Merrry Christmas*2011

I'm a little sad writing this the morning after Christmas....I can't believe its already over! This season went way too fast and I'm not ready to take down the tree or decor and for Christmas music to stop being on the radio! Breyton had the best time over the weekend though. He has always been a people person and loves all the attention he gets at gatherings. Breyton is the only little kid on either side as I have mentioned before, so he is THE entertainment at family get togethers. I will say that child is never lacking on energy or craziness! He can go ALL day.... and Saturday he did....he didn't nap once and was up far past his bedtime still running around laughing and being silly. Thankfully Christmas day he did fit in a short nap, however he was up till almost midnight which has never happened before, but with the business and excitement of the day it was to be expected. Each year gets better and better with Breyton at Christmas because he understands more and gets really excited! B got plenty of presents and was really into opening them this year and loved everything he got. I got a few priceless videos that will be so fun to look back on some day of him opening stuff and the facial expressions he made!
This year was also very special because it was our first Christmas to have miss Brooklynn! Breyton really loves his cousin and talks about "Brook-en" a lot. She is a very sweet and special baby to our family and with her hard beginning it really is an answer to prayer that she was here with us to celebrate this holiday! We all love her so much and cant wait to watch my niece grow because she is already such a beautiful baby girl who is proof God does miracles everyday.
As much as we enjoy watching them get gifts we always want Jesus to be the center of our Christmas. Even though Breyton is still young we started doing small things to make sure he grows up knowing the real 'reason of the season'. I look forward to many things for future years to come....but this year we mostly cherished Breyton being a little boy still and how he gets excited about all the little things! And of course getting to spend time with all our family eating good food. This Christmas will definitely be a special memory and we are truly so blessed to have Breyton and Brooklynn in our lives!

I don't have all the favorite pics uploaded to the computer yet, but here's a few from Christmas day:
