Christmas 2008

Christmas was extra special this year with our son present!  He was too small to to open gifts on his own, but we were very willing to help.  Mommy and Santa had a talk earlier in the month and she passed on Braedyn's wish list.  It seems that other relatives were thinking along the same lines as he received three sweater vest outfits!  Now he is ready for any occasion and will have a hard time picking out just the right clothes!

We spent Christmas Eve evening with Grammie and Papa's family.  Traveling to church in Sunbury to hear Uncle Nathaniel play the drums at service and Listen to the heavenly voices of Aunt Chelsea's parents.  Christmas morning we continued our tradition of starting the festivities at home, as Santa had dropped by, and then went back to Grammie and Papa's for breakfast and gifts there!  Bradeyn slept for a lot of it, and woke up in time to open his gifts with mommy and daddy's help.  Before leaving we made a stop at the neighbor's to show off his reindeer costume that they had given us!

Christmas afternoon we met with Grandma and Grandpa's family at their house.  Cousin Connor needed a little reminding about opening gifts, but after the first one, he tore into them!  Great Grandma and Great Grandpa were also there, and were able to spend a little more awake time with their great grandson!  Again, Braedyn needed a little help with his gifts, but was blessed to be with family.  what a joyous and blessed first Christmas!
