Merry Christmas... Daniel's 2nd Christmas!

What a fun Christmas this was.... Christmas Eve we spent at my parent's house. They got him this Pottery Barn Kids Anytime Superman Chair! He absolutely loves it!!!

Just realized this picture is not turned properly... oops! Aunt Amanda and Uncle Christopher got him this Personalized Book... it is so cute as the animals spell his first and last name out for him!

Grandma and Grandpa also got him this ride on lion... again, another new favorite friend Daniel has=)


Thanks Grandpa and Grandma for my presents!

Then on Chrismas Day, we took my parents and brother to the airport as they flew to Florida to be with my grandparents... who are also celebrating their 55th wedding anniversary! Congratualations! We so wish we could be with you to celebrate this incredible day.... thanks for being the best role models of what a great marriage looks like!

We refer to my grandparents as "Grandma and Grandpa Florida" and they made a deposit into Daniel's savings account as his Christmas gift so THANK YOU!

We opened presents at our house on Christmas morning (which are below as the pics got mixed up) then for lunch we went over to Aaron's parents. Guess What? More Presents! This time Daniel had help from Logan!

Aaron's parents got Daniel this really cool tractor that makes all kinds of noise and moves on its own and Aunt Leigh Anne and Uncle Aaron got Daniel a wooden personalized box (made by Super Talented Auntie) full of arts supplies, games, books, etc. Thank you so much as we will have lots of fun with that!

So, back to Christmas Morning.... here is Daniel in one of his favorite presents... he got a car! Thanks Aunt Amanda and Uncle Christopher for the car... also thank you to Sharon for the great train set and Cedric and Trudy for the Spanish/ English Farm!

Daniel having a little fun playing peek-a-boo with the Santa hat!

Then we had an idea a few weeks ago to do something different... book a couple of nights at a Scottsdale resort! So, on Christmas Night we went to the Scottsdale resort which is absolutely beautiful... they have the Palm Court Restaurant which has been rated one of the top 75 restaurants in the country!

They also have Santa... kind of=) He was "fake" but for my son who is deathly afraid of the "real" Santa, the "fake" one worked well for pictures=)

We had a wonderful dinner Thursday evening at the resort then on Friday afternoon, Daniel went over to Aunt Leigh Anne and Uncle Aaron's house for the night so we could have a night by ourselves. I have to say this was a wonderful Christmas full of memories that I will cherish!
