Happy Birthday Brandon and Merry Christmas

Well Brandon turned 27 on December 24th!! Poor guy gets to have his birthday on Christmas Eve so his Birthday is always crazy busy. He is always such a good sport about it though. This year he had to work half a day but then we went to lunch and then did Cake and presents at his parents house. Well thanks to my post baby brain Brandon had to be really patient with me. I bought him a black sweater vest, well he already has one and in fact he was wearing it that day and I bought him the same book that my mom bought him last year. Wow I am so dumb. I felt really bad, but he just smiled and said it was ok. After we were done with presents we got to head straight into Christmas Eve traditions and parties.

Christmas was a good but a difficult holiday this year. First we woke up and opened presents, well I bought Brandon a watch for Christmas but I ordered it online, well lets just say it still was not here in time for Christmas. He got to see a picture of it on the computer though. :) Once again he was a good sport about it. Then we got all ready and got everything in the car, well we had some serious snow at our house plus some really strong wind so after 3 attempts to just get out of our neighborhood we had to wait while our snow plow guy plowed a spot for us to get out. Once we were finally on the road we began our way to the 1st of SIX houses for the day. Yes I said six, every year we do this and I am determined that this is the last year we will do it. We have four sets of grandparents plus our two parents that we need to make it to for Christmas. Once we got to my parents (our 2nd stop) my brother let us borrow his truck for the day so that we would not slide all over the road. We really did not end up needing it because the roads were really well plowed and Brandon told me that before we even took it but me being the paranoid mother that I am insisted on taking it anyway. (we ended up needing it the day after Christmas so that I could make it to my doctor appointment, thanks Tyler)Anyways, we then continued our day. We are so blessed to have all our family living so close by. Once we were done for the day we headed home where we bathed Easton and then crashed for the night. Wow, now that I have told you every detail :) Here are some pictures.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!

You poor thing. I still have baby brain. I really don't know if it ever goes away either. I hope it does. I guess our mind is purely focused on the baby and no one, or anything else. I don't know if you seen or heard of that movie "4 Christmas's," however they should make a movie called "6 Christmas's," staring the Olson's. That is crazy. Well, he is looking so CUTE! His little smile is precious. I can't believe how much he has already matured. It is truly amazing. Well, I will see you when we get back to UT and I will come and visit again.

My goodness Easton looks like his daddy! What a crazy Christmas. That is one reason I am glad Matt's family lives in California so we don't have to try and get everyone in one day. I am glad you had a good Christmas!
