Balloons

This past week, we had a little party to celebrate Payton's birthday. That morning, he came downstairs, and immediately he knew it was the day of his birthday party...how you ask? because I was filling up about 30 balloons with helium. For the past month, that has been his only request. "mommy, on my birthday, can I have balloons?" over and over again....



my attempt at making an elmo cake.

I did an "elmo" themed party and possibly may have gone a little overboard on the food by making too much... :) But, the important thing is that Payton had fun! He and 7 of his bestest friends played, ate, and decorated cupcakes.

Some Firsts

First time, helping decorate the tree. He really enjoyed hanging the ornaments up.
Posing with the santa hat and christmas decor.

First Christmas song that he has ever sung... not sure which song this is or where he learned it from, but it sure sounds like it should be a Christmas song... :)



First christmas program. His class is the front row. Can you tell none of them really knew the song? At least it seems he is enjoying himself... :)
