We started the season off with lots of Christmas parties. First party up was a pizza shindig Laney had with her class! Then as soon as that party was over, we went straight to Kipton's school where they had lots of sweets. We were partied out and sugared up by the time it was all over, I'm pretty sure!

| Christmas party #2. These are Kipton's Best Buds at school, Dax and Hudsyn!! |
Landon and I decided we would let the kids open presents a few days early this Christmas... 1) because I just can't keep surprises long at all and 2) we were going to have company at our house and just figured it would be easier this way. Fine by me and the kids of course. I do have a funny story about my little brother bear (Kipton). He opened up a present and the box was a blow dryer box (with a toy inside of it). He looked at Landon with a sad face, then looked at me and chunked the box across the room and went on to his next present. It was hilarious once we told him we didnt get him a blow dryer but that there was something else in the box. That was also a great time to explain to him, that even if you dont like a present you got, you still say thank you and be grateful. HA! Lesson learned....I hope!
Landon's brother and sister in law stayed with us for a week during Christmas, the kids loved staying up late and waking up early to see and play with their cousins :) Always a fun time to see them play together.

| They were playing on the floor and it turned into the cutest picture! |
We opened presents on Christmas eve with them and Landon helped the kids make birthday cupcakes for Jesus and also read to them about what the real meaning of Christmas is.

We woke up Christmas morning.... at 8:00. I just knew for sure all the kids would be up at the crack of dawn excited to see if Santa came, but we must have wore them out the night before. Merry Christmas to us ;)
And sure enough Santa did make a stop at the Hayes house :)
 |
| Scooters, helmets, a huge nerf gun and a RV for her American Doll! They must have been super good this year! |
After checking out all the cool new Santa toys, Landon cooked some yummy faijitas while the rest of us got ready and we headed to his grandma's house for more fun with the family.

After our bellies were full and we were all getting tired, it was time to head to Baird for Christmas with my family. This post is getting long and I am running out of time, so be on the lookout for Part 2 Christmas post :)
Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!
