Fund Raising for Ayden

We recently added a new feature to our blog. On the right-hand side of the page, under the "followers" and our profile, you will see google advertisements. If you click on them ( you don't have to spend time looking at them, though) Ayden will automatically earn a little money that's put into a college trust fund for him. Since he's going to be a doctor, he'll be in college a LOOONG time, so please take a moment to help us save for him! Thanks!

Christmas Fun

December was full of Christmas parties and preparation for the big Day. We went with Grammy to a Christmas Tree Farm to find the perfect tree and got to take a hay ride around the farm. Later in the month, the birth center where Ayden was born, hosted a party and Ayden got to spend some one on one time with Santa, himself. He wasn't REALLY sure Santa was okay, but at least he gave him a Hi-Five.

Ayden's Choo Choo

Santa brought Ayden his first Choo Choo!

Dancing with Grammy

Ayden's Grammy is a dancing fool (so I guess that's where he gets it). This is just a cute clip of their Christmas Eve dance (and kisses).

Uncle Tom's Car

Ayden's Uncle Tom and Aunt Sue sent down a really cool toy car, well, it was two cars in one!

Ayden's 2nd Christmas Morning

We had a wonderful holiday! We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at Grammy's house in Bastrop. Ayden turned 18 months old on Christmas Eve. He was ready to tear into packages this year! Thank you to everyone who sent cards and gifts. He's truly a special little boy and we appreciate all your love from afar.

Monkey Backpack

It seemed cruel, but why not give it a try? This is a little backpack from Autie Marilyn that he get to wear. It conveniently has a LONG tail that has a loop for Mommy to hold on to.

Santa!

About 3 weeks before Christmas, we started teaching Ayden about Santa. By the week before Christmas, everytime he saw Santa, he would yell "Tanta"!

Trampoline Fun

Our neighbors just over the fence have two little girls AND a trampoline. While they were away on vacation, we snuck over to check out the trampoline for the first time. What an adventure!

Our Housekeeper

Ayden has always LOOOVED playing with the broom, the mop, and the vacuum. On cleaning day, he's always eager to help with the chores, so Grammy thought he would love his very own swivel sweeper, especially since the handle can be shortened to just his height. She was right!
