Christmas at Aunt Pam's

Craig had to work on Christmas so Preston and I rode up to my Aunt Pam's for my extended family Christmas. Preston was very tired of the whole Christmas scene and cried the way up to the cities and the whole way back.

In the bottom picture is my Grandpa Jahn and his girlfriend Dorthy. The middle picture is my Grandma Brahs and sister Denise and her new baby Jaylynn. The top picture is my mom and Grandma with Preston.

It was so nice to be able to visit with everyone. Grandma you inspire me. I love you so much.

Christmas with the Grandma and Grandpa Koehler

We spent Christmas Eve with Craig's family. Santa came and gave us some very funny gifts. I got a bracelet set and Craig got a magic trick set. Cousin Emma got coal from Santa and she was very proud of it. Preston got 2 toothbrushes for his 11 going on 12 teeth. We had a lot of laughs. Mom K acted like they didnt know Santa was coming when all along they had it set up. Preston got a Radio Flyer wagon and cousin Emma had fun riding in it too. He also got a sit and spin but he doesn't quite know how to use it yet. He had fun trying to carry it around and standing on it. Craig and I got a lot of nice gifts too and we are looking forward to trying out our new Magic Bullet. Thanks and we love you.

Christmas at our house

Christmas with Preston was really fun this year. He really brings out the spirit of Christmas. He was so excited with each new thing and couldnt have brought us more smiles.

Craig got me a purse, 2 coudaroy pants, a pair of jeans and shoes. I got him a new fishing reel, and fishing pole and tackel. Preston got a Leap Frog farm magnet that you match up the animals and they sing a song and make animal noises. He got a big ball and a Police car that make noises. He also got in his stocking, 2 match box cars, a duck and a recorder, because he loves to go around poking things.

Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Jahn

This year for Christmas my parents decided to spend time with each family individually by having dinner with them and giving the gifts at that time so that they could spend more quality time playing with each grandchild. Preston got a zoo set from them that makes noises, complete with a zoo keeper that has a cell phone and a red truck. He also got a Christmas book. Thanks guys for coming out and having pizza with us. We love you.

P.S. We also got together with the whole family out at our house a few days ago.

New toy puppy

So Craig gave in and gave Preston one of his Christmas presents early today because he was starting to drag everything in sight like my curling iron, blow dryer, apron etc. He has this thing with pulling things behind him lately. He didnt stop pulling his new dog for almost an hour. His dog wags his tail and ears as he is being pulled and even barks. In the top picture he was even telling it to "GO" as he does with our dog Maddie when we let her outside to go potty.

Fun pictures of Preston being the goof ball that he is

Preston is really starting to become his own person. He loves to get into things and has figured out how to get out of most things too. He loves to drag things behind him, put things on himself and loves to go around poking things. He even walks around with my purses!! He pushes around his cars and says "Varooom". He hasn't crawled in many weeks now as he has mastered walking to the point that he can even run now. This might be my favorite phase yet:)

New Fire truck

Preston got an early Christmas present today from Uncle Keith, Nicci, and Mason. He was so proud of it and carried it around the house with him. It lights up, the wheels click and when you pull the hose it makes a water sound and retracts. Thanks guys for making his day!!!!

*Side note: Notice the black fuzzy's on the carpet? I got these new lounge pants and they are leaving fuzzy's everywhere! I didn't want you all to think I didn't ever vacuum:)
