Easter 2013

Hunter had a great 1st Easter.  His Nana spent the night with us, so he got to spend some quality time with her today.  She gave him M&M's for the 1st time and he loved them...definitely getting better at using his pincher grasp.

He spent most of the morning playing before we got him ready to go to Granny's for dinner.  Right before we left, I let him get into his Easter basket.  He really loved the stacking rings the most.  He has some at his Nana's that he plays with when he is there.

We hadn't let him nap all day, so he took a good nap on the way to Granny's.  He was in such a good mood the whole time we were there and ate like a little pig!  He will eat anything!  I'm hoping he continues to eat so well.  We let him hunt eggs with Bubby and Logan.  Of course, he had no clue what he was doing.  He just liked to shake them.

After the egg hunt, I had to leave him with Nicole because I was supposed to work.  They put me on call so Alan and I have spent the afternoon putting together so of our furniture from ikea.

Here's a breakdown of what was in Hunter's basket.

Fisher Price stackable rings

Jellycat bunny

I had his initials monogrammed on the bunny's ear.  This was my favorite thing in his basket.  The bunny is soo soft!

I couldn't find the exact picture of the cup I got him, but it's similar to this, but yellow.  It came from target.

Spoons similar to this.  These are actually the boon spoons, but I picked up some at wal-mart that look almost identical.  

Hunter LOVES Dora.

Wooden cars from Ikea.

Christmas 2012

Hunter's 1st Christmas was a success.  We had a lot of places to go, but luckily it was spread out over several days.

It started on Friday night when we had a Christmas Party to go to at Brandon's.  We left Hunter with his Aunt Lisa because sometimes things get a bit crazy there.  We had a good time but were gone pretty early.  Hunter opened his 1st Christmas gift, from Lisa.  He actually did better than I thought.  He mostly wanted to eat the paper though.

Saturday, we had Christmas at my Mom's.  We always do our Christmas there on the Saturday before Christmas.  We were there most of the day.  Hunter got passed around a lot and received lots of gifts.  We had a good time and I really enjoy getting together with all my siblings. 

Sunday, was a nice day at home.  I was scheduled to work but got low census so we had a nice evening together at home.

Christmas Eve, we went to Pa Wayne's to spend the night.  Pa was so excited to give Hunter his gifts.  We really had a great evening there and were so glad we got to spend the night with him.  Christmas morning Alan and Pa cooked us breakfast.  After we eat, we packed everything up, went home, and got ready to go to Granny's for dinner.  

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE going to my Granny's for Christmas dinner.  It's my favorite thing to do at Christmas.  Our family isn't super close, but you can bet your bottom that we always stand up for one another and we're always there if we need each other.  We have been playing dirty santa there for a few years now and it's always a lot of fun!  

After we left Granny's, we went to Mom's to watch Logan open his gifts.  Mom had to work so he had to wait until Christmas evening to open his presents.  He got his 1st xbox 360, a halo edition.  I'm pretty sure Alan was a bit jealous.  

Once we left there, we went to my Dad's to take Jackie his Christmas gift.  I got him a wheelbarrow, a log truck, and some clothes.  He's all boy!  Loves his tractors, going outside, and beating and banging on everything.  He's so sweet with Hunter and gives him "love" all the time. 

Needless to say, it was late when we got home Christmas night.  We decided that we would do our Christmas the next morning.  

Wednesday morning we let Hunter open his gifts and Alan and I exchanged our gifts.  We mostly knew what we had got for each other, but I did surprise him with Halo 4.  He also got some things for his jeep and a new drill.  I got a new pair of boots and a new hair dryer (t3 featherweight.)  Hunter got lots of small things....blocks, balls, etc.  We decided not to do anything BIG gifts for him this year because he has everything he needs!  We are going to get him his lifetime hunting license though.
