Christmas Joy

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Our's was good. We stayed at my parents' for the week so we could go to a couple of parties. On Christmas Eve we went out to dinner with my family, then to see the temple lights for a bit. Then it was home to make cookies for Santa...



On Christmas morning we saw that Santa had brought Brailyn a rocking horse and some play doh.


Then we had a pancake breakfast and opened presents. Brailyn got a new American Girl Ity Bity Baby, some puzzles, a book, and some cute clothes. Momma got some great cooking supplies (a new mixer!) and some running shoes. Daddy got some cool gadgets (an ipod dvd player) some Academy gear, an electric razor and 2 Ken Burns dvds. Oh, momma also got a trip with the girls to shop in Palm Springs next week.


After lunch we went to Clint's family's to open presents. Brailyn got a tickle me Elmo, which was a bigger hit for the adults watching her reaction. We ate dinner therre and had fun playing with everyone's new toys (including Daddy's remote control car...)




MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The New Adventures of Brailyn

Here's a funny short story. The other day we all went to the store, and as we were unloading the groceries, Brailyn climbed into the front seat to "drive" (okay, okay, so maybe this isn't a good idea to let her do, but it's funny). She tried to put the keys in the ignition (unsafe, I know), and turns the wheel. I closed the door so I could go around and get her, and of course, she locked the doors!! Luckily we had a spare set in the house, but we had to get some pictures before we set her free. She loved it!
