This Sunday Santa visited our house early. Since we will be in Bossier for Christmas, we decided we would celebrate with Peyton a little early. It was definitely more fun this year than last year, but we learned a valuable lesson. Do not give Peyton a truck, train or vehicle of any kind before he opens his other presents! Once he saw his train set, he was uninterested in opening anything else...which is good because that was his big present and after 3 hours of assembly last night, we both joked that if he hated it, we'd never get him another present! ha! I was quite proud of us, though, for putting this thing together in only 3 hours. Yes I said "only" because I'm very certain you have to be an engineer of some sort to put the actual train together. I'm still not sure we got it totally right, but it's irrelevant now....Peyton finds it amusing to take it apart anyways. Oh well, he's having fun right! Brad and I had a blast doing this project together and I think that was the point anyways. We don't get much time to do things together and if we have to find that time by putting together toys, then so be it. Peyton did enjoy many of his other presents....like the $2 John Deer Tractor or the $3 truck. Thank goodness he liked the toys and not the boxes though! He also got his first golf clubs....he and daddy spent the afternoon working on the basics....I'm not sure who was teaching who though. Anyways, enjoy the pictures that follow. Hope everyone has a fantabulous Christmas! Look for more pictures soon!

Ho Ho Ho!!!! Glad Santa came early -- plenty of memories since we always did it early at unpredicatble times!! He looks like he is really into his toys. Can't wait until he has more to open when he gets to Bossier!
Love, Nana
Just wait until Maw and Paw brings Peyton a basketball goal early evening that he really wants put together right then. Oh Yeah...we have pictures of the girls alseep in their sleeping bags outside on the concrete...patiently waiting for Jason and I to finish putting it together. We finished sometime after midnight!
I love the first picture with all his curls! Too cute! What a great gift...that's something that can really grow with him. Boys love those kinda toys for a long time :-) Can't wait to see ya'll!!!
