mikey's secret santa giffts

mikey got several secret santa gifts this year. he got a olive the other reindeer book, dvd and advent calender. also he got an amazon gift card so after much looking i ordered him a couple things today. it was really hard cause there are alot of goodies on amazon!
but i settled on this sort of peg board toy that i had seen before and thought he'd like. also a set off the size progression puzzles. i think these are both great learning toys for him. he really likes toys were he has to put things into something..like shape sorters, puzzles etc.. so i think these will be great.
and big giant huggs and thank you's to mikey's secret santa!

happy holidays and mikey is the snow

hi all, i hope and wish that everyone had a great holiday! we have been very busy but i think things will get back to normal soon.
mikey got to play in the snow a little the other day.. the snow is all gone now. anyways he liked the snow but didn't want to keep his mittens on. excuse the pink scarf! i couldn't find his so he's wearing mine.
huggs to all!

mikey's hair cut

i decided mikey needed a hair cut before christmas so i cut his hair this morning. he is being very difficult with the picture taking.. but i tried!

mail for mikey

mikey got a couple things in the mail today and yesterday.

he got a couple gifts from his grammy..who lives far away in arkansas. will show you what they are after christmas!

from land's end he got his snow boots and mittens which he really needed cause there is quite a bit of snow out there!

also he got a gift card from a secret santa! i think i know who it was... sending LOTS of love, huggs and thank you's to the secret santa! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
