Christmas Eve

I don't know what I was thinking but I totally forgot to post our Christmas Eve dinner with the Hannon's. We always spend Christmas Eve with Nanny and Papa and the rest of the Hannon clan. We always have dinner, read the REAL Christmas story then open presents. Here are some pictures from that night.

Well this one is of Hayden Christmas Eve morning.

Finally!!!! A gift.

Christmas Morning

I think Carey and I were more excited on Christmas morning than Hayden was but our little man was very happy with his Mickey Mouse Clubhouse ball pit. He really likes playing with all his new balls. In fact, we couldn't hardly get him to look at his other presents for the ball pit. Here are some pictures from Hayden Bruce's first Christmas morning.

Wow!!! Look at all those balls.

Woop there getting out.

Look at these balls.

He finally discovered there were other presents.

Taste testing the balls.

Opening a gift from Mom and Dad.

It's hippos for bath time.

Christmas morning was so special at our house and Hayden has thoroughly enjoyed his ball pit. It is more like his little club house that everything migrates into. We have figured out that if something is missing go look in the ball pit first.

Hannon's Christmas Morning Breakfast

Since Carey and I have been married we have always gone over on Christmas morning and had breakfast and opened presents with Mom, Dad and Evan. Hayden got to enjoy his first biscuit and chocolate gravy and it is safe to say that he loved it. After a good ole breakfast we all headed to the living room to open presents and this year the focus was totally on Hayden, of course.

Paw Rick had to help him get started opening his present but he just couldn't let go of his remote yet.

And he's off......

Showing Paw Rick what a big piece he pulled off.

Now it's time to jump on top.

Hurry Paw Rick.

He got his very first piano.

You arrange the blocks on top to create different sound.

Daddy you look funny.

Hayden got finished opening his second present and I helped him get his goodies out of his stocking.

He got these really cool flashing bouncy balls. Gran gets the neatest toys.

He loves the bouncy balls.

E put together his jungle gym for him.

He really loves it. It has several balls with it that go down a slide and it sings and has all sorts of little gadgets on it.

English Christmas

Christmas afternoon, we spent at Grandmother's for the English Christmas. Hayden had already had a big day but he was still ready to open more presents.

Grandmother saw Hayden was getting impatient about the presents so she went ahead and let him open a little gift from her. He got this cute little Christmas Moose. He really likes to pull on the lights on his antlers.

Yeah this is a great picture...... of Kayla. LOL. Hayden had not had a nap all day and I knew he was getting fussy so I tried getting him to take his bottle and laying back but there was too much excitement going on.

Daddy trying a hand at it. (Don't they look cute in their matching grey shirts and jeans)


Kayla taking a picture of me taking her picture. LOL. She is so crazy.

Uncle Evan (aka "E") thought he looked cute in Hayden's bogin.

Hayden taste testing Kayla's camera.

Finally, he got to open presents.

He really got the hang of it.

Wow.!!! He got an Addias suit.... and

An MSU sippy cup and toothbrush...... and

A camo blanket w/ his name on it. Thanks Jones!!

My camera battery went dead after this picture but he got a great Mickey Mouse Choo Choo Train from Grandmother and he absolutely loves it. I will have to get the pictures off Carey's phone and I will post them. After all the fun and chaos of the day we went home and took a long nap. Hayden's first Christmas was great and we couldn't have asked for a better day with our family.
