A visit to Santa

We ventured out to the Chandler Mall last Sunday and managed to be first in line to see Santa. All was going well......

He was playing around Santa's house and posing for the camera......

and then it was all down hill. Let's just say I don't think he told Santa what he wanted for Christmas. Maybe next year....

Turkey Day!

Hayden had a great Thanksgiving. We usually go hiking in the morning, but amazingly enough it was really wet out with all the rain we had been getting, so we went for a long walk around our community. We stopped to play on the playground and walked through the rocks, so he was a happy little guy.

It was pretty cute- He kept taking his hat off just to look at the train on the front and then putting it back on. I think he likes trains! :-)

That evening we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for a big dinner with lots of friends and family.

He enjoyed his turkey dinner on his festive plate.

And he truly LOVED all of the attention from everyone.

Hayden is what we are thankful for!

Halloween success!

Well, I went into the holiday not expecting a lot and boy did Hayden prove me wrong. We waiting until we arrived at our annual Halloween fair to put the costume on, which I think made all the difference in the world. We threw the costume on and away we went- minus the appropriate shoes for the outfit. Hayden didn't allow us to put socks and shoes on so he wore his sandals. We had to choose my battles carefully.
