Christmas '09

Uncle Brian and Aunt Danielle gave Guy and Sloan advent calendars at Thanksgiving. Guy really enjoyed counting down the days and eating a little chocolate every night until Christmas. He was the first to wake up on Christmas day and had to wait an agonizing 15 minutes until Sloan woke up. Here is there first look at the Christmas tree and presents.
Cousins Cody and Ella drew Guy and Sloan's names for Christmas. Sloan got a baby doll and a stroller to put her in. She hugged the baby at first. Then she threw her on the ground and crawled into the stroller herself. The stroller turned out to be her favorite gift. Guy got an awesome robot with three wheels on the bottom.

Guy asked Santa for a mixing truck and a piggy bank. He got a big and a little mixing truck and a robot shaped bank. We should have stocked up on batteries so he could use his walkie talkies right away. The batman action figures turned out to be his favorite present.

Grandma Peggy sent a giant box of presents! Guy got a Lego set and a bug catcher. Sloan got a cute picnic set.

Sloan got fancy dresses from Grandpa and Grandma Hinman. Guy got a t-ball set.

Jack and Guy both got skateboards for Christmas. We walked over to the elementary school to practice after lunch.
Jack had 4 days off and it was so nice! We drove up Cedar canyon to go sledding on Sunday. Sloan did not think it was that fun. I think she was cold because she can't warm herself up by running around like we can.
We had to talk Guy into going down on the sled the first time and then he realized how fun it was. He loved the snow and asks to go back all the time.
He wanted to make a snowman, but the snow was too dry. He made a snow angel instead and then got into a snowball fight with dad.
