Christmas, what else:)

We had a super good Christmas season this year! The weekend before Christmas, we went down to Colorado Springs, with the entire Stapp crew and had a great time. I didn't get any pictures ( I am hoping to steal some from Debbi's camera) but it was wonderful.  The 4 cousins had so much fun together, and it was amazing to watch.  We all had matching family pajamas, not sure how all the guys felt about that, but the kids sure liked it. We rented a cottage so we were are able to stay other, so the kids played with each other from the second they woke up to the second they went to bed.

Once we got home, we celebrated Christmas Eve with the Stapps again.  My parents and brother as well as Debbi's parents and Art's brother we there, too. It was a really fun time with only a minor (or major depending on who you ask) meltdown by Brennar.  He was really only interested in opening one present then wanted to get it out and play with it and could care less about opening the rest. But the meltdown came because he wanted Drew to open one of his presents so they could play with that and of course Drew wanted to open all the rest of his first, like most kids typically do. But, it all ended well when Uncle Brion opened it and Brennar got his fix of it:)

The next morning we did our family Christmas. Santa came and brought the kids each a giant stuffed bear and toy boxes as well as way too many other things! If you are around Brilee, at all, you understand how much she LOVED the bear! I am pretty sure she is going to be the kid who brings home stray pets from the neighborhood, she is obsessed with animals and the bigger and more cuddly they are, the better!

 Christmas was actually the first real snow fall here, so both the kids wanted to head out as soon as we let them.

 Brennar still wont open his eyes for the camera!!

 We went up and down the street to sled, both kids had a blast:)

 And Brennar even got in on the shoveling!!

 Brilee got her own princess car so now she won't steal any of Brennar's cars anymore

 This is why she got the bear!

 Brennar's favorite gift, from Uncle Alex, a real train, can't wait to put it under the tree next year:) He set it up  while Brilee was napping and sat with Alex for probably about 3 hours straight watching it go around and around.

 Daddy and Brennar with his bear and his "Very own Pirate" book, staring him!

And Brilee with her baby stroller - more pictures to come on what Brilee typically does with the stroller:)

Hope you all had just as merry of a Christmas as we did!!
