Christmas is definitely my season! I love everything about it, except for the shopping. It's stressful and distracting. So this year we got it done really early. This is what our tree looked like by the 9th of December.
But even though I hate shopping, I love watching my family unwrap their gifts. We waited for Brayden to wake up this year before we started.
Craig and I took turns helping Brayden open his presents. He did a lot better than last year, but we still have a way to go until he can open them by himself.
He did seem to enjoy the end result though. This year, we were kind of boring and bought him a lot of books, but I couldn't help throwing in a Disney movie or two.
Craig didn't miss out on this opportunity to spoil me. I got all kinds of neat things. He is so creative when it comes to buying presents.
I did my best to be creative, but I tend to go with the obvious. He kept breaking our plastic dart, so I bought him metal darts. Seemed logical to me.
This was one of our favorite books growing up and it is such a cute story. We were really excited to give this one to him. I can't wait to read it to him tonight.
While we were opening our presents, I had our traditional breakfast cooking in the oven. It's this delicious breakfast casserole that you make the day before, so Christmas morning is really easy. I've wondered what our other Christmas traditions will be, but this is definitely one of them.
Now that we are dressed and ready, it's off to Nana's to open more presents!
