It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Christmas 2011 was a blast! Bree just loved it and that made it so much more magical for Brady and I too! We traveled north on I-35 to Wynnewood to stay with my parents for 4 days.  Bree just loved spending time with her Nonnie and G.  And I know they loved the time spent with her! On Christmas Eve night, we opened our gifts with Nonnie and G.  New kitchen, cleaning cart, baby high chair, chefs apron and hat, coloring books and crayons, books.....Bree was in awe of all the presents she received.  She had so much to play with.  She wanted to open up and play with EVERYTHING!! Nonnie and G sure spoils this girl.... although they say she isn't spoiled.  We had a few firsts for Bree while in Oklahoma: she baked her first batch of Christmas cookies with Mommy and built a gingerbread train for the first time. 

On Christmas afternoon, we went to Aunt Gigi and Uncle Chris's house! Bree had a great time playing with her cousins: Marlee, Layton, and Jade.  Brady and I also enjoyed getting to see our family and fellowship with them.  We had some good food too!! Brisket, Nonnie's potato salad (my favorite!), corn casserole, mashed potatoes, deviled eggs, and homemade bread.  YUMMY!!!  After we ate, all the kids opened their gifts.... once again Bree was super excited for her presents.... mixer set for her new kitchen, flashlight, books, Wow Wow dvd, puzzle, an Owl themed plate and bowl...... Anytime she hears the word "presents" now, her eyes light up! 

When we got back to Texas, Santa had left Bree a few gifts here!

During the week after Christmas, Brady's team played in the Whatabuger Tournament.  On one day of the tournament, Nana and Pop came to go watch the game and we had Christmas with them while they were here too.  And of course, Bree was super excited for more presents!!!  Clothes, basketball goal, Little Tikes Carnival, boots........
