Christmas Party-ing!

The week before Christmas was Josh's company Christmas party. They held it at a kid and adult friendly arcade. Aaron wasted little time and was excitedly running around with a red face as soon as he was turned loose! It was very funny and more entertaining to us than any of the games! One of his favorites was the pre-school bounce yard. He went back in several times!

He also mastered the game below...he could swipe his game card, pull the lever, push the stop button and collect the tickets, all by himself! His favorite part of any game though? ...scanning the "credit" card!

Fortunately, a company party meant time spent with Uncle Geek too! It's a shame Grandpa couldn't make it in time:(

Well, another snowfall meant more time outside with Daddy! Here Aaron is helping Daddy build a snowman...it's a posed picture, he really didn't have much to do with it and spent his time wandering the yard or climbing the front steps!

On Christmas Eve, we headed to Josh's parents house to spend the night. His grandmother was also there which made for four generations of Orahoods celebrating together! As we were getting dressed to go, Aaron flat out refused to put his corduroy pants on and instead chose and INSISTED on wearing his pineapple swim trunks. It was Christmas...why fight it?;)

Josh's family's tradition is to open a single gift on Christmas Eve...Aaron got this great RC car and really enjoyed figuring it out. He particularly liked parking it under the ottoman! (As you can see, I finally wrestled him into his pants!)

Christmas morning brought more present fun! Aaron was a present opening champ for well over half the morning!

And one of his coolest gifts of the day...his own power wheels Harley! We can't wait for the weather to change so we can tear up the streets! Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma O for such a great Christmas from gifts to food to conversation and back again!
