Christmas part 1 - 2009

This year we had to celebrate Christmas a day early because unfortunately I had to work 12 hours on Christmas day... We ended up having a nice couple of days though. On Christmas Eve Eve (our Christmas Eve), Brayden had the stomach flu so we all kept our distance... The rest of us managed to avoid it somehow. These pictures are out of order like always;)
We suprised Brayden with a family gift from Boston - the Nintendo DSi! We thought he would be so excited when he opened it - but for some reason his reaction was so boring (probably because he had been so sick the day before)! Either way, we know he loves it - and here is a picture of what we had hoped he looked like when he opened the gift:) The kids gave me an adorable Precious Moments - Brianna as a princess and Brayden as a pirate - too perfect!

Here is Brianna opening her gifts on Christmas morning - she loved everything she opened! She kept saying, "this is just what I wanted!" She was so much fun this year - loved every minute of it!
Here is a picture of Brayden secluded on his sick couch Christmas Eve! This is as close as we would get to him - poor little guy! Like I said, it was still a nice day spending time together at home - just long distance!



This year we tried out the Christmas at the zoo! Aside from the beautiful lights, our favorite part was doing the scavenger hunt in the Gardens - they had a live reindeer too! Here's a picture of all of us - hard to come by!





Just loved this picture of Brianna:)





This year we got many of the kids together from our street for a gift exchange - the kids got along great! Left to right: Caleb, Cameron, Brianna, Brayden, Sophi, Brayden Polley, Chloe, Evan, Collin, Isaac
