Today we met at Phil and Sharon's house for their Christmas party. It was great! The food was delicious and we had a really good time hanging out with the family.
Jill passed out envelopes to all the kids. Inside everyone found their own Christmas card and $2 bill. We love that Jill gives these as gifts. You don't see them very often, but now Brayden has his own little stash of $2 bills.
Now that Brayden is 2 he really understands opening presents. He liked having Craig hold the ripped wrapping paper as he opened the pajamas and clothes that he got from Grandma and Grandpa.
Grandma and Grandpa had a surprise for the kids this year. They made arrangements to have Santa Claus come visit this year to deliver some really special gifts. Brayden was really freaked out by Santa. As soon as Brayden heard Santa's voice, he hid behind a pillow at my feet and refused to come out.
We finally convinced him that Santa was an okay guy and Brayden agreed to go up there so long as he could sit on my lap and not Santa's. He really loved the laptop that Santa gave him though. Hopefully this was the start to a more positive relationship with Santa. Next year, Brayden might even sit on his lap.
But, all in all, this was a great evening. Thank you, Phil and Sharon! And Merry Christmas!
