Christmas 2009

We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas with our extended family this year. Christmas with a 2 year old is much more exciting and helps puts things into perspective. Aiden still didn't fully understand what all the fuss was about, but by the third celebration he was getting the hang of the unwrapping and of course he enjoyed having new things to play with. We celebrated with my dad's mom and brothers Sunday the 20th, the Zimmerman's Christmas Eve, and my parents, sister and brother-in-law Christmas morning before we were joined by the whole family Christmas afternoon and of course a visit from Santa was thrown in there too! I think Aiden enjoyed getting to play with all of his cousins! It is always fun to get the whole family together and catch up and just enjoy spending time with the ones you don't get to see as often.

Aiden took this one of Uncle Bill and Uncle Johnny, my dad's brothers.

Aiden was the official photographer at Nanny's. He took this one of her too.

Elmo was in his stocking!

He's looking in there like, "Why is there stuff in the thing?"

Unwrapping gifts from Santa.

He was pointing to his tools and saying, "Granpa" because he helps Granpa fix stuff.

Elmo legos (notice all new Elmo toys do not talk-- to help keep Daddy sane!) and a new keyboard.

Aiden has his tool belt and hard hat all ready to go.

Aiden and Drew braving the cold and damp to play at Memaw and Papaw's.

Orrin and Hayley playing with them.

Maddie trying to get the boys to let her play too.

After everyone left Aiden and Drew burned off some energy wrestling.

They love to play together!

Daddy helping Aiden with the unwrapping.

Aunt Jessie and Uncle Matt watching Aiden open their gift...

... his very own digital camera. Can you tell he knows what it is by the smile on his face?

Granma and Granpa got his a potty book that makes a flushing noise.

Taking a picture of his new Mr. and Mrs. Potato Heads. He loves those dern things....

Nanny got Aiden this table and chair set for Christmas and it was just perfect for Aiden and "Nander" to eat and play at.
