MeRrY ChRiStMaS!!


Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas this year! We had a really nice one. We had a nice X-mas Eve dinner with Justin's family and a nice X-mas day breakfast with them too! Brennan got lots of cool presents... The "Pop Tunes" Guitar, a remote control car, and a homemade blanket from Auntie Sam were a few of his favorites. Today Aunt Sam, Grandma & Donald, and Nicole & Aaron all came over for our own little Christmas visit. It was a lot of fun to see them. One present Brennan got today was an awesome alligator stuffed animal/ pillow from Grandma. It's super cute and soft and can be a pillow or fold up to be a stuffed animal. What little kid wouldn't love that? Well Brennan did NOT want it. As soon as he opened it and saw it, he was just scared of it. We tried to get him used to it, but he wanted nothing to do with it. It was really funny. Throughout the rest of the evening, he warmed up to it and now he loves it. He couldn't go to bed without it. He is now peacefully sleeping with his alligator pillow, his new blankie, his teddy bear, and a dinosaur toy Nicole gave him. He had to have it all to go to bed. Anyways, it was a nice Christmas and Brennan is one happy boy... thanks to his awesome family for all the gifts! Next comes his birthday on Thursday... he's gonna be one spoiled kid!

Happy Halloween!!


We had a fun little Halloween this year! Brennan was a turtle... I loved his costume! Unfortunately I had to work so I was afraid I wouldn't be able to take him trick or treating... but luckily I got off early and made it home early enough. He loved trick or treating. He went right up to the doors and and said "treat" cause he had a little trouble saying the whole "trick or treat." He gripped onto his pumpkin candy basket and wouldn't let anyone else touch it. We went home, had a few pieces of candy, and called it a night.

The Fair....



We took Brennan to the fair last night and it was a lot of fun. I wasn't too sure if he was quite big enough to enjoy it, but he did. We started the night with some yummy fair food then walked around the fair booths for a while. We went and saw all the animals and fed some. We even saw some farm lady milking a goat and the she must have been thirsty because she started drinking the milk straight from the utter! It was.... interesting. We ended the night with a few games and rides. It was a lot of fun and I'm sure we'll go back next summer!

Eagle Lake....

We had a ton of fun at Eagle Lake this year! It was really cool to see everyone there. Despite Brennan getting sick for a day or two, it was way worth the trip. Brennan loved spending some quality time with his cousins and made a new friend, Drew. Since we've gotten home he has called out Reese's and Drew's names countless times. Here are some of our favorite pics of the week...
