Christmas 2005

Hayden & Santa Claus He didn't mind him until I walked away in order for them to grab his picture!

Here are some pictures of us getting ready for Christmas this year.  Hayden has been a TON of help! :-)

The Kid Xmas Tree, all plush and kid-friendly (approx 16 inches high).  My mom got that for Hayden from Hallmark.  It has super cute ornaments that come with it! He'll be getting some on Xmas.

Our Christmas Tree, before we had to move all the ornaments to the top, out of the reach of Mr Hayden!

MORE PICTURES TO COME THROUGHOUT THE HOLIDAY SEASON!

Opening his presents from his Gma & Gpa Bredeson.  We got these in the mail the day before Xmas eve, so we decided to let him open them early.

Opening his presents from us before going to Gpa Scanlan's for our Christmas Eve celebration with our family.

Our family on Christmas Eve...........he couldn't be held still for long, he couldn't wait to go play with his cousins!  He really liked playing with his big cousin Zach and kept hugging his cousin Emily!

After our large family gathering, we went to my mom and dad's house and opened presents there.  Hayden was SO tired and pretty cranky.  I think he forgot Santa was still watching! :-)~  But he made it through and enjoyed every present he got.  We call this year "The Christmas of Elmo" and you'll see why!

All these toys and he wants to hang out in the box!

These were pictures from Christmas morning...........he woke up to find lots of things under the tree for him!  He must have been a good boy.

Hayden & Dad watching his new movie, "Polar Express"

On Christmas Day we drove down to Decorah to spend the holiday with The Reckwards.  Hayden of course got totally spoiled with lots of presents from Gma & Gpa!

Gma made Hayden his own little plate of her special buns and a mini-loaf of bread like Great Gma used to do for Dennis & his brothers.)
