Christmas!






















I think Brady really got into Christmas this year. He loved unwrapping his gifts and was so excited to see each one. Brady loved all the attention from family and was such a good boy! He got a new slide from Santa and some new clothes, puzzles, books, trucks and a "choo-choo". He should be busy for a while.

Not a fan of Santa







Oh, the drama. We have been practicing our "Ho, Ho, Ho" for weeks and Brady has been pointing out Santa in all his Christmas books, but in person he was not having it. We watched Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive on the Fire Engine and we waved and waved and Ho, Ho, Ho'd. But when it came down to actually sitting on Santa's lap, Brady was not in the Christmas Spirit. I have never seen the poor little guy so scared. He was literally digging his fingernails into Colby and would not let go. Colby actually had to be in the pictures. He did stop mid-fit and give Santa a high five, which was very brave. The families in line behind us thought that was pretty funny. It was a great day though. We will have to wait for the perfect Santa portrait next year.
