Christmas 09

We had a lovely Christmas this year. It was actually the first year we had Santa come to our very own house! Years past we have stayed the night at Grandma's house. We did the traditional Christmas Eve dinner out with the Price's (Carrabba's) then headed home to put out cookies for Santa, watch Joy to the World and read the Luke 2.
Since we are getting ready to move into our first home by Feb 1st, I wasn't sure about putting up any Christmas decorations. But I found a great deal on a beautiful live tree through Bountiful Baskets, so we put up the tree and our stockings. Just enough. And it smelled so nice, even if it was a little lopsided;)

We woke up Christmas morning and Brailyn saw the new bike that Santa brought, complete with Disney princesses, a basket and streamers! She also got some great books, lollipops and Sleeping Beauty. Then we opened our presents from Grandpa Lindsay, Alyson and Joe.



Headed to breakfast at the Prices and opened the rest of our presents with them. Then we spent the day playing Wii MarioKart, Momma running on the treadmill, Brailyn playing with her friend Shaylee, and watching UP. What a day!

She was especially excited for her new Playmobile Horse Barn
