The amount of excitement and anticpation that is felt around Christmas time is something that would be great to feel throughout the year. It's so fun to experience the wonder and happiness that Braden has when he sees anything that is associated with Christmas.
We celebrated the most wonderful time of the year at home this year. Although Matt had to work much of Christmas weekend, we were still able to enjoy some time as a family.
Braden didn't mind the simplicity of the day. We are attempting to instill the importance of Christmas being much more than just receiving presents.
Braden made a couple observations that were humorous. After opening one of his toys, he said, "Hmmm, Santa shops at Target!" It happened to be broken, so he commented that we can just return it to Target for Santa.
He examined the box for a game he received and said, "I guess Santa knows how smart I am because this game is for kids that are 8 and older."
Braden makes every Christmas more and more enjoyable!
On Christmas day, I asked Braden if he dreamt of sugar plums the night before. He looked at me strangely and said he dreamt of Santa getting really sick from eating all the cookies at everyone's homes and suggested we leave him something healthy next year.
On Christmas eve, the neighbors dropped by a gift for Braden, so we let him open it. He made car sounds until he finally wore himself out and passed out!
Braden never fails to rise with the sun. Of course Christmas morning was no different. 
He immediately went into pirate mode when he opened his new book. 
One of his favorite gifts was a remote control car that transforms into a monster truck. 
He thought it was hilarious to crash the car into my feet as I took a picture.
