Aunt Chantel's Wedding

Kylie is growing up on us!  This week she decided to completely ditch naps.  Sad day for me!  So instead she is getting some 'quiet time' where she plays in her crib for a bit so I can have a break.  Unfortunately, Hayden seems to know whenever I want to do something so he wakes up and demands attention.  With how much a baby sleeps you would think I would be able to get something done, but no!  Not with two kids demanding your attention all day long!

Hayden really likes to be held, especially while sleeping, so we decided to get him his Christmas gift early:  a swing!  He likes it, if he is already asleep.  If he is awake he won't stay in there too long.

This week Aunt Chantel got married!!  I wasn't planning on going, because of young infant and snow and flu/cold season, but somehow Brandon coerced me to come along with him, so Hayden got his first family trip!  He did great on the car ride up (slept the whole time), and even Kylie got in a short nap before she started her movie.

We arrived up north just in time to get everyone dressed and then rush to Aunt Chantel's wedding.  We all had a great time visiting with family and seeing beautiful Chantel and her new hubby McKay, but I think Kylie had the best time.  She was so cute in her new dress from Grandma Shari that she could get away with practically anything that night.  They had a little photo booth set up, and Kylie would pop in on everyone and ruin pictures.  In fact, random people would say goodbye to Kylie, calling her the little "photo bomber", so I guess most people weren't too upset.  Grandpa Pete was also there doing the pictures so we got to visit with him as well!!  And Great-Grandma Naylor had a fun time holding Hayden.

Hayden finally got to meet Grandpa Gary!  And Uncle Jordan!

We also did our Christmas with Brandon's family.  They spoiled us like they do every year!  Kylie really loves her new PJ's and her princess castle with horses that 'clip clop' down the ramps.

For the wedding, Aunt Chantel had life-size cutouts of Uncle Dallan and Aunt Kendra, since they are on their missions and couldn't attend.  Kylie would laugh at the Uncle Dallan cutout, but I caught her having a whole conversation with the Aunt Kendra cutout and then waving goodbye to her.  It was the cutest thing.

On Thursday we spent the afternoon over at my family's house.  Kylie had fun with Grandma Tess and Hayden just ate and slept... typical.  Grandma Tess made the cutest hat for Hayden, a little Santa hat with an attached beard!  He keeps trying to eat the beard, but he is super adorable in it!  Grandpa Pete got some cute photos of it.

On Friday Grandma Shari finally got her Hayden time in before we had to leave that afternoon.  Once again Hayden slept the entire way, and Kylie was okay until about the last hour when she was overly tired from the past few days and sick of being in the car.  Luckily she finally went to sleep, but lots of crying was involved.  

Now we are back home and back to our schedules!  Or lack of them, seeing as Kylie's ditching naps and Hayden doesn't really have a schedule.
