On Christmas morning we slept in and awoke to presents from Santa! We opened a few presents before breakfast, took a break and then went back at it! Our favorite present was from Santa and it is our very own workbench with tools! Here's us men playing in our new shop. Notice Daddy's supervising and teaching us the ropes!
Mom made a fun breakfast for us of toast, bacon & eggs, fresh fruit and our very own powdered doughnut snowmen! They were delicious and a fun Christmas treat.
Of course Kato got presents too. Here he is in his new Iowa State bandanna eating one of his new treats. The way he's holding it Dad said makes it look like he's smoking a cigar which is pretty funny. I think Kato is giving us "the look" in the picture of don't even think about coming near me this is my bone to eat and you can't have any!
I surprised Dad & Mom with a present I made special for them at daycare. Here's my hand print masterpiece and poem. They were so excited about it!
After a fun morning of playing we were all tired out so we took a family nap together. After story time Mom laid down with me and I put my head next to hers and turned to her and said, "You my best friend". Mom said that was the best Christmas present of the day!
After enjoying a good nap & more play time we put our goodies together & packed up our presents to head over to Grandpa & Grandma Prestegard's for our Prestegard/Larson Christmas. Here's some of the goodie I helped Mom make:
We had the nicest dinner at Grandma & Grandpa Prestegard's and after dinner Grandma Judy had all these fun games planned for us. My favorite was the Christmas scavenger hunt! The adults read clues (*see Aunt Jenni reading one below) and we had to figure out where to go and find the next clue & final prizes. We had so much fun running all over the house & working together as a family. We also played find the snowmen in which snowmen were hidden all over the darken basement & we used flashlights to "spot" each one. Kind of spooky but extremely entertaining!
After games we were blessed with more presents! We loved everything from our truck/tractor books to Mack Truck (*from Cars) to semi-truck hauler to alphabet dinosaur. So much fun stuff to play with!
We were pretty tuckered out after a big weekend/day so Hudson & I actually fell asleep on the way home. On Dec. 26th we headed back to daycare but only for a day as that night Grandma Anne came up as we stayed at our house with her on the 27th. It was nice to be at home & play with Grandma & our new toys. We want to thank everyone for making our Christmas & holiday season so blessed and special. We hope each of you had a very Happy Christmas too!
Love, Hayden & Hudson
