Brayden's 1st Christmas!!!

This past week has been very busy for us. On Saturday, December 20, we went to Buies Creek and celebrated Christmas with Matt's Papa and Grandma Nita. Matt & I found a book about Morrisville, NC, that had a picture of Papa in it back when they lived in Morrisville. We just had to get it for him.


Then on Sunday, December 21, we went back to Buies Creek and celebrated Christmas with Matt's Opa, Oma, Aunt Lynn, Uncle Sandy, Ron, Will, and Charity. Unfortunatly, Cousin Sid was sick so he and his mom, Mamie, didn't get to come. We missed seeing Sid walking and running around. Hopefully, Brayden and Sid will get to meet very soon.




On Wednesday, December 24, we drove to Albemarle and spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with my parents. We went to Christmas Eve service & Brayden slept through almost the entire service. On Christmas morning, Brayden's great-grandmother (Great Buh) and great-great-aunt Marilyn came for lunch. After lunch we opened gifts. Brayden received lots of books, a star stacker that lights up, and a shape sorter toy. I received a Willowtree angel "Angel of my Heart" from Brayden and Matt received a collage frame with pictures of Brayden to take to work.

On Christmas afternoon, we drove to Buies Creek for Christmas dinner. Uncle John & Aunt Dana came too. Brayden got more books, his first piano that attaches to the crib, clothes, and a framed Allman Brothers double album. Brayden was so worn out from all of the Christmas festivities that he slept ALL night (7 hours)! That was really his gift to me!

We all had a great time and enjoyed being with family for several days. However, we were all REALLY tired after all of the traveling!
