Christmas Eve Eve @ Grandpa's and Shayna's

We spent Christmas Eve Eve over at Steve's and Shayna's because that was the only day that Matt and Steph were able to make it.  It started out a little shaky but ended up to be a pretty fun night.  Steve and Shayna always spoil the kids and that's fun to see.  So here a some pictures.

They have started opening the presents so I was trying to hurry and get Stacey on Skype so she could watch.

 Baine got Chuck tracks.  He loves those dang dump trucks.  Shayna has some and that's his favorite thing to do at her house so she bought him some for his house.

 Shayna was so happy.  :)

 Cute Izzy and Alison.

 Steph and Ro.  I'm pretty sure Brady was taking all of these pictures.

 Izzy got the cutest little kitchen I have ever seen!  She LOVES it!

 Izzy "helping".

 Ronin got a few guns and Brady was having some fun trying to shoot all of us.

 Brady's Dad bought him that shirt.  I guess he thinks it's funny.  I don't really.  :)  I think it's the truth.  Without Brady that place would not run.

 Poor Baine was sick.  He looks hammered.

There's happy Shayna again!  Hahaha!

Modern Technology

Thank goodness for modern technology.  Without it we wouldn't have Skype.  Without Skype we wouldn't be able to do this.........

The boys were talking to Aunt Stacey over Skype the other day.  At one point they were playing hide and seek.  Haha!  So cute!  This is a great way to stay in contact with Stacey and it helps the boys remember her so when she comes for a visit it won't take a whole day warming up.

Curious Much?

Not this little boy.  He did really good with the Christmas tree.  I didn't put any ornaments on my tree this year for a few reasons.  1) It was a real tree and every time I would touch it the needles would fall off and they were already falling off a lot.  2) I thought Baine was going to pull all of them off.  Which he stayed away from my tree but would pull off everyone else's ornaments at their houses.  :)  We didn't put up the tree until a week and a half before Christmas and that seemed like a lot of work to put it all up and take it right back down.  There is always next year. 

Boys Will Be Boys

We had Ronin at our house a few weeks ago.  Baine and Ronin get along pretty good for a little while and then the love/hate relationship sets in.  You would think they would get sick of each other since sometimes they fight.  Nope as soon as they see each other Baine follows Ronin around like a lost dog.  I love having him at the age now that he can play with his cousins.  So fun!

First.......

Baine received his first Christmas gift last night.  It is always his first big dump truck!  Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Hutchison.

Meeting Santa

Baine met Santa for the first time this past weekend.  He didn't cry.  I was so surprised.  He was very tired.  He wouldn't look at Santa though.  He wouldn't even smile, just looked down.  I bought a new Santa book a couple weeks ago so he would figure out what this Santa business is all about.  Maybe it did help.  :)

Big Boy

Baine has been trying so hard lately to put his own shoes and socks on.  It's not going very well.  :)  (example below)  He also sucks with his fork but tries so hard to stab food with it.  He has no problem once the food is on the fork, finding his mouth.  He just can't get the food on the fork very easily.  He's growing up too fast.
