Christmas with the Holbrooks

Christmas at our house in Raleigh: I have been getting the Willowtree Nativity Scene for several years now and finally have everything, including the manger that my dad built for my birthday!


Brayden trying to decide if he should touch the tree or not...for the first 3 weeks it was up, he was scared of it and finally last weekend decided that he should start messing with the tree.
We started our Christmas by traveling to my parents house on Dec 23. Shelli traveled all the way from California to meet Brayden for the first time!
We spent Christmas Eve hanging out with my parents, Santa, and the cats.

and then went to Christmas Eve service at First Lutheran Church. After church, we had dinner and laid out cookies and milk for Santa. Brayden couldn't decide which of the 3 types of cookie he wanted to leave Santa so he left one of each!

On Christmas morning, Brayden woke to find that Santa had come to visit.

Merry Christmas! Glad you all had a good holiday! Which church service did you end up going to? We went to the late one, and Megan made it about halfway through. Hope to see you soon in 2010! Happy New Year!
