Happy 2nd Birthday and Merry Christmas!!!

 Unusual sleeping position...  Looks like monkey might need a visit to the chiropractor for Christmas!
 Feeding the dogs over Thanksgiving
 Don't ask about the attire.  Hayden has wanted to be either shirt or pantless more and more as the weather has grown colder. 
 Yeah Honey Boo Boo's got nothing on us as that is a dish towel I am using as a blanket for Hayden while he eating his goldfish.
 Everyone fell down!  A fun H game
 H still loves Elmo
 Reading books with daddy.  He especially prefers the 'big books' (meaning less pictures and more words)
 Not so great pics with Santa this year
 Isn't H too little to get bored of Santa?
 Now that H's hair has finally started to grow it has gotten a little wild
 Even though Hayden can talk, he still often points to where he wants to go
 Happy Birthday!
 Carrying the cake to the birthday boy
 As H tried to touch the candles last year while they were still lit we quickly assisted in Hayden making a wish
 Point in case
 Chocolate cake!!!
 H loved every bite
 Especially the frosting
 He managed to get some on his eyebrow, too!
 All gone?
 I'll just take someone else's cake
 Yeah!
 Finger lickin good
 Beginning of the sugar rush
 Silly
 and very silly! 
 Opening Christmas presents
 "I rip it"
 Chuggington!
 Can I play with it now? Please!
 That's more like it
Arranging his matchbox cars so that they all face the same way.  Thanks Gram!!!

Hayden had a wonderful second birthday.  Thanks to everyone who sent cards, gifts, and called on his big day!  Christmas was also wonderful.  My mom and Tony were here with the dogs and we had a wonderful time.  We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful family!

Thanksgiving!

 Puma Style!
 Lovin daddy's hat

 Tired Hayden
 Hayden went/is going through a rough time with sleeping.  Thankful he was able to take a nap even if it is on the Lazy boy!

 Best way to play with cars?  Prone position!

 Almost two-year-old and official two-year-old with aunts
 Leave us alone!  Can't you see we are playing ball?

 Never too old to play with the bouncy ball schoolbus

 What is more fun than making music and playing with trucks?
Gram!
Sorry I didn't post sooner - thought I had run out of blog space!  What a great Thanksgiving!  So blessed to have such a wonderful family!

Cousins!

 H and Adelle playing in the toy chest
 Blue blocks are the best!
 The toddlers loved playing in the playroom
 H playing some music
 Woo hoo!
 Bath time!
 H and Adelle played with lots of water toys
 Then Adelle showed us how to wash H's hair
 She had a lot to say on the topic
 Baby Vivian!
 Smiles as they practice 'swimming'
 Playing with cars on the kitchen table
 Jake was nice enough to lend his matchbox cars to the cause
 H was particularly interested in the cars
Adelle wondering what all the car fuss is about

We had a great weekend visiting cousins!  Can't wait until Thanksgiving to see what the toddlers will come up with next!
