Merry Christmas!

I got in trouble with my dad for not posting today, so here goes.

On Tuesday we headed to Bass Pro Shops to get a free picture with Santa...as you can see, Donovan was not excited about it. He was excited to see "ho ho", but didn't want to go near him.

He shot guns for a while before we came up with an idea.
We had Addi that day, so she let us use her stroller.Here's what we came out with. A nice picture of Donovan and Santa...and a pretty pink stroller.
We let Donovan open one of his presents early because he ripped it. After that, all presents remained in the closet until this morning.

His Grandma Mindy sent him dog puppets. He immediately named two of them Ivory, and Rocky (my parent's dogs) and he even made the hacking noise that Ivory makes. We spent Christmas Eve with the Hiatt's and the kids exchanged presents. Donovan got this awesome game that I'm sure he'll love to play!

After 20 minutes of trying to get up our hill after leaving the Hiatt's and dropping off the missionaries, Donovan and I trudged up the hill in the drifts of snow while Brad parked the car at a gas station close by before walking home. What a great Christmas Eve story. When we finally got inside and Donovan was freezing, we decided to open his nice cozy Christmas jammies from Grandma and Papa G. He actually really liked them! And he looked so adorable! Like his hair? It's from his hat. When you walk through that much snow in windy Iowa, you can judge me for leaving his hair this way.
Christmas morning was awesome! Donovan was so excited about all the presents. I don't think I opened anything without help.

Super hero cape from Granny (Superman on one side, Batman on the other).He got plenty of fun toys! We are going shopping with some of the money we got from both of our parents. I'm sure Donovan will have a blast picking out more toys and clothes!
