We had a wonderful Christmas this year! Payton was so excited! He is just at the right age where he is really into it! He is really into Santa and loves singing Christmas songs and watching Christmas movies! On Christmas Eve, Justin's family came down from Iowa and we got to spend the evening with them. Payton was really happy to see his Uncle Jeremy! That night we left out cookies and milk for Santa. He insisted that the reindeer wanted chocolate milk too! It took a lot of convincing, but I finally got him to realize that he didn't need to leave the reindeer milk outside, that Santa would bring it out to them! He woke up bright and early on Christmas morning and ran right past all of the presents straight to the plate of half eaten cookies! He was thrilled! Santa brought him a new bike which was the highlight of the morning. His reaction was one I will not forget. We then opened presents for a while and then went over to my moms and spent yhe rest ofthe day over there. (It sure is nice having to drive 6 minutes, instead of 6 hours!!) Payton was a little mellow then, but i think he was on present overload! A day and a half of opening gifts is a bit much for a little guy! Friday it was 64 degrees here, so it was a perfect day to try out the new bike! We have spent the rest of the weekend being very laid back and playing with all of our new toys!!
Overall we had a wonderful Christmas and got to spend lots of time with family. It was strange to think that next year there will be one more person here! I think we may need a bigger tree then!!
