Wednesday, Braydon got a surprise from his Aunt Dani, who picked him up at the babysitter, so he could spend the afternoon with her. They had a good time shopping together - Braydon walked the entire mall himself.
Thursday: Braydon and I headed to Perry to spend the day with the Lundstroms. Joel, Kristen, TJ & CT came to Perry Wednesday night, Andy, Jenn & Ava arrived around 1pm. So we hung out all day, letting the kids play together. Charlie and Braydon love to tackle each other and "play" with the dogs.
Joel, Lumpy, Tyson and I even went sledding for a little while and made snow angels.
Thursday night we went to Grandma Marcia's for dinner with Great Grandma Dar, Uncle Jeff & Cousin Renae. We had a great Christmas meal and even got a few presents!
Friday we headed to Great Grandpa Winks for Christmas on the farm. We had a good meal and finished the afternoon with some sledding. It was snowing all day and it was so peaceful out. Braydon didn't get to sled this year because he decided to take a nap instead. But once he woke up he did enjoy giving his 2nd cousin Kate a few kisses! (not very smooth)
Saturday morning we opened up presents with Grandma Marcia and Aunt Dani. Braydon got some really fun stuff, but I think his favorite toy is his very own laundry basket to play in!
Then we headed to the Lundstrom's where the only kid interested in opening presents was Tyson! He did a great job of handing out presents and reading names.
That afternoon we got all the kids bundled up and headed to play in the snow. Braydon put his new boots on and wasn't so sure about going outside. We put him on the sled with Tyson and right away it tipped over and Braydon got a face full of snow!
On to plan B: I got to ride the sled with Braydon while Ryan pulled us around the yard. We went for a walk around the block like this with Joel pulling Tyson and Lumpy pulling Charlie.
Sunday we got to have our little Christmas and Braydon was a little interested in presents.
That afternoon we headed to Cedar Rapids to see Great Grandma Noonan. She was pretty excited to see Braydon and show off Braydon and Ava to the nurses.
I didn't do a very good job of getting group pictures this year, but we did manage to get a good one of us on Christmas Eve
We had a great Christmas! Thanks everyone for everything - Braydon definitely has everything he needs and then some!
