More Christmas Fun with Friends

Today we headed to Wylie to meet up with our friends Amy and Barrett.  Sadly to say we had not seen them since the summer so we were so excited to see them! 

The boys played a bit and then exchanged presents.

Barrett with his new power tools!  Love them safety goggles!

Playing a little more.  Barrett kind of liked Hayden’s new tractor!

Then, we headed to Firewheel Shopping Center for a little shopping, playtime, and lunch.  I was able to pick Hayden up a new pair of shoes.  I thought that his shoes might be getting a little snug, but what I didn’t realize was he was wearing a pair of shoes that were 1 1/2 sizes too small.  That certainly won’t get you the Mom of the Year award!  I went to the Stride Rite store and found these…

I really don’t particularly care for spending a lot of money on shoes for him, but he is so hard to fit!  That boy has some thick and wide feet! 

After our short lived shopping adventure, we headed over to the play area.  It was a great day to be outside and we took advantage! 

 

Don’t let that serious face fool you.  Hayden loved the play area!   He threw ONE.BIG.FIT. when it was time to leave to go eat lunch.  We went to lunch at Gloria’s.  Fabulous food as always.  But, a little boy named Hayden didn’t act too fabulous.  He threw a few more fits and just acted awful!  I was so embarrassed!  He was asleep within about 2 minutes after we got in the car headed home.  This fit throwing thing is new to us.  I am praying it is short-lived but am bracing myself for the worst.

After we got home, Hayden decided to play with his new tractor and start the engine about 457 times.  He was in love with it!  This boy is all about some tractors! 

We also enjoyed a little more outside time this afternoon. 

We did lots of exploring. 

Not much makes this boy happier than just walking running around outside.
