Christmas

I know this is a little late, but here is my post from Christmas. My mom got me this neat book that talks about each piece of the nativity and things you can do each week to help you remember the true meaning of Christmas. We went through the whole book as a family. I thought it was great and I learned a lot. I hope that Jake and Peyton were able to get just as much out of it. I really want Peyton to know that Christmas just isn't a day of candy and presents. We had so much fun spending time with family. We had dinner with Grandma Laine and Grandpa Buggsy on Christmas Eve. My mom is such a great cook, it was delish. We spent Christmas morning opening gifts, just the three of us. Then we had lunch with Grandpa Russ and the rest of the Willer clan. Came home for a little nap and went to dinner at Grandma Sherrie's. I love the holidays and the fact that so much time is dedicated to just spending time together. All Peyton wanted for Christmas was Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head from Toy Story 3. He got them both and so much more. We have been so blessed in our lives. 2010 was a great year and I hope that 2011 will be just as wonderful.

Ohhh Peyton

This post is just to remind me of the cute and funny things that Peyton has said lately.
Peyton: "Mom when I grow up and we get married, I'll help ya clean the dishes."
Mommy: aww (heart melts)
Peyton: "Mom I went to the doctor without you and without dad. And the doctor told me that I need to toot at least two hours a day."
Mommy: "Peyton, you are all boy" LOL (did he dream that??)
Peyton: "Mom I want some cartoons on, because I don't want to enjoy this peace and quiet."
Mommy: "Okay" (hmmm, where did you hear that....)

creative dress up

Peyton got one of those Frisbees with the whole in the middle at a parade this summer. He kept playing with it as a dress up toy. One minute it was a necklace, the next a dress. I kept telling him that he shouldn't put it on him because that isn't what they are used for. I told him that if he didn't quit, it was going to get stuck and he'd be wearing that "dress" to school. I didn't really think that it would get stuck on him, but sure enough. He got into a predicament he couldn't get out of by himself. Luckily daddy came to the rescue with a pair of scissors to cut him free. It was pretty funny.
