Christmas

Christmas made it's way to the Hayward's despite the weather.
We started our festivities with our annual pinata. This year we decided to make our own (it's supposed to be a ornament) The kids did a great job decorating the pinata. All the kids plus Kyle's friend had a chance to be the lucky hitter but it was Tasha's mighty pow that tore this ornament into pieces. And then down to the floor with a couple of tears and a few not fairs they all came back up with a bag full of candy and smiles on their faces.




After the pinata we normally open two presents one being p.j.'s this year because presents were like gold we only opened one and waited for Christmas to open the others.
When we were all settled into our p.j.'s the lights went out and we nestled by the Christmas tree for our traditional Story time "When he comes again" and then after all the festivities were over to bed they rushed (yea right) and it was movie time for me (Mamma Mia)

The kids woke up at 1:30a.m. so Sam sat in the front room until 4a.m. and at 4:30 Andrew came up to our room and woke us up rattling off what everyone got. It was really cute. I think next year I am going to talk to Santa about wrapping everything.
He brought the kids webkinz and guitar hero world tour. The kids really enjoyed what they received and didn't care about what they didn't get.

This is my new coat!
and new hair cut.

I just wish that we had family closer that we could visit.
I hope you all had a great Christmas!

Awesome Pinata. I missed you guys so much over Christmas. I think Mom REALLY missed you, since she didn't have anyone at her house for the holidays. I loved reading your post and all the sme traditions you still celebrate, I think the only thing you are missing is the sheepskin rug for opening presents.

It's Blabbing day today!! Are they kidding me? A day I can just go on and on about nothing? (I bet they created this day for the children)LOL! So I found a brand of shoes that I absolutely love to look at. I have not worn or own a pair but would love to in the future. I just think paying more than $20 for a pair of shoes is crazy! And most of there shoes are $50+ These are one of my favorite!! But I haven't been able to find them cheaper than $89 that's a little steep.(I think) I will find them cheaper you just watch. They might be out of style by the time I can purchase them but I will have them. I love these too! I think I have a new hobby.. collecting shoes, now if I could only afford them. I have a couple of kids who have a difficult time channeling their Anger. So we are thinking of putting them into AKIDO (martial arts). Akido focuses on using there energy to gain control, Not on striking their opponent. I might actually need to take a few classes myself. I find chann

I have finished Callies pajama bottom's. Yea! I have also made Andrews bottoms complete with pockets. And now I only have 6 1/2 pairs to go. How cute are these? I found the Christmas tissue paper at the dollar tree and then took one roll of toilet paper wrapped it up with the tissue paper added the cute little sayings and ta da! You have a cute gag gift. We are using these for our cast party tonight. They are having a white elephant gift exchange and I thought these would be fun. I also bought hangers from the dollar tree and I am going to download these days of the week tags and package them together for another gift. What are some other gift ideas? I need four more presents. Merry Christmas! I wanted to get you something different, Something special for this year... It is always such a challenge to buy for those that you hold dear. But when you see this special gift, I know that you will sigh... It’s a special tissue just for you, To pat your booty dry! Just Thinking of You! I w
