Throughout this season, we've asked Braden why we celebrate Christmas. His response has been, "Because it's Enzo's birthday!" While that is true, we have had to remind him that we are really celebrating the birth of Jesus, not our fat, lazy bulldog. We've enjoyed a wonderful Christmas season. While we really tried to focus on the fact that Christmas isn't all about the gifts, somehow Braden still ends up getting a little spoiled this time of year.
It all started with the advent calendar. Braden usually eagerly anticipates the cheap chocolate surprise that each day of advent offers. Not this year though...Matt found a Star Wars Legos advent calendar, so Braden enjoyed a different Lego project everyday instead. Surrounded by his daily treats, he's actually holding up an Ewok village he received as a gift...unsure why he's flexing!
Another Lego creation that Braden and Daddy assembled. Legos are quite possibly the best invention on earth. They keep dads busy and sons entertained for hours.
Nothing says Merry Christmas quite like a Legos Christmas tree and Yoda dressed as Santa. Understandable why these Star Wars Legos are so irresistible!
Time for Braden to decorate himself and the tree!
Flexing his muscles, Braden announced he was ready for the final touches on the Christmas tree.
With a little help from Daddy's muscles, Braden was content with the final product.
Christmas morning brought tons of excitement and way too many presents!
His expression seems to yell that this was the racetrack he wanted!
Clothes don't excite a 5-year-old much, but Star Wars slipper socks make the perfect stocking stuffer.
Standing in front of his collection, Braden displayed another favorite stocking stuffer...magnetic Star Wars Legos characters...that adhere perfectly to the oven. Braden said they look good there and it's a good way to keep them warm.
Our crazy, little elf!
