We finished up our last two Christmas stops on Saturday and Sunday.  Yes my child is completely spoiled rotten and has 5 Christmases!!!  We are officially on present, sugar and chocolate overload….at least we have a week to detox before school starts back up!!

Opening presents at Grandma’s house with Grandma, Janet and Jeff, and Margaret. 

Art Supplies and an art easel!!!  He’s been coloring away!!

Sunday we met up with the Dallas Brewer’s at Grandpa and Grandma Nan’s house!  More presents and more sugar!!!  We won’t talk about the MAJOR meltdown my child had at the end of this visit.  I’m pretty sure we won’t be invited back any time soon!!!

Brady and Grandpa!  B loves his Grandpa!!!

BLOCKS!  Thank you!!

Luke and Zach got a pretty cool nerf gun game set.  Brady wanted to be one of the  big boys so bad!!

Hey guys, can I play?

So Christmas ‘09 is officially over!  I’m ready to get the decorations down and get ready for 2010!  What an eventful year 2010 will be for the Brewer household!!!  Bring on the twins!!!  Christmas next year will look a little different!

Santa’s nice

 

That’s what Brady turned around to tell us when he saw all of his presents this morning!!   He went straight to the tool bench would play for a second and then point to something else and say “wook what santa bwought mommy”  After a little bit of playing with everything he turned around and said “Santa nice”  It was worth every penny!!!!!

cookies out for santa and we’re ready for bed!

We had a great Christmas.  Thank you Santa and Grandpa and Grandma Nan for all the presents.  We are truly blessed and definitely didn’t let the day go by without remembering and teaching Brady the real reason for this wonderful season. 

Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas with the Cousins

Christmas in Rockwall was F-U-N!!  The kids are at perfect ages and it was so neat to watch them play and interact with one another!  I’ll let the pictures tell the story of our visit!!!

This is quite possibly the best picture we’ve ever gotten of all 4 of them!!  Next year might be a little more difficult!!

On wednesday we packed up and headed to Granny’s house for Christmas with the Carrell’s!  We had a blast hanging out and opening presents.  for some reason I didn’t take many pictures, but here are a few.  I wish we could have stayed longer, it was fun catching up and hanging out with eve3ryone!!

Merry Christmas!!  And thank you to all for the wonderful presents!!  I think we’re going to have to add on another playroom….and we’re only 1/2 way done with Christmas!!

Tickets Please

On Saturday, we loaded up the car and headed up to Rockwall to spend some time with Grandanny and Nana.  On Sunday Nana and Grandanny treated the Coles and the Brewers to a trip on the North Pole Express!!!!  Brady was so excited to ride the train.  We watched the Polar Express, so he ran around saying “Tickets Please” and “ALL ABOARD:!!!  The kids loved the train ride and enjoyed singing and dancing during the show before we boarded!

waiting to board the train….tickets please!!!

Brady was very shy during the singing and dancing.  In case you can’t tell, that’s the stage behind him, and yes he danced up in front of everyone the entire time!!  

Brady and Hannah dancing the night away! 

Uncle Matt volunteered to help out on stage during a special Daddy dance!!!!!

on the train clapping to the music

I think he enjoyed it…what do you think?

Santa made a special visit on the train

no tears!!!!

On Monday, Daddy, Jacob, Brady and I met the Dallas Brewers and Grandma at North Park for the train exhibit.  We had a great time watching the trains and playing at the mall!

Sweet Cousins

Sliding on the wall!  Julie and I used to do this all the time when we were growing up!  It was so fun to see our children doing the same things.   

What a fun way to start our Christmas celebrations!!  Stay tuned for Cousin time at Nana and Grandanny’s!
