Hutchison Christmas

Braden loved his recorded book from Uncle Alan....."The Night Before Christmas".

Christmas Morning

Braden LOVED watching "The Polar Express" this Christmas. Santa (a.k.a "My Mom") sent left Braden a very special Christmas gift (if you have seen the movie, you will understand).

His face was priceless!!

Christmas Eve

Sweeney Christmas

The beginning of our attempt to get a good picture with these silly cousins!!

Not yet...

Nope....

Why is this so hard!?!?!?

Seriously!?!?!?

As close at it gets!!!

We were blessed to have a wonderful and safe Christmas! Since both of our families live close by, we are very fortunate to spend time with both families every year....something I would not trade for anything! We started off by spending time with Ryan's family at the family farm. We had a great time but had to cut it a little short because of a white Christmas!

Christmas Baking

Sunshine Worship

Helping Mr. Jeff lead "I'm in the Lords Army"

Playing a "Jingle Bell" game while waiting for parents to arrive.

Watching a Puppet Show (He actually let me hold him...loved that!!)

Braden loves going to Children's worship on Sunday mornings. We are very blessed to have so many in our congreation (of all ages) who are willing to help with this program. We rotate each week and it was my turn on Sunday. It is so funny to watch Braden because he wants to answer every question and LOVES to sing!

Breakfast with Santa

We had a great time at Breakfast with Santa, however, you may notice there are no pictures of Santa. That would be because Braden wanted nothing to do with him!! He did fine when we went to the mall but would not even look at him when he arrived to our Breakfast...funny!!

Santa

Braden was SO excited to see Santa and did a great job. He actually smiled for the "professional" picture they took but I was not able to capture that moment with my camera. I love the one above where he first sees Santa and has such a sweet innocent smile...precious!

My Sick Boys

As usual, the winter months are bringing illness into our home! Thankfully, I have stayed pretty well (at least well enough to function!), but Braden and Ryan have been down and out! Thought this was a sweet moment I wanted to remember!
