Merry Christmas!

We love having Christmas morning with our kids at our house, and this year, it was a white Christmas! Cameron and I were both under the weather, so it was not the fun-filled day I had hoped it would be. He has had a runny nose for the past two weeks (found out today that he has his first ear infection), and I am still dealing with chronic hives. I also had a stomach bug and/or food poisoning a couple of days before Christmas, so I was definitely not 100% on Christmas Day. The boys had fun anyway, though.



Santa brought Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie for Braden and a Music Box Clock for Cameron. They also got a together gift from Santa: a 40th anniversary Sesame Street play set. I definitely remember a friend having one similar, or it being on a shelf in the church nursery when I was little. It was a big hit with both boys. Cameron also loves the Tap-a-Tune xylaphone he got from Nanny & Paw Paw (Braden has played with it a lot, too). Braden also got a Nerf basketball goal (it's hanging over his closet door). He and David have already played countless games of HORSE. Braden finally won a game last night. I think they're planning to move on to ELEPHANT soon. David is difficult to beat since he likes to shoot backwards or bank it off the ceiling.



Braden got a big surprise gift...

The note says that we are going to Disney World! David is attending a four-day seminar there for work, and Braden and I are tagging along. It should be fun! Cameron will stay home with Grammie. It just wouldn't work to have a baby in tow with David in class all day and me taking Braden to the parks all by myself. We couldn't pass up this once in a lifetime opportunity, though. I hope we'll get to take him one day when he's older. Anyway, we had a nice Christmas together. Happy birthday, Jesus!
