Merry Christmas - Happy Birthday Jesus!

Brady (as well as Charlie and I) have had a very good Christmas.  I have repeatedly asked Brady what is important about today and he correctly answers "Jesus' Birthday" or not so correctly "God's Birthday", but he is on the right track...but he may understand the Trinity better than I do - Father, Son and Holy Ghost!

The one bummer was that the Wii that I bought the guys would not work.  I kept getting a disc error, which I finally found help for.  The help was to send it to be repaired.  I guess I will be going to Best Buy tomorrow.

Brady got a ton of stuff (of course) between Nana's house on Christmas Eve, Santa's visit at home, April's house and Nay's house.  We are very blessed!

Abbie got a Princess dress up trunk, which Brady enjoyed too!

Gifts from Santa!

The new Imaginext Fire Department.

THE BIG ONE!!!!

We have not had a big snow for a few years but boy did it make up for it this weekend.  I am not sure how much snow there was at our house - you can't tell because the wind blows so much.  Charlie said that on Saturday morning there was 8 inches on the back of his truck.  April said there was ten inches at her house.   The US mail did not run by our house on Saturday, but the paper man did.  What was up with that?  These pictures are  of our venture out into the frozen tundra.

Christmas Party

We had a Christmas party for a few of Brady's friends.  Abbie, Bradin, Ethan and Sam came over for fun, cookie decorating and lunch.  They had a blast.  (The mom's had a good time too - decorating the left over cookies and eating them.  It is nice to have an adult conversation!).  Baby Mollie came too and enjoyed being held and watching Mickey Mouse while the older kids played.

Happy 26th Birthday Unc!

My sweet brother Jimmy turned 26 on December 6.  We went to Fatz Cafe to celebrate.  Happy Birthday to my favorite brother!

First Snow - December 4

Brady, Charlie and Chipper braved the elements to frolick in the first snow of the season.  Little did we know what would be looming a few weeks later.....

Super Awesome Birthday Present

This is my super awesome birthday present from Mom.  It is a docking station/alarm clock for my Sony Walkman MP3 player.  I LOVE IT!!  Thank you Mom!!
