White Christmas Day!

Yep, the snow/ice mix stuck around so we had our first ever WHITE Christmas this year here in Texas!  I'm so excited it really felt more festive this year with the snow outside that we so rarely see.  Brant got up this morning and was thrilled to discover the amazing amount of presents that Santa had brought for him along with a family gift of a new 32 inch flat screen TV and a Wii for the family to play on.  We all opened our items from our Santa in our stocking and those that Brant had sitting out he went through and had a huge smile when he discovered that Santa did bring him the bakugan toys that he promised him in the video message he got from the North Pole.  Santa really went all out this year and we had  a great time looking through everything before opening our gifts to each other.  Brant was overjoyed when he saw that he got his own i-pod touch handed down to him from Mommy (thanks again Grandma for giving it to Mommy) since Mommy plans on getting an iPhone when her phone is eligible for an upgrade in a few months.  We had fun opening toys and playing together, then Brant and I went outside so he could play in the snow.  There was an icy layer over the snow so it was really hard to try to make a snowman so Mommy made a tiny one and had Brant pose next to it before he begged to throw a snowball at it to knock it down.  We were supposed to go to Aunt Mo's house around 11 to celebrate Christmas with Mommy's side of the family but the roads were yucky so we postponed it an hour to let the roads melt a little more.  We had a lot of fun at Aunt Mo's house we had some brunch and openened presents.  Brant helped Riley open his presents and then "helped" Riley play with his toys by playing with them himself  "to show him how".  The boys had fun with Grandpa and Brant wrestled around with him.  Then it was time to head home for a nap and down time before getting a chance to play with some of the gifts that we got for Christmas.  It was an amazing Christmas for us this year, and we are so very blessed to have all the wonderful people in our life and be able to celebrate Christ's birth with giving gifts to each other in remembrance.  I really look forward to next year when my new niece or nephew will be here to celebrate with us.
