Our Christmas - Finally

Yes, I am finally getting around to blogging about our Christmas. I'm not even sure why it took me so long, but better late than never. Brennan has had a runny nose and a cough for a little while, so in these pictures, his upper lip is all red.

We went to our church's Christmas Eve service on Monday night. We tried some pics at home and some at church, but most turned out way too dark.

Then here are few shots from Christmas morning.

We tried not to go overboard with toys this year, because Brennan doesn't need anything at all. The only thing he specifically asked for was "the apple tree game" (Hi Ho Cherry-O). Uncle Larry and Aunt Amanda sent him that game along with a few other gifts. It is definitely his favorite present! He has also really enjoyed playing Chutes and Ladders, playing with his new (to him) car ramp, and reading the Llama Llama books.

It was a very nice and relaxing Christmas. I love that Brennan is starting to at least be able to talk about the true meaning of Christmas. He knows baby Jesus was born on Christmas and knows about Mary and Joseph and the three wisemen. We didn't do too much with Santa, but he still said Santa brought him his gifts. I think he just heard others talking so much about it that he picked up on that too.

Now we are just trying to wait patiently for our next gift, Brennan's baby brother, to arrive!

Just a few old pics for fun!
