Unwrapping Elmo

Cayden got a Tickle Me Elmo for Christmas from my parents. Since we weren't able to visit my family this Christmas my mom wanted a video to see Cayden's reaction to Elmo. So mom, here you go.

Unwrapping Elmo; I must say, my son has some mad unwrapping skills. :)

I love how Cayden keeps pointing at Elmo and saying "tis." And yes, Brian is in the background obnoxiously imitating Elmo.

I'm not sure if you can see this, but at the very beginning of the video Cayden is running away from Elmo because he fell out of the box and scared him. Lol! Also, he is waiting so patiently.

And finally, lots of loves for Elmo. I think it's funny that he dropped Elmo and ran when he started shaking. So we're scared of the Tickle Me part, but love just Elmo. Oh yeah, he also gives Elmo a kiss at the very end. So. Cute.

Merry Christmas!

We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and we wish that we could visit all of our family. Love you!

{This looks a lot better in person. For some reason the scanned image is really yucky. Oh well.}

My Little Puppy

Cayden loves puppies which is why I think it is so funny that he reminds me of a little puppy chasing his tail in this video. Lol. Who knew children could be such a great form of entertainment? ;)

Candy Cane Reindeer

I made these cute candy cane reindeer tonight for an ornament exchange I am going to tomorrow night. Hopefully everyone else will think they are as cute as I do! By the way, it's a reindeer couple. A girl (with the bow) and a boy. Love it! :)

Sad, Sad Day

We took Cayden to see Santa the other day. Clearly he's not old enough to understand the whole Santa thing, but I wanted to get a picture of Cayden with him. Sadly, the mall decided this year that you couldn't take your own pictures of Santa. You had to buy theirs (cheapest being $20) or stand outside the Santa area and take your own.

This is the best I could do. Sad, sad day. :(

If I would have been able to take a decent picture you would have seen Cayden crying and reaching for Chad. Cute and kind of sad. Maybe we'll try another mall and see if they'll let us take pictures.
