We started out celebrating Christmas with our small group on Wednesday night. We had lots of good food and enjoyed spending time together. We have the most AMAZING group of friends! Matt, Brayden, and I are incredibly blessed to be part of this group!
The boys (Brayden, John, and Brian) watching a movie together.
Thursday was spent doing things around the house and getting last minute gifts. Matt & I also went to Brayden's class party at school.
Friday, we all slept in and hung out together. I even took a nap while Brayden was napping!! I haven't done this in a LONG time! It felt so nice!! We all went to church together for Christmas Eve service then Matt's parents arrived. We had a nice dinner together and Brayden put out cookies for Santa and carrots for Rudolph before going to bed.
Brayden carried Santa's cookies to the fireplace all by himself! He was so proud!
Christmas morning, we all got up to see what Santa brought Brayden. Brayden got a new train (Percy), play dough, Color Wonder paint, and The Letter Factory movie.
Of course, he was most excited about the train!! After Uncle John and Aunt Dana arrived, we had Christmas breakfast then opened gifts! Brayden got 2 new train sets, a soccer goal, a Elmo Potty book, big boy underware, several cars, and Sir Topham Hatt's car (from Thomas).
My parents & grandmother were supposed to come after lunch, but because no one knew if/when it was going to snow, they opted to stay at home. After Brayden's nap, we opened the gifts from my parents. Brayden got a tricylce and another train set!
About 9pm it started to snow and didn't stop until after lunch today!! We got a total of about 6". It was a great packing snow so we made a snowman this afternoon! Brayden also helped Matt clear the sidewalk and driveway today.
Our house in the snow. The tree in the front yard had at least 50 robins in it before we came outside. They were LOVING all of the berries left on the tree!
Brayden did not enjoy the snow while the snow was still falling.Can't say I really blame him though...it was COLD!!
Helping clear the sidewalk with Daddy!
Our snowman :)
Merry Christmas!
