Christmas Memories


We all had a great Christmas with everyone and it was such a blessing to be able to share it with many family members and especially to have enough time to visit everyone and not have to worry about getting back on a plane to Florida. We were all pretty worn out when we got home after having 4 Christmas's, but we're all getting back into a routine.
Josh was feeling tired on the way home so he took some pictures while I drove for a while.

We all went to see Obama with my parents and sat in the second row. We both shook his hand and he gave Hayden a little shake too.

Here's Noah and Josh. Noah got a huge kick out of one of Hayden's toys.

Here's sweet little Lucy playing with her Momma's yarn.

I think Andy had a blast playing with Hayden. Hayden sure liked him too.

Emma having fun playing with Hayden. It looks like she was trying to tickle him. Emma definitely had fun playing with him and his toys.

It looks like Hayden made out pretty well for his first Christmas! Gavin likes to look at his pictures on the fridge and say "Ay-Yen." (AKA - Hayden) He also looks at a picture of Josh that gma Annie sent and says Jos. It's really cute! Sometimes he says Papa, too, because he gets them mixed up. :-) Hope you are all getting resting up! Love you guys!

Your pictures are really great. My favorite is the fourth one from the end, with Hayden's presents around him. He is adorable!

Your dad has been working on Hayden's toy box all week. He should finish in a few days.

Glad we got to spend time with you. We had fun. Hayden is certainly growing like a weed. Love his smile. I thought his tooth was coming in with all his drooling his was doing. Yeah! We had record temps this weekend. Went to Transiberian Orchestra with Uncle Scott/Aunt Brenda last week -- what fun!!!!! They are still awesome! Having people over from work tomorrow night, Chauntel is having her bday party here Saturday, and then our friends are staying here all night Saturday night. Another busy week at the Neally home. Love you guys! Mom
