Christmas at our house was so much fun. Sawyer loved his playland right away and crawled right over to it and went through the tunnels. We also gave him a ton of those plastic balls to put inside and he didnt even want to open any of his other presents- he just pointed at the bags of balls saying "ball, ball ball!!!" We had to move them where he couldnt see them to get him to open anything else! We also got him a balloon and I think that it was one of his favorite things- now he loves balloons and whenever he sees one he points and points and says balla Ball! The kid def. loves balls! He didn't care much about opening presents but once they were open he loved getting new toys! We spent Christmas morning at our house and then spent the rest of the day with Zach's Family and My family. My sister and nate got stuck in Omaha on Christmas Day so we got to see them the next day instead which worked out ok- it was like an extension on Christmas!
Sawyer was so funny- on christmas day we saw my grandparents and sawyer walked all over their house with papa's walker-we gave him one of those baby push toys for christmas but he hadnt seemed to care too much, but when we got home from grandma and papa's house, he pushed the toy all over everywhere! I dont think it will be too long before he is walking all on his own!
One of Zach's family christmases was held at a hotel and we all went swimming in the pool- Sawyer loves the water and swam until his fingers were wrinkled and his lips were purple! What a little fish- I just signed him up for swimming lessons that start at the end of the month- I think he is going to love them!
We had a great time ringing in the new year too! We stayed at the Embassy Suites up in Des Moines and went to the party there which was so much fun! There was an awesome dinner and drinks and a huge balloon drop at midnight. We had so much fun- my parents watched Sawyer for us and said he was very good the whole night!
We also got to spend lots of time with some of our friends who were home for the holidays which is always wondeful and we have enjoyed having daddy around so much these past few weeks! It is amazing to think that a year ago Sawyer wasn't even born yet! 2009 has been such a wonderful year for our family- we cant wait to see what 2010 brings!
That looks like fun to go swimming for Christmas. I need to be more creative in my holiday planning.
