Christmas has come and gone. Well, not really gone as my house looks like Christmas has exploded all over it! I have to figure out where to put everything! This being said, we had a really good one. We got to spend time together as a family for Baylor's 1st Christmas and had time with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins as well!
We had a series of celebrations to keep us very busy. On Christmas eve, Max, Connie, Billy, Kelly and Craig came over. This was Brighton's 1st taste of really opening gifts. He has never really gotten into it before now. He wanted to open everyone's and had to have a little lesson about taking turns. It was so cute though.
It was a very fun afternoon/evening.
Brighton was surprisingly easy to put to bed that night. We fixed Santa's plate of cookies, and milk, sang a few songs (Christmas tunes of course) and he was off to bed without any problems. No doubt our earlier celebrations with the Flowes had tired him out pretty good!
Somehow, we all managed to sleep in on Christmas morning! WEIRD, I know! When we did get up, we found out that Santa had come!! YAY! Brighton was so excited. The main thing that he had been asking for this year was a Batman cave. Santa delivered, along with some surprises. We had fun watching him play with all of his stuff, and then sat around the tree and went through the stuff in our stockings and opened some more gifts.
Rachel, Donnie and MawMaw came over later that morning and we had another celebration. After lunch we all went outside to test out some of Brighton's gifts! Things were just getting better and better for Brighton!!
After some afternoon naps, the 4 of us went to my mom's house to celebrate with my parents, Lacey, Mickey, Jameson and Michael. The kids were WIRED! My dad made his famous beef tenderloin and then more celebrations!!
What a very merry Christmas. Now we are all very concerned about Brighton. He has loved Christmas and Santa more than any other child I know. I think he will be belting out "White Christmas" until March. Hopefully he will not take it to hard when we undecorate. He was asking me this morning in the car why there was no Christmas music on. He is a happy little boy though and we are all so lucky to have so many people in our lives to share our Christmases with!! Oh and as a very special Merry Christmas to Jason and I, Baylor started sleeping through the night a week ago!!
