WOW! I got my very own BIKE!

Grandma and Grandpa really surprised us with this gift. A bike with training wheels for Sean. He loves to ride around the house on his bike. Right now we are spending our time pushing him around and teaching him how to use the pedals. He has asked to jump on the bike at least 3 times this morning.
Sean looks like such a natural. He is ready to start pedaling away.
He was even going faster than great-grandma in her wheelchair. Go Sean Go!

Opening Presents

Sean was so fascinated by his new monster truck that makes all types of noises and drives off right in front of him. He tries to grab it and tell it to come back. The blinking lights keep him busy for a while.
The huge fire truck was also a hit. He loves the noises that it makes. Right now he is using it for a step stool during his climbing expeditions.

Looking For Santa

Sean has been so proud of himself when he is able to climb on top of things. Lately that is all he cares about. He climbs on the sofa, the bed, the presents, and any things that will help him reach the light switches or see out the window.
Sean was trying to see if he could see Santa outside. Is he out there?
Wait! Look at this! Santa left a bunch of presents for Sean. He must have been a good boy. Does Sean care about the presents? NO! He wants to look out the window.

Christmas is Right Around the Corner

Sean loved to give Santa high five but did not want to get any closer than that!
YUMMY cookies and milk!
Now it is time to make a mess, throw things on the ground, and pretend to write with the candy cane. Isn't Christmas time fun!

Playing with Some Friends

We were invited to Jump and Shout to go in some of the bounce houses and mazes that lead to fun slides. Thank you Sara for inviting us, we had a great time.
Ok so maybe Sean was not really happy during some of the fun play time we had.
Sean climbed up through the maze of webbed canvas to reach several slides that he went down with his mom and dad.
This is one of Sean's newest looks when he does not like something or just wants to make you laugh.
Santa visited at the end but Sean was more excited about eating his cookies and drinking some milk.

Basketball with Dad

Sean is learning the tricks of the trade with the new moves his dad has taught him when he is trying to slam dunk the ball. Hey, what happened to learning hockey?

Look What Santa Gave Me

We went to a little party for a lite breakfast snack and Santa showed up with some presents for the little ones.
Sean did not want to sit with Santa but he loved opening his new little people airplane.

Sean's Visit with Santa

On our second try to see Santa Sean did not warm to the jolly guy until the end of our visit. Then he wanted to give him a high five!

Prescott Holiday Festival

We stopped at the Anthem Outlets on the way to Prescott to visit a couple stores and see Santa. We actually ran out of time and the line was really long so we will see Santa another day. Sean had a blast bouncing up and down on the presents in front of the huge Christmas tree. It worked out great because we were able to use one of the photos for his Xmas card.


Sean loved to dance and watch the marching bands at the parade in Prescott. It reminded us of a wonderful fall day with the leaves changing and the chill in the weather.
The gingerbread houses were lovely to look at. Sean wanted to watch the train go around the display. We decided to stop at some of the beautifully decorated Christmas trees and snap some photos.
Sean was exhausted by the end of the day because he only had a 30 minute nap. He slept in the car on the way home and woke up just before we reached the house.

Santa Is Coming To Town

Sean went to see Santa and play at the Bass Pro Shop. They have a wonderful holiday exhibit for the kids. At first Santa was not Sean's best friend but then he warmed up to Santa after he started to play with Sean and give him candy canes.

Thanksgiving

Sean loved eating the mashed potatoes, turkey, and squash. He even was a little creative and decided to put the food in his hair.

Sean's newest feat is laying down on the ground on his stomach when someone asks if he wants a massage. Then everyone gets to rub his back and he lays there for his carefree pampering. Below- playing with Kailey and his musical book is always a fun time.
