Christmas Morning

YEAH!! Christmas morning!! We had so much fun. Aiden looked so cute in his new Elmo footy pajammies.

We had tons of presents! We made the mistake of having Aiden open Santa's present first. Nothing mattered after that. We were opening his presents for him after that because all he wanted to do was play with golf clubs.


This is all the stuff Aiden got. How fun is Christmas!!!

Santa's Lap

Aiden was so much fun this Christmas! He got all into Santa Clause and singing the songs and the lights and everything. He got to sit on Santa's lap at the ward party. We had to stand in line forever because all the older kids were in line in front of us. When we finally got to where we could see Santa, Aiden started telling him what he wanted for Christmas. He couldn't even wait until he was sitting on Santa's lap to tell him he wanted, "golf clubs and a golf ball to hit it in the hole." This is Aiden telling Santa while waiting in line.Aiden had no fear of Santa. Everyone helping was amazed that he sat right down and told Santa what he wanted. No crying or anything.
He got a treat bag from Santa that had a lolly pop in it, Aiden's favorite candy!! This is what happened on the way home from the party. Oh man, did he have a good time!

Train Park Adventures

We went to the train park today with a play group from our ward. Aiden loved the train!!! He was a bit nervous at first (as you can see here,) but he loved it. The tunnel was his favorite part.
Then we rode the carousel. He was nervous for this too, and when the horse first moved he was scared, but he ended up liking it. He's such a big boy now!

Arizona State Fair

Today we went to the Arizona state fair. We love a good fair!! This is on the ferris wheel. Aiden liked it, but didn't say much. I think it scared him a little.
We love to see the animals!
They had a fabulous petting zoo with pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, llamas, kangaroos and donkeys. Aiden loves to see and touch animals! He had so much fun.
Notice him trying to kiss the sheep, and the sheep kissing him back. I love this picture!
What??!!!... Nothing!
We love the state fair!!

Cute Kid

This is how Aiden had to take his nap today. One sock, and a winter hat. Not because it's cold, but because it's Taylor's hat (a friend who he just loves!)
It made me laugh!!!

Happy Halloween!

What better way to start Halloween than carving pumpkins!
I asked Aiden what he wanted his pumpkin to look like and he said, "Bat and Ball." So that's what he got. He's really excited about it, can you tell?
What else could Aiden have been for Halloween? He LOVES baseball!!

We were a family of baseball players! We had fun at our ward trunk-or-treat. Aiden really liked the cake walk and seeing a kid dressed like Max from 'Where the Wild Things Are'. He just saw the movie, so he was obsessed with seeing Max at Halloween.
We tried to teach Aiden to say, "trick or treat," but all he would say is, "candy," because he knew he was going to get some candy. But he was amazed that he could just walk up to a stranger and say, "candy," and they gave it to him. Hopefully he doesn't do it all the time.

Happy Fall!
