What a Weekend!

Wow, we have had an absolute blast this weekend and I am exhausted.  Yesterday we relaxed at home in the morning and then went to Winterhaven for 3 hours and walked around looking at the gorgeous displays.  Hayden loved pointing out all of the raindeer and his favorite house was of course, the space shuttle display. 

Today was packed with great activities and we enjoyed all of them.  First up, we went to Hayden's friend Marshall's third birthday party.  The kids had a blast climbing and jumping in the jumping castle. 

After the party, we went to Matt's Christmas party for work at the Gaslight Theater.  The show was great and even the kids really enjoyed it.  Matt received a special gift that we both really love.  He got a MagLight flashlight set engraved with the TriSports.com logo and he also got a very generous Christmas bonus which was definitely well deserved by him!  At the end of the party, all of the kids got a special gift from the company's owners.  Matt's boss goes out shopping for each and every kid in the company and chooses a special gift for them. Hayden got a really cool Superhero playset and he was thrilled over it all afternoon.

When we were all partied-out for the day, MeeMaw was cool enough to watch Hayden for a couple of hours and Matt and I went out and finished our Christmas shopping together.  Hayden is now officially spoiled rotten and that's ok with us.  He is such a good boy and he is so very excited for Santa to come! 

MeeMaw and Hayden met us in town this evening and we grabbed a quick bite to eat and then went back to Winterhaven for another 2 hour walk.  Hayden just loves the lights and he is so damn observant.  He picks up the tiniest little details while looking at the lights.  This evening, one house had a LED drum set made out of tubes of lights.  Hayden walked straight over there, looked at it for a second, and said "They forgot one of the cymbals."  I explained that some drum sets only have one cymbal and the people who made it liked it with just one.  He said, "Ok, I just think it would sound good with two" and walked away.  We all about fell over laughing...It was really cute.

I apologize for the lack of pictures this evening.  It is way past my usual bedtime and I am exhausted from such a busy day!  Tomorrow I am meeting my dad for lunch (he's in town just for one day) and he is taking Hayden to Toys R Us to choose a Christmas gift with him.  Tomorrow night after soccer, Hayden's godparents are coming over to celebrate Christmas with us early since we have family things going on for Christmas day.  I will try to post some pictures of today when I post pictures from tomorrow.  Love to all!!
