We went to Elko, Nevada to celebrate Christmas with my parents. It was sooo cold, but Aulton didn't seem to care. Mike made a little track around the front yard to pull Aulton's sled on. Mike also would pull the sled around the neighborhood. I hate the cold and snow so I just snuck out and snapped a few pictures, before heading back in to enjoy my hot cocoa and watch from the window.
Aulton got spoiled for Christmas, but did not care. Last year, he was into opening presents, but not this year. It seems anytime we want him to do something, he wants to do just the opposite. So, depending on how much his attitude changes by this time next year, he may just get one or two presents and we will call it good!
My parents did get him a wonderful swing set, while they were here visiting for Thanksgiving. My father-in-law and Mike put it up, as my father ended up in the hospital for almost the entire visit. I'm thankful he is fine and for Elmer generously giving up a Saturday.
Aulton's birthday went much the same as Christmas. Even though Christmas Day was his actual 3rd Birthday, we celebrated on the 26th because he was just too tired. His cake was covered in Swiper (from Dora the Explorer), but he wouldn't even look at it, because we wanted him too. He did, however, partake.We had a wonderful time in Elko, watching movies, playing games, sleeping in (thanks grandma and grandpa), entertaining Aulton, shopping, eating, eating, and eating. It was truly a joyous holiday!
