The Hayman's

It does not happen very often that all of my siblings and I are together.  It took some work, but I finally convinced all of them to take a picture together.  From left to right: Jared, me, my dad, my mom, Jennifer, and Joe.

Christmas Day 2012

 They are always so excited to go and see if Santa came.

 The boys got a Hot Wheels Wall Tracks.  It is a pretty fun toy!

 Riley got right to work putting together all of the kid's new toys.  I always think he is cute doing dad chores.

 Riley's grandma made all of the girls some Barbie clothes.  This is picture of all of them holding their new Barbies and Barbie clothes.

 Here is a fashion show from Jaylee's barbies wearing their new clothes.  (The four modest Barbie's are wearing grandma's clothes.)

 We had the traditional Wii Just Dance party a few days after Christmas.  This year we let the kids participate.

Papa was able to keep all of the kids attention while putting on plays with the Little People dolls.  That is quite an accomplishment.

Christmas Eve

 We spent Christmas Eve with Riley's family this year.  It was filled with all of the regular Christmas traditions.  We made gingerbread houses, acted out the nativity, played the Candy Bar game, and of course got matching Christmas pajamas.  As you can see, Jaylee was very proud of her first gingerbread house!

 Of course, we had to get the annual cousin pajama picture.  It is pretty crazy trying to get that many little kids to pose for a picture.  This was the best picture from our camera.

 The Gibb Family  -  Christmas Eve 2012

For the nativity: Brady was a wise man, Jaylee was an angel, and Easton was a cow.  They did a great job acting out their parts.

Here Comes Santa Claus!

 Two is a fun age at Christmas time!  Jaylee was very excited and nervous about meeting Santa Claus.  She thought it was a really big deal!

Christmas Programs

 Easton had his first elementary school Christmas program this year.  He was very excited because he got to play the bongos.  As expected, he took this responsibility very seriously.  I know this picture isn't great, but it was the best we could do.  Easton is in the black vest and white shirt.

Jaylee also had a short Christmas program at school.  She has become very good at singing O Christmas Tree and Jingle bells.

Give Thanks 5K

 My mom, my brother, Riley, and I all did a 5k race on Thanksgiving morning.  It was fun to do this together.  Joe finished in 21 minutes, Riley in 24 minutes, my mom in 40 minutes, and me in 30 minutes.

This was the second race that Riley and I have done together.  He has beaten me both times.

Joe finished ahead of my mom, so he ran back and completed the race with her.  That's a good son.

Jaylee Starts Preschool

 There was an opening in the 2 year old class at our preschool.  We decided to sign Jaylee up and she has enjoyed every minute of it!

 Brady was sure to take care of his little sister on her first day.  So sweet!
