Mommy & Daddy!

Chippendales

Brian's sister Destiny got married last night! Everything was gorgeous, and the reception was very fun. I'll post some photos later, but I wanted to post this video, because it is absolutely hilarious. The groom's twin brother mentioned during his toast that Mark (the groom) had worked very hard to save money for his mission and wanted to share part of that with everyone. Then we showed this video.

It was a hit, and everyone loved it.

Enjoy!


(Okay, I can't get the video to work in the same post as my text, so check out the video below)

Christmas!

Jayden's First Christmas!

He spent most of the morning chewing on a soft plastic racecar Santa put in his stocking. He had so many gifts that at the end Kevin gave everyone a gift for Jayden to open at once, and we did that twice!
We gave Carrie a photo sculpture (of course) of Jayden!We gave Steve a tie (of course) of Jayden!

Daddy and Jayden!

Brian opening his 4 player Mancala game!

Brian opening his 60 degree wedge!

Jayden and his new wagon! He loves that thing so much! We took him for two walks Christmas Day, and the first time he cried when we took him out and brought him back inside. The second time he cried when Brian stopped walking. Thanks Grandma & Papa! He is so good at sitting up in it, too. He's becoming such a big boy.


And I couldn't finish this post without pictures of Jayden in his first big boy ball cap! Thanks Uncle Nate!

Magic Kingdom

Here are some pictures from our time at Magic Kingdom!Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters were walking around the park and were in the parade. I thought this was funny because I haven't ever seen them before! They were arguing with each other too, it was too funny!
Hannah waited in line for an hour and a half so she could meet Tinkerbell. She also told me that green is her favorite color because of Tinkerbell.


The Teacups!!! You can't do Disneyworld without the Teacups!



Chloe fell asleep during the "It's a Small World" ride. Too much partying, I suppose.

Jayden's first ride was the carousel! He even held on to the two handles like a big boy!


The four grandkids waiting...
We ate breakfast at Cinderella's Castle for Chloe and Hannah's birthday. Apparently Cinderella isn't Jayden's type!

Blizzard Beach

I know I am a little bit behind with these Disney World photos from Thanksgiving, but here are some pictures from one of the first days at Blizzard Beach water park!
Chloe modeling with her new towel


It was the perfect temperature for a day at the water park. It was just warm enough to get wet and not be cold, but it wasn't hot enough for me to worry too much about Jayden getting sunburnt or dehydrated.
Aren't sleeping babies the best??


Paige, Hannah, and Chloe are such fantastic cousins! I had so many helpers that were willing to watch and hold Jayden it was wonderful! Good thing I am still nursing or I might not ever had the chance to hold him!!!! ;)
Chloe loved the slides and fountains at the kids area. She went up and down too many times to count, and always had a big grin on her face!


They had a zipline in the youth area that was pretty fun for Paige and Hannah. I don't think Hannah realized what was going to happen though. Sure makes a great picture!

As you can see, we had a great day at Blizzard Beach. It was really nice to be able to relax, not worry about the heat, and not have to walk forever far and stand in any lines!

Winter Jayden

Okay, I'm all bundled up and ready to go!
Me & My Uncle Kevin!

Kevin got the honors of changing his first poopy diaper the other day, and it was a hum-dinger! He rose to the challenge though. Good thing I wasn't home when it happened!

Rock and ROLL Jayden

We were finally able to get this on video!

Brian the referee

Brian signed up this year to ref high school wrestling, and he had his first match last night! Jayden and I cheered him on! Go Daddy!
(I know what you're thinking, finally, a post without pictures of Jayden!)

Santa!!! I know him!



I guess next year he'll go through the "Santa is terrifying" phase...

Storytime


Thanks Mom for the books and CD! Jayden and I really like them!
