Christmas Morning

Ayden was so excited to see what Santa brought him on Christmas morning! I was worried he would wake up super early, but my threat of having to take a nap if he got up before 7 worked, he came in our room saying, "It's 7:04!!" We headed downstairs and he was one happy boy!!

Daddy helped open up and put together his awesome remote control crane, bulldozer, and dump truck while mommy made our traditional Christmas morning breakfast of cinnamon rolls.

The very last present to open - a surprise trip to Disneyland! My spoiled child seemed a little disappointed that it was just us going - he had a good time anyway!

Christmas Eve

As always, we had a great time at my grandparents' house on Christmas Eve. It seems our family grows every year, I think we were up to about 30 this year!! Next year we will add two new baby girls (ours and my brother's daughter, Violet)!!

The picture in front of our tree that Ken & Ayden grudgingly join me for every year

He looks so old here! Such a little poser!

I think Ayden was trying to explain to his second cousin, Nathan, how to sort the presents.

Just part of the chaos that is Christmas Eve with my family.

Could he be any cuter!!

Somebody was a little excited about this year's pajamas - transfomers!!

It took some convincing to have him try these chocolate rocks. He thought we were playing a trick on him! They look really real.

Fall Fun

Ken & Ayden had fun playing in the leaves in the front yard of my cousin's house on Thanksgiving. I love these...

Thanksgiving Camping

The weekend before Thansgiving, we went to Mt. Madonna for a camping trip with Grandma Newton and Uncle Daniel & Dee. We had a great time relaxing in the mountains and were very thankful for the RVs when it started raining.

The smoke wasn't really this bad, my camera just made it look worse

Halloween!

On the day before Halloween, Uncle Matthew and Aunt Dominique took Ayden to their church's Carnival. He had so much fun and came home with candy and lots of stories about the fun games

Our October was a little busy, so we didn't get a chance to carve our pumpkins and Halloween snuck up on us. Luckily, we had some decorations that did not involve carving, since our pumpkins had gone a little soft.

Our spiderman was all ready for trick or treating until it came time to leave. He wanted to stay home with Daddy and pass out candy. About every three houses, he asked to go home. It was so funny, I kept asking myself how many parents of five year old have to persuade their kids to continue trick or treating!
