We had an absolutely amazing Christmas, it really was the best one we have all EVER had! Christmas Eve was spent with the Stapp family and Christmas day was spent with the Koepps. We all had so much fun, it really is amazing seeing Christmas through the eyes of babies.
Unfortunately, Clint ended up working later than we thought on Christmas Eve so Brennar and I, (and my parents) went to church by ourselves and then came home and waited for daddy to get off work to go to Grama and Grampa Stapp's house!
This is Brennar in his Christmas outfit, he was adorable! It would have been a better picture if two people weren't taking them at the same time:)
We were so excited we couldn't stand it:) FINALLY, Clint got home and we were off! We were able to spend it with all of the Stapps - including Art's brother and his girlfriend and her son, Great Grama June and Great Grampa Lou were able to come, too. We decided to open presents first, so little ones weren't asking all through dinner when we were going to, and it worked out perfect. We all (Brion, Liz, Maddi, Drew, Clint, Brennar and I) opened our stockings first. Liz and I both got a gingerbread man shaped spatula and that is all Brennar cared about the rest of the night. He carried it around through-out presents and even had it during dinner:) Brennar was totally spoiled!! He got an amazing sled from his Uncle and Auntie - it is so cool, we can't wait to use it, it will be something that Brennar keeps forever, seriously forever, it is that cool! He also got about 100 more things, I loved everything he got, but, like I said, he pretty much liked his Auntie's spatula the best!! We had so much fun over there, it was so nice to see everyone and watch the three little kids open all their gifts. I am pretty sure that Maddi did a fashion show of EVERY outfit she got!! Brennar partied until about 10 that night, crashed on the way home, and was ready to go as soon as we got home! Unforturnately for him, he got put to bed anyways:)
The next morning we did Santa Christmas with our little family first. Brennar got a playset that has a slide, swing and ball pit, I am not sure he liked it as much as his mommy did, but thats ok, its starting to grow on him more everyday!
This wagon, from Grama and Grampa Koepp, was his favorite gift, he sat in it all day, I think
he went on at least 5 wagon rides around the neighborhood Christmas day:)
He especially liked riding with his puppy!!
As you can see, he has his "Brennar's first Christmas" outfit on, so we have completed his year of firsts:(
Here is daddy helping him with yet another toy, see all his loot ALL-AROUND him. That boy made out good!!!
Turns out, Brennar is a fan of clam chowder:) He could have sat on Grampa's lap for hours eating this with him!!
If you made it through that, stay tuned for the two birthday celebrations posts!!
Happy 1st Birthday, Brennar!! You will never know how loved you truely are!!!!!
