Merry Christmas!

We had a fun Christmas...

December 20th was the Hammer Family Christmas Party. We had a yummy dinner, exchanged gifts, got christmas jammies, and recieved our Christmas Stories ( my favorite tradition that we do with the Hammer's) Every year, Beth Ann chooses a Christmas book. Each family gets a book and something to go along with it. This year we got the book I believe in Santa Claus, and a clear block that has Believe on it that is vinyl lettering. We read the book then everyone puts on their Christmas jammies and we take pictures.

December 21st was the entire Hammer Family Christmas Party (with all of Steve's aunts, uncles, and cousin's) this year Preston and I didn't go because Preston was really sick. In fact, Steve had to come home early from the party so he could go with me to the Instacare with Preston. Preston had pink eye, a barky cough, a runny nose and a fever. I finally gave in and gave him some Tylenol so by the time we got to the Instacare, Preston was feeling better and running around the joint....we got some drops for his eye and his cough lasted about a week. It amazes me how happy Preston is. Even when he isn't feeling his best, he still laughs and wants to run around.

Christmas Eve is when my mom's side of the family celebrates Christmas. We had the party at my Grandma and Grandpa's clubhouse. It was so fun. That day was when Steve and I started to get sick, and we are still trying to get over these stupid colds!! Santa came to the party, and Preston loved it! He sat on Santa's lap and loved his beard! I will post pictures later (we forgot our camera)..After the party, we went to my parents house to hang out.

Christmas morning was great! It was so fun taking Preston downstairs and watching/helping him open his presents.
Here is Preston opening his favorite present that day. Dump Truck #1 ( We gave him another one for his birthday) He LOVES this dump truck! We also gave him a basketball hoop for the tub, a book, and some shoes, but he didn't care about any of those..he only wanted to play with his dump truck.
