No Words.

This was my Christmas gift from my brother. I have no words to describe how perfect, beautiful, detailed, and amazing this is. (okay maybe I do) It captures everything about my son the colors, skin tones, hair color, eyes, just amazing! I opened it and just lost it, I couldn't talk just sobbed. Brandon is so SO talented, he worked so incredibly hard on this and I don't even know where he found the time to do it. Between all of his classes, website building, painting, sketches...etc, etc.. He did this amazing piece! I cannot stop staring at it. I found it's perfect home, in my bedroom across from my bed. I wake up to it and am just in awe everytime. This will be such a treasure to our family. I still cannot believe how lucky I am to have such an amazing brother and for him to give me such a piece of him.
Thank you a million times over...No words.

The Big Guy...

Every year we take Brayden to see the Big Man, and have breakfast. Each time it gets more fun! I have been talking to him about not being "shy" with Santa and that he needed to tell him what he wanted...Brayden is pretty shy around people sometimes, which is ok...Rest assured I know he WILL NOT talk to strangers! All week he told me, "Mom, I won't alright..I will talk."

What do you think happened? :) Still our shy little man but in total awe of Santa, of course he was a million questions when we got in the car..."Where are his reindeer? Is this the North Pole? Why does Santa come here? Is this his house?Why can't I see his sleigh? Does it land on the roof? Is Santa going away soon? Why? How does he get down our chimney? Is it magic?"

I cherish all of these little intelligent questions, this is always something I will look forward to.

He just kept staring, and staring...with the fork straight up in the air....



Afterwards, we built a gingerbread house...Well, Brady did! Yes, Brady...doesn't it look awesome?! Way better then I could do, Brayden's cute friend Izzie gave this to him and he had a blast "building" Thanks Iz!
