Christmas Day

Christmas morning Braylen wouldn't wake up. Grandma woke up early and cleaned the kitchen and then tried to wake Braylen up. I woke up from her and it was really funny listening to her try to wake him up. I hung his Santa sack on his bed so she put it next to his head and shook it so the bells would jingle and leave the room. Next thing i heard was her yelling, "who came last night? did Santa come?" But he still didn't wake up. so she went and turned on Christmas music and that didn't work. She went into his room a couple more time then he finally woke up and I heard he say,"Santa?" My mom told him to come wake me up and show me what he got so I pretended to sleep. He was so excited. He started to pull everything out. Then we went into the living room and he wanted the presents. Santa brought me a stocking too. Almost everything was for Braylen. Grandma got a couple gifts and Grandpa got a gift car. Braylen got animal toys, dino puppets, elmo med kit, different trucks, a tent, gumball machine, card of numbers, letters, shapes and colors from Aunti Rachel, tools and his favorite a vacuum. We didn't save the vacuum for last but we should have I should have known, as soon as he opened it the only thing he was concerned about was the vacuum being opened. I put up the tent and he took the drill and started to try to fix it and he tried to fix Grandma' boo boo knee too.

We went to Grandma Isabelle's before we went to Aunt Carol's because my cousin Pat and his wife weren't able to come to Christmas eve add we had to open presents together. We got Pat and Vanessa Ohio State Snuggies because they love OSU and at Vanessa's wedding shower she said joking that she wanted a snuggie. Braylen got a ball and elmo phone. the Elmo phone is able to be programmed to say the kids name. But of course it didn't have Braylen but for some reason they had Bray so Uncle John put Bray and lynn together so it said Oh hello Bray-Lynn and sounded just fine. Braylen loved the ball because it had holes all over and he could catch it. Braylen of course loved playing with Pat. Any guy that plays ruff Braylen loves.

At Aunt Carol's Braylen just played with his new toys and relaxed. Uncle Rob came over and Nate came a little later. Me and Mom sat at the table and talked to Nate while Braylen ran between rooms. I hadn't seen Nate in a long time so it was nice to talk to him for a while. It was way different from last year having a full house and kids all over. But it was great.
