On Friday Jason and Hayden left for the farm in the morning and Clara and I went to Fargo for her recheck. She was up to 11 lbs. 4 oz and gained 1 lb. 2 oz in 11 days. She is now only bottle feeding and is a very content baby. She is even starting to not want to be rocked to sleep. This makes me a little sad, but she will snuggle with me for a little bit and then she just wants to be put in her crib and left alone. She's growing up too fast. Jason and Grandpa Randy went ice fishing on Friday and caught a few fish. Hayden and Joy went to check out their progress. I guess Hayden didn't quite know what to think of the holes. That evening Jeremy, Heather and Tank showed up and we opened up presents.
On Saturday we all hung out and Jeremy, Heather and Hayden went for a Prowler ride. Hayden said that Jeremy drives bumpy! Which is what Hayden likes! That afternoon we went to church in Marion and then to Jason's grandma's for dinner and more presents. It was fun to see the Piehl famiy.
On Sunday morning we got up to see what Santa brought. We actually had to wake Hayden up! He was a tired little guy from all the Christmas festivities. He woke up and saw that he got some puzzles, underwear, socks, a book, alphabet flashcards and was wondering where his rock guitar was that he asked Santa for. There was a package that he opened up and there it was....a rock guitar! He was pretty excited! The guitar Santa brought wasn't quite right because you have plug it into a speaker in order to hear it, so I had to run to Alco and see if they had something that would work. Thank goodness! Next year we'll have to be more specific with Santa! ;) Clara got some books, the movie Beauty and the Beast, clothes and a toy. We then set off for Forman. We stopped in Lisbon long enough to drop off the pick up and then went to Forman. Emily, Scott, John and Sara showed up shortly after us. We had lunch and then opened more presents. That evening we had our traditional Christmas meal.
On Monday the weather was so nice that Emily and I went for a walk. It was nice to get some fresh air and to catch up with my sister. The boys even got to go to the golf course and do some golfing. I don't know if there has even been golf in ND on the day after Christmas.
We had a wonderful Christmas weekend. We are so very blessed to be able to spend the holiday with both sides of the family. We had a great time celebrating Jesus' birth. It seems like Christmas just keeps getting better now that we have children and Hayden is able to realize what is going on. I look forward to many, many years of wonderful Christmas memories.
