A Very Belated Christmas Post. KAYDENS CHRISTMAS!

Talk about being away for a while..

Oops! I haven't blogged in months. :(

Anyways, As i did this last year i thought i would continue the tradition of filming Kayden's Christmas.

This year, Kayden was totally into Santa. Noticing Santa on TV, seeing him on houses etc.

It was the first Christmas that he was actually noticing what christmas was about, and i of course was so overjoyed about this. It was such a new experience with Kayden wanting to talk to santa and look at the elves.

He wasn't quite fond of meeting Santa himself, Myself and Kayden were christmas shopping in Athlone, and Santa was doing his visits. I of course took up the opportunity to bring Kayden to meet him. Did he want to? NO! Ugh. So disappointed :( I didn't get my santa picture this year because he was so scared, and the fact he actually was screaming NOOOO, i couldn't just drag him and have that one embarrassing picture! :(

But, i reassured him that Santa would be there next year if he maybe wanted to meet him then. (FINGERS CROSSED)

So then came Christmas Eve. I swear, I was more excited then some of the kids! I was a child myself waiting for his reaction the next morning.

We left Santa milk and cookie (Yet he wasn't impressed Santa was taking his milk LOL)

He wrote his letter to santa and signed it, then off to bed he went.

Half 9 the next morning.... No sign of him! We had to WAKE him up at 10 and by half 10 he was awake enough to see what santa got him!!

EEEKKKK! you should of seen my face, i was so excited!!

So we opened the door... and he walks in...

And BAM! SANTA DROPPED OFF ALL OF KAYDENS TOYS

It was amazing to see his little face light up, and to experience his excitement that he got presents from santa!

we spend the morning opening presents, and Pietro prepared the christmas dinner (YUM!) I've bagged myself a chef ;)

We then headed of to my grandparents for the evening to exchange more presents and to see everyone that was visiting swell.

Heres some pictures of the morning.

Ive never been so grateful!

(YES, this was the mess after opening presents haha. Can you find Kayden? LOL)

Overall, It was a fantastic day! And i can't wait for next year!!

Thanks for reading :) Hope Christmas was a good one!

KAYDEN'S CHRISTMAS!

Hey Guys!

Hope everyone has a great christmas & what they wanted :)

Kayden ended up being sick on christmas day :( Poor baby!!

He wasn't too sure about the presents laid out from Santa, wasn't too impressed with his Mammy & Daddy for waking him up either!

So the morning started of around half 8, we woke up Kayden because we couldn't sleep any longer LOL! He wasn't too impressed, so we fed him upstair and i headed to get my camera to record him walking in..

He literally just stood there.. eventually waked up to the presents and found sweets and money HAHA!

HE opened the pressents and played with some, and i put him back to bed as he was unwell, he slept until 12.. which gave us time to get ready and head to My parents for dinner.

We sat down and opened out family presents and kayden get spoilt with footballs and chocolate!!

The rest of the family came over and we sat down for dinner and dessert and then went to open out Kris Kringle! 

Kayden went to bed at 7pm, and slept the whole night and woke at 9.30am! The day exhausted him, but he had so much fun!! 

So, here is the video & Pictures from the day :)

VISITING SANTA!

Hey guys!

So, This year i've been a bit nervous bringing Kayden to see santa.

Last year, he was so young and didn't have a clue what to do.

But as he is that much older, and does make strange to a few people. I knew the red suit and the facial hair would go down well with him.

Well, Last weekend we decided to bring him to see santa. I wanted to go up to Liffey Valley as it was meant to be good, but that didn't go to plan and we headed to Newbridge instead.

We went to Newbridge last year too, and I don't mind paying a bit for a picture because its a nice memory to have.

We walked up to the grotto and found that it was different, infact it was free to walk up and talk to santa and have a picture taken! (GREAT!!)

So we walked up the little path towards Santa, I was talking to kayden the whole time trying to ease him upto it. Santa was talking to a few kids before us so Kayden was just looking, taking it all in.

The kids walked off, and it was Kaydens time.

LOL it didn't go well, Kayden wasn't impressed and Santa was fairly awkward!!

Santa asked what Kayden's name was..... then turned to me and told me to take a picture!

I was like SERIOUSLY!! there was no, what do you want from santa? have you been a good boy?

I was so disappointed :( 

He made no effort in making kayden feel welcome or even spoke to Kayden himself! 

I will certainly be paying for a visit from now on, I was really looking forward to the whole experince myself!

Atleast the picture was a good one!
