Well, we successfully made it to all of our 5 Christmas gatherings despite the scare in weather. Mommy and Preston left on Tuesday afternoon with Aunt Paige and Aunt Molly so we could beat the "storm." Daddy joined us on Wednesday for the family festivities.
The weekend before Christmas we decided to go to Jordan Creek to get some last minute shopping done. Preston loved playing in the little playground there. We decided against Santa though...we thought he was too scary and you had to pay an outrageous amount of money for a picture.
We also let Preston take a ride on this school bus....although he wasn't so sure about it.
We were so glad to see Aunt Paige over Christmas. She was amazed at how much Preston has grown. Aunt Paige and Aunt Molly babysat Preston on the Monday and Tuesday before Christmas.
Preston received so many toys from some very generous people. Lots of Elmo!

Take one last look at these cute curls.........

Because P-dawg got his haircut!
And hated it! Great-Aunt Kay generously provided Preston with her hair-cutting abilities, but Preston was not very grateful. He acted like we were torturing him, screaming and crying. I don't know how in the world she didn't cut his ear off or something. Thanks Kay!
But, doesn't he look so handsome now!?
He was being such a cheeser on Christmast Eve, I had to get some pictures, because it isn't very often that he sits there and smiles for the camera.
Preston and Aunt Molly
Say Cheese!
Still showing off those pearly whites
Christmas day at the Eichmeier's with his cousins
Grandma Sue bought Daddy and Uncle Shawn a puppy dog that rolls over and laughs when you walk by.
Preston trying to knock over his bowling pins with his head
A new Sesame Street couch!
Grandma D, the girls, and P
New bathtub toys
On Saturday night, we went back to Des Moines, but stayed in a hotel for the Dixon family Christmas
Aunt Paige, Mikyla, and Preston playing with a bouncy ball. Preston loved to run back and forth in the halls of the hotel. Fun!
Tomorrow, Preston is going to head back to Greene for a few days to spend some time with Grandma Diane, Grandpa Kyle, Aunt Molly, and Aunt Paige before she leaves to go back to Costa Rica. Maybe Mommy and Daddy will do something exciting for New Years Eve......probably not :)
