Christmas ..... Late

Here is a look at our Christmas. Peyton was REALLY excited this year and knows what presents are all about now. At first he just liked the Christmas tree but after opening presents at Grandpa and Grandma Johanson's house a few weeks before Christmas he told Grandpa that opening presents was his favorite thing about Christmas. We let him open one present on Christmas Eve and he got his pajamas that he is wearing in the picture. He was really excited about the Christmas jamies and wants to wear them all the time. He got a "sound bike" from Santa Claus. It took him two weeks to decide it was okay to push the buttons himself. He is afraid of things that make sounds that he is not used to. He also got a lot of "Cars" things and that is always his favorite.


This is Peyton the robot. He got this little box and put it on his head and said he was a robot. We are not sure where he got that from, he has not really seen anything with robots he just has a good imagination!


This is Peyton wearing his "road dress". He got a mat with roads that he can drive his cars on for his birthday and he got it out and wrapped it around himself and said it was his road dress. Dad asked if he was a little girl and he said yes. Cole was so proud of him! We always wanted a little girl! Ha, Ha! In the video he was still wearing his road dress and wanted to sing "Jingle Bells" in front of the tree. That was one of the three songs he learned this year. He can also sing "We Wish you a Merry Christmas" and "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer". He loves music and likes to learn new songs all the time.

Merry Christmas

Last weekend, we went out to Duchesne for a Christmas party. Peyton was excited because he got to open presents early. Then, of course, he wanted to help everyone else open theirs. He's loving Christmas. While we were out there we took a new family picture.

Whatever was said here, to get Peyton to smile, worked a little too well. We think we were talking about gross things. He likes to talk about that for some reason.


We ended up with this one, it turned out well, we thought. (With a little work...)

Thanksgiving

We went to Enterprise for Thanksgiving. Peyton had a good time with his cousins. We had a good flag football game (Heather's team won) and ate way too much, of course. Heather got the insane notion to go on a 9-mile run with Stacey. She made it, but is paying for it now with a sore knee.

Now, we can finally put up the Christmas tree. Peyton has been excited to put it up, but we told him we had wait until after Thanksgiving at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Heather is happy someone finally gets as excited as she does for Christmas.


We're teaching Peyton the important things in life, like how to pull funny faces.


And so far, this is all we can get Peyton to do with the potty.

Proud

Peyton likes to spell words, while he takes a bath. The other night he asked Heather to help him spell........

Yes, that's our son. He keeps us laughing.

Halloween

Arrrgh! Give me all your candy! That was Peyton the Pirate's tag line on Halloween. Before Halloween we would ask him what a pirate said and he would say, "Arrrgh! Shiver me timbers!"

Peyton thought Trick-or-Treating was awesome and now he wants to go everyday. He was really in to the pumpkins too and liked to see them everywhere.

He loved his pirate bandanna, and really liked seeing himself wearing it in the mirror. He said he looked cool. We were not sure he was going to keep it on so we tried it on the night before and he didn't want to take it off for the rest of the night.

His "brother" Brendan was a pirate too, so we had the two cutest pirates around. And thanks to Brock and Russell he got a ton of candy and now asks to eat it for breakfast! Nice!
