Holidays

The end of the year is a busy time for everyone.  The holidays are even more fun with a 3 year old!  For Halloween this year Peyton was the cutest little lion!  Grandma Sheryl made his costume and it was the best!  We went trick or treating with Peyton R and Samantha (and their families) in Waunakee.  Oh my, did the kids get a ton of candy!

 

We had a nice Thanksgiving dinner at Nana & Papa's house.  Peyton helped make rolls and pies.  He's quite the little chef :)  Peyton loved eating turkey!


The Christmas season started right after Thanksgiving.  We have found a great little tree farm where we can go tree hunting and cut down our own Christmas tree.  Peyton had so much fun running from tree to tree trying to find the perfect one.  And he did!  Daddy cut it down and Peyton helped him haul it to the car.  



 And of course decorating it is the best part!!  Peyton did most of this all by himself :)

Unfortunately Peyton was pretty sick over Christmas.  He had a fever and a horrible cold from about Christmas Eve until New Year's Eve.  It may have slowed him down a little but didn't stop him from having a great Christmas and making a haul!!

Christmas Morning in front of all his presents!
A car ramp for the wall!  Just what he wanted!!


Day after Christmas morning with Jake & Jamie at Nana and Papa's house


Uncle Jake got Peyton a "pitar" (aka guitar)

Santa came to Nana & Papa's house!  

Nana, Papa, Jake and Jamie came to our house for New Years.  We were all going to the Packers game on New Years day.  (Peyton didn't get to go.... this time).  We had a great time ringing in the New Year (before Peyton went to bed).  Peyton was good at throwing streamers and blowing horns :)





We are excited to see what 2012 will bring!  Happy New Year!!
