Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year to Everyone!!!!

We had a GREAT holiday season and Preston Jaymes was loved on by many!!! He must have been an awefully good boy this year, because Santa was extra sweet on him! We had a very busy end of the year....Let me catch you up!

-------------------

Preston was invited to his first Birthday Party!! He had a great time with his buddy Bode! Although, not sure Bode knew what to think of all the attention!

Here Preston is taking a sneak peak at one of his first wrapped Xmas presents from his buddy Bode!!! Of course he was amused by the pretty paper and bow!

------------------

Daddy made sure Preston didn't miss out on his first chance to see Santa...Here they are waiting in line...he told Santa everything he wanted and suprisingly..NO TEARS!

------------------

Finally, we headed off to Iowa for the Holidays to see our Families! First stop was Gramma Chris and Grampa Steve's house....Here he is showing off his new stocking with daddy!

He loved his new puppy that he got from Gramma and Grampa...it sings lots of songs ...which of course he LOVES!!!

Again, amused by a "BOW"...maybe we should have just wrapped up a box of those...I think Christmas might have been a little cheaper!!!!

Next, Preston Jaymes got to meet his Grampa Steve's side of the family for a large Christmas Eve lunch! He really did well being passed around and loved on by many! Here he is with his Great Gramma Ann and the other great grandkids at the party (from left to right) Aiden, Madison and Ainsley.

Preston found a very comfy place to take a quick nap with Great Aunt Kelly! Can't believe he slept with all the action going on!!

He loved hanging out with his second cousin Kate -who was back from Texas!

He did manage to miss mommy just a little and needed some playtime with her as well!

It was an eventful time though and needed another nap with Grampa!! Mommy and Daddy are wondering if we shouldn't do this more often because we NEVER nap this much at home!

------------------

On Christmas Eve night, we headed over to the other Gramma and Grampa's house...where he was once again .....SPOILED! Here he is with much excitment looking at all the presents with Gramma Lynn!

More pretty paper!!!! I think he finally figured out though that there was going to be a neat toy inside because he was very interested in getting the gifts opened!!

Godfather Chris helped him with this one!

A little lovin' from Aunt Lisa....

"Look mommy ....another cool toy!"

"and a big green frog! WOW!!"

(that of course sings and lights up!)

Again, he got tuckered out opening all the gifts and had to take a break with Grampa Jim in the easy chair!!

------------------

When we finally got home from Iowa on Christmas Day, there were MORE presents!!! Preston was turning into a pro at this point and tearing off some of the paper himself!

Daddy's so proud he is starting his influence on making Preston a Nascar fan...here he is checking out one of his new books....mommy's atleast happy it's a book!

"Yummy...new toy tastes good!"

All toys are supposed to go in the mouth...right??

He was even intrigued with daddy's toys!

Here is our little man...showing off his muscles by doing a few push ups in front of the new dinosaur toy his cousin Ainsley passed on to him!

We had a wonderful Christmas in Iowa...and at home!! Thank you to everyone who made our Christmas extra special this year....it was one to remember!!! Hope yours was as wonderful and joyous as ours was!! Thank you!!!

-----------------

Oh yes, and New Years......if you are wondering how we brought in the New Year ....it was very very excited....we were in bed by 9:30.....guess that is what happens when you have a four month old!!!
