Christmas weekend 2011

Hi Chelsea and Edwin,

We hope you enjoy the pictures of Christmas so far.
We thought we weren't going to have a white Christmas but we had a dusting of snow on Friday, December 23.  Here is a picture earlier in the week before the snow.

 We think this is one of our best trees ever.  It is a Frazier fir.

 Saturday morning Brady at one of his favorite places.

 Christmas eve night after church we opened gifts to and from Grandma G.

 Egg nog and chex mix!

 Adam explaining to Grandma why he needed head phones.

 She isn't buying his explanation.

Christmas morning.  Brady woke up just before 7:00 AM.  We played with his "old" toys before the others woke up.  Notice the salad spinner is one of his favorite "toys."

 Take note of Brady's fancy Christmas pajamas.

Tim stayed overnight. Brady woke Tim up a little before 8:00 AM.  The first sock was Brady's.  He received a Lighning McQueen matchbox car.

 Notice the little monkey in the cab of the tow truck.  The small monkey is a minature of "Mozart" the monkey that Brady sleeps with.

 The biggest hit up to this point was the flashlight in Adam's sock.

 Tim gave Brady a Fisher Price dump truck.  The dump truck is now the biggest hit of the day.

 Tim gave Lady B her first outfit.

 Adam showing off his new Wisconsin Badger clothing!

 Brady was very helpful helping everyone unwrap their presents.

 We gave Brady a book where we recorded our voices reading a bedtime story to Brady.  The story is Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.

 After our gift opening we had our famous Christmas morning breakfast.  Brady helped with the pancake batter including cracking the eggs.

 Brady ever hopeful of seeing the squirrels and maybe a deer.

 Tim showing off the snow shoes he received from Santa.

 After breakfast Brady helped with the cleanup.

 Brady and Mary went outside to feed the squirrels and the deer by putting corn on the ground.

 Clifford and friends went outside to play.

 Mary with Skipper, the Pfundheller's rabbit.

 Brady petting Skipper.

Brady looking out the window to see if any squirrels or deer came to eat the corn. The squirrels are enjoying their Christmas lunch!
