I think this might be the last year that we all wake up
before Brayden on Christmas morning.
This morning, when we heard the first peep from Mr. B, all 5 of us (my parents, brother and Chris and I) stormed in to get him. He was a little taken aback...

Our attempt at a morning family picture...he was still not really sure about what all was going on!

But once we started opening his toys he really warmed up to the idea of what was happening!

Grammy and Granddaddy got B his very first red wagon and so we propped B up - can you spot him in between all the toys?

Mr. Man and his loot!

Chris and
Brayden got me a David
Yurman ring with his birthstone. It matches a necklace Mom and Dad had bought me and a bracelet that Chris and B got for my first Mother's Day.

Buster showing his Christmas spirit!

My favorite gift, I don't actually have a picture of right now. But Chris
sponsored a child in
Honduras for me for a year (we'll continue the
sponsorship of course!) through Compassion
Intl. It was my favorite gift and so, so special.
Brayden with a toy in each hand...and his mouth.

Oh, and the white Christmas part?
How's this?

That's a view of our lake. And here's the bridge leading up to our cabin.

And to show you how much snow we got, here's what was on Chris' mirror when we took off for a ride around the property this morning!

Have a Merry Christmas everyone!!!
