It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!






We've been having a ton of fun getting ready for Christmas this year. These past few weeks have been filled with a lot of Christmas spirit. We have our house decorated inside and out. We listen to Christmas music everynight. Colleen came over for our annual Christmas cookie baking...and of course tasting. This year we made sugar and chocolate chip cookies and some oreo truffles with chocolate frosting. I never got a picture since we ate them so fast...:)










Michael and I also took Brayden for his first visit with Santa Claus. We mentioned to Santa the request for a wagon...so we'll just wait and see. The cookie plate and stockings are ready for his visit too. We decided to not send Christmas cards this year...we sort of got a bit behind...but we have received so many great cards from our family and friends. We also received a very special letter from Santa...who has Brayden on the Nice List.










Mike and I went to his annual work Christmas party and my mom came to visit with Brayden. She brought over his Saint Nicholas gift...a Christmas Bib and threw in a present of her own too...she couldn't resist the adorable "Santa's Helper" pajamas...who could blame her?
Here are some of the pictures she took with him trying on the pj's...




I still can't believe Christmas is just over a week away...we still have lots of great things to do and see! Check back soon for more of our Christmas fun.

Hope Santa brought Brayden that wagon he's been asking for :)
