Merry Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas. On Christmas Eve we went over to Karla and Jim's. Hayden got spoiled by everyone and had a great time!
Grandma and Grandpa Kuhlman got Hayden her own laptop

Karla and Jim got Hayden a xylophone

Hayden ran around all night and had so much fun!

That night, after Hayden went to bed, Santa came! You should have seen her face when she saw the tree and the presents! She was so excited.

Here she is opening her Farm Animal set from Uncle Clay, Aunt Lisa, Mitch, Will and Grace.

Guido had a great Christmas too. Hayden is helping Guido open his gift in the background

Aunt Shanda, Uncle Kirt, Aunt Jill and Uncle Craig got Hayden her dress up outfit. She put it on right away and wore it all morning.

Me and my baby....

Sweeping the floor

Santa brought Hayden tooth brushes. As soon as she opened them up, she put them to her teeth, ready to brush!

Guido helped Hayden open up her baby stroller. She loves this stroller and it is actually a hand me down from my Donna's daughter, Emily.

She likes to ride in it. If you look closely, you can see Hayden's fat lip that she got last week. She is working on perfecting her temper tantrums and threw her face into the couch :)

Putting her baby that Aunt Maryann and Uncle Don got Hayden

Aunt Shanda, Uncle Kirt, Aunt Jill and Uncle Craig got Hayden a baby too. She had fun feeding her baby.

On Christmas we went over to Wendi and RJ's house. Hayden and Crosby were fighting over Hayden's laptop.

Crosby has an awesome tunnel that Hayden loved to play in

peek a boo!

Wearing a funny paper hat! Hayden got lots of compliments on her dress that Grandma Jo and Papap bought her. She looked absolutely beautiful (even with the fat lip) :)

Playing on Crosby's rocking horse

At Wendi's we did a re-gift exchange. This is where you bring a present that you got for Christmas that you don't like and then we do a White Elephant gift exchange. It is really funny what you end up coming home with. For instance, Kevin got a paraffin wax hand bath :) Here is Hayden wearing a T-Shirt that Wendi ended up with. It says "It's my birthday and I am S*&*faced! LOL!

Hayden stayed in her Spongebob pajamas all day on Sunday

Auntie Mandy and Uncle Michael got Hayden an easel. She loves it

She played all day with all of her toys and it tired her out!

Getting ready for her nap - baby had to come too

night night!

Here is a video of Hayden walking around in her Princess dress up outfit

Santa and Spongebob!

On Friday we picked Hayden up early from daycare and took her to see Santa. The whole car ride there we would ask her if she wanted to see Santa and she would say "Yes!" When we asked her what Santa would say, she would say "Ho, Ho" She was ready!
We got to the mall and posed in front of the big Christmas tree

We posed outside of Santa's Igloo. She was all smiles...but when we went it, she wanted nothing to do with Santa. She didn't cry, but she wouldn't look at Santa, sit on his lap, or even sit beside him.

So I made the Santa picture for a 2nd year in a row. She would sit on my lap, but that was the closest she would get to Santa. An improvement from last year, because she cried :) And Santa gave her a candy cane which is why she is so excited in this picture

Daddy and Hayden outside of the igloo

She really liked the big Christmas tree

On Saturday we took her to see Spongebob! A local furniture store was hosting Spongebob to advertise their Nickelodeon furniture. Hayden was fast asleep in the car ride there...

I cannot express to you how excited she was when she saw Spongebob. In fact, we had a brief meltdown because she ran right to Spongebob and wanted to cut in front of all the kids. When I picked her up and took her to the line, she threw such a temper tantrum that we had to walk to another room (create a mini-time out) until she stopped crying. Once she pulled herself together, though, she went to see Spongebob and couldn't have been happier

At one point, she just looked at Spongebob and had a full on conversation. I mean, she sees him everyday on the TV - so I guess she had a lot to say. It was pretty funny :)

They had this Spongebob playhouse there too and Hayden couldn't get enough of it.

They even had wall decal

Saturday night, Lauren and Lucas came over to give Hayden a Christmas present. She was very excited to see what was in the box.

Puppy paw slippers! They have a button and they bark Jingle Bells. You should have seen her surprised face when they started barking. She loves them!

Here she is trying them out.....

how cute?...

Hot Weekend!

Can't believe it is almost Christmas! Especially since we had 80 degree weather this weekend. But the stockings are hung, tree is up, and lights are on outside. We are getting excited!
Hayden still likes putting on my shoes and walking around the house

On Sunday, Kevin and I went to the Chargers game and Auntie Loli babysat. Hayden still loves watching her Spongebob!

Auntie Loli took Hayden to the park in our neighborhood. It looks like they had a great time!

Swings are her favorite!

Yeah!!!

tuckered out after all the playing!!!

Great weekend!

On Saturday we went over to Loli and Yogi's to watch the Hokies play. We had a great time! Hayden loves cuddling up next to her Auntie Loli

Hay Hay loves Uncle Michael's tattoos

Mmmmmmmmmm cookie!

I'll sit on Auntie Lauren's lap all day because she feeds me cookies!

Getting tired. Hay thought she would cuddle up with Uncle Michael

What a big girl she is becoming

Doodling...
