I’m dreaming of a White Christmas…

We have had quite the snowy winter so far, broken a few records as well.  It has been another whirlwind Christmas this year.  NovDec10Jan11 037

To start out the weekend, Chris & I went out with friends and left Brayden with Grandma & Grandpa W for the night.  It was very weird to not have him at home, but he did great for them!  Plus, we had a lot of fun with our friends, which we haven’t been able to do for quite some time.  Date nights are pretty hard to come by lately!  Although, we have had some very fun times with the little guy.  As you can see from the pictures below, we had a couple of nights of present opening, just couldn’t limit it to one!

Grandma W gave each set of grandkids the Little People Nativity Set this year, and kept one for her house as well.  I actually found them at Target, so before I delivered them, Brayden wanted to open them ALL!  We managed to hold him to only one set for himself.

 

Christmas Eve was spent with my family here in MN.  We opened presents very early this year because of the kiddos.  Brayden loved opening everybody’s presents, and all of the cousins were playing with each other’s toys.  Chris made Annika a doll crib, which she adored.  Brayden received a recliner which all of the kids wanted to sit on.  Madalyn was in heaven with her dolls…that Brayden wanted to play with too!  Then we dressed up everyone and headed to church for the Christmas Eve service.  We decided to keep Brayden with us, but he only lasted about half of the service and then had to go run!

Christmas Day we got up bright and early and headed to WI to Grandma & Grandpa S’s house.  Brayden pretty much slept the whole trip, which was nice, no stops!  We opened more presents…well Brayden opened everyone’s presents at least.  It was fun to see Aunt Kim & Uncle Tim and Aunt April & Uncle Evan, we don’t get to see them enough!  On Sunday, we went down to Great Grandma Connie’s for lunch to see more family.  Monday, Brayden, Grandma & I met with my college roommate Julie and her little guy Joe.  Joe is just a couple months younger than Brayden.  It was so great to see them!  Some day those little boys will have fun together!
