We spent Christmas Eve with my parents at their home and we had steak and shrimp which was delicious! Then we opened gifts and spent time enjoying each other. It was a very, very nice evening. We got home around 8:30 and we put Braden to bed and Brad and I exchanged our gifts to each other. Then it was time for Santa to come and we managed to crawl into bed just before midnight!
We had to wake Braden up Christmas morning around 8 and I was so disappointed that it rained the night before because I had envisioned him being able to spend lots of time on his new swing set. But he was excited about the swing set and he was able to enjoy the other toys that he received inside so it all worked out just fine. My parents and Brad's parents came over for Christmas breakfast and after my parents left we spent time with Brad's parents and exchanged gifts. We went to my Aunt's house for Christmas lunch at 2:00 and we were home by 5:30 and completely exhausted! However, this magical season only comes once a year and I truly enjoy being able to spend so much time with our family so to me the exhaustion was completely worth it. Till next Christmas.......
The only annoying part of the Christmas was the Chipmunks CD that I bought for Braden that we have been listening to since Thanksgiving. I will be completely happy if I NEVER hear the chipmunks again!
I hope that everyone had a wonderful and joyful holiday season!

Merry late Christmas! I'm glad ya'll had a great day. I think next year will be the magic year of the boys actually being excited!!
Do not ever make fun of the Chipmunks Christmas CD :-). Next year, play Taylor Swift's instead!!
Even Brad is sick of the Chipmunks Christmas CD and that was his favorite as a kid! When you have to listen to it for a solid month EVERY time you get in the car it gets VERY OLD!!!!!!
I think you changed your background just as I was looking at your pix! I love to remember my early days with Robert as I look at your family and the holidays. Braden is so cute and looks to be enjoying everything! I know you had a great Christmas, and we'll see you MONDAY!! :-(
