Jayden and Christmas

Jayden was a HUGE fan of the Christmas Season. 

He loved the snow... LOVED IT.  We bought him snow pants because he was going through three pairs of soaked clothes a day.  We played and played and played... We drove his quad through the snow.. (He steered, I pushed a lot).  He drove trucks... we had Icicle fights... we made a 5 ft tall snowman.. It was fun.

As for Christmas it went very well.  The theme this year was moving.. Jayden loved that theme.  He was given toy trains of Percy and Salty to add to his collection of Edward, George, Thomas and others.. 

Jayden also got Hot Wheels and Air Planes including a space shuttle.  

He loves his Geo Track.  We have put it together 5 different ways already, though Jayden gets a little upset when Kallee tries to play too.  Jayden got a Diesel and more trains and well so many things. 

The funny part was that Jayden was not the typical rip and move guy.  He liked to play with his presents for a while and then maybe open another.  He was happy all the time.  


Jayden also recieved a camera in which he took over 100 pictures already... the problem with it is he runs through the batteries like nobodies business.  We had to buy rechargeable ones for it.

Love that kid.

He always loves playing with family and this season was no exception. He was blessed to have a lot of time with his cousins who he had a great time with.

 He played in the snow with Rocky and Maverick at Grandma and Grandpa Lee's and played cars and trucks with Jonah, and Dawson and Madeline at the Gebers.

As time went on Jayden occasionally shared his toys with his sister "Kallee-boo-boo"  but only beacause he wanted to play with her train.  

In the months leading up to the Christmas season I have been tired and de-energized.... it took a lot to go through the paces of the day.  But the season brought so much joy and happiness that I am refreshed and ready for the new year.  Much of that has to do with my family.  I have a wonderful forgiving wife, great parents and two little people who captured my heart.  Jayden and Kallee are two of the best things about life.  

Kallee is a strong and confident girl who knows what she likes and dislikes... Jayden is a Confident happy kid who's investigative skills and his desire to know how things work amaze me..  He can tell me what time it is at night as long as the numbers fall between 7-10... He is working on his letters and his memory is top notch.

Being a husband and a father is a good thing.. a very good thing.
