It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

With all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it's easy to forget the true meaning of Christmas. What a wonderful time of year the Christmas season is!

Braden wished Baby Jesus a Happy Birthday!

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).

Braden was a very good boy this year, so we spoiled him a little bit!
The expressions on Braden's face when he saw his presents were so fun to see. Matt picked out this remote control plane and train set that Braden absolutely loved!! He did get it all put together and Braden wants to play with it nonstop!
Taking a break from playing with his train & plane set, Braden played a tune on his harmonica.

Back to playing with the remote control plane and train set!

All the playing wore Braden out. He took a break to read one of his new books.

The reactions to gifts are always priceless!

We enjoyed a nice day with Gramma and Papa at our house.

Papa and Braden have a hard time resisting being silly!

For a brief moment, I thought we could actually get a family picture taken. Braden just couldn't contain his laughter all day!

Gramma must have slipped Braden some MnMs to bribe him into posing for this photo.
