It seems like the last few posts I could write three posts for the one that I actually put up. This will be no different. Christmas was fun. The decorations are staying up for now because I think I need to let it all sink in still before I'm ready to put it all away until next year.
Have I mentioned how much I love family?
Noah helping his Daddy win Catch Phrase
Bryant, Jack & Beckham (my cousin's son, so technically, another cousin) chatting it up 
Sledding with the Andersons. "Mommy, I'm cold," says Bryant, with Aunt Shana
Johnny on his way down
Geoff & Michelle, the newlyweds!
Grammy & Aubrey going down. Uncle Geoff was kind enough to let the little one borrow his goggles.
I can't resist this one. He is all boy, all fun, always moving, all the time. And I love him.
A couple of stories:
We were in the store getting some last minute gifts and a lady stopped us and asked Aubrey if Santa would be stopping by her house. Aubrey looked so confused as she said, "No." And I realized: Aubrey knows who Santa is but doesn't have any idea what he "does." So as far as she is concerned, Santa lives at the store and we say hi to him there. I love that.
Nana had the idea to bake Jesus a birthday cake with Aubrey and this will now be a tradition for sure! Before we opened presents at Nana & Papa's, Aubrey announced, "No, first we need to sing happy birthday to Jesus!" So we did.
When Aubrey would open a present that she either a: didn't know what it was or b: didn't like, she would very excitedly exclaim: "Oh, it's a _______ for Mommy!" At least she was gracious about the gift, huh?
Bryant's talent? He can literally stick his entire binky in his mouth. And smile. It's pretty impressive.
I hope that everyone had a blessed Christmas.
