My sister thought that buying Aiden a drum set would be a great present. All I have to say is Gavin's Birthday is in a few weeks so watch out, but it is pretty funny to watch him play.
The big hit was a new tricycle from Uncle Doug and Aunt Ellie. We tested it out the next day, but I need to find some pedal blocks to help him reach the pedals.
Blowing out the candles together.
Mimi and Pop sent birthday money so Aiden picked out this train set. It has a remote control that makes the train go. Pretty neat. Uncle Ryan sent extra train sets and buildings to go with set he got Aiden for Christmas. That one is going to take alot of time to try and put together, so there aren't any pictures yet.
We also had is two year check-up on that Friday and he is 32 lbs and 36 inches tall. We attempted to draw blood so we could test for possible allergies and that was HORRIBLE!! They tried in he's first arm and he was so upset he blew the vein and they could find a good vein in the other arm. They did get some to test, but the things we were looking for like grass and mold they couldn't test so we'll just wait till he's older and do the skin test. Hopefully it will be less traumatic.
Aiden and I got to celebrate our birthday a little early.
I don't get to open my own presents anymore, because Aiden thinks they're all his.
I had been searching for a bag to use instead of a diaper bag while we have been in Florida. Thanks to Grams and GD the search is over.
The clothes weren't as big a hit as the books.
One good thing about having a birthday close to Christmas is you get to open presents for about a month.
Aiden would run after the ball and pitch it to Travis.
Aiden's Great Aunt Donna bought him this chair for Christmas and Aiden was helping Ryan blow it up.
Aiden moved to the outfield and would catch the ball and throw it to Ryan so he could throw it to Travis to hit.
What a fun day of playing ball!
This one was Aiden's favorite. They had a Christmas scene inside the lens.
I wasn't sure if Aiden would ride the train by himself, but he walked right up and go on.
When we got home Aiden opened his Christmas Eve present, PJs.
Christmas puppy pjs
And Elmo slippers.
Before bed we put out cookies and milk for Santa.
Christmas morning was lots of fun watching Aiden open everything. We let him open all his presents first and after he would unwrap one he wanted to take it out and play with it. We had to convince him that once he opened everything he could play with all his new toys.
GD found a pair of pants that have fake boxers sewn into the top of the pants.

Aiden decided he wanted to go for a swim.
One of GD's and Gram's friends came over on his golf cart and took Aiden for a ride down the street. It was the nicest golf cart we had ever seen decorated in FSU colors.
Yesterday we went over to Gigi's and went to the beach for the day. The last time we were at the beach Aiden was six months old and fell asleep in my arms walking into the surf.
Aiden got a wagon with sand toys to use at the beach. He had a great time destroying what Grams and Ryan built.
The water was pretty cold, but it didn't seem to bother Aiden. He and GD got right in and played in the water. He even fell in the surf and just got back up.
We hope everyone had a great Christmas and was able to spend time with the one's they love.
