Christmas 2012 was definitely a Christmas to remember. Brynlee was so much fun this year. she thoroughly enjoyed opening gifts. she was so excited to receive gifts. and she has actually played with most of what she received!
to start our christmas off, we began at home with our family of 3. my favorite time was watching Brynlee open her stocking. she took each thing out one by one and looked it over and then moved onto the next item.
it seemed the theme of gifts to Brynlee from us this year was "cleaning supplies". we gave her a toy vacuum and a broom and dust pan set. she was thrilled with both though! i hope she clings to that love of cleaning!
we continued christmas festivities with a trip to tulsa where we stayed through christmas. a tradition that family started last year was to have "Christmas Minute to Win It" games and compete for a prize! last year Chad one an automatic candy dispenser. this year was yet another win by a male--Neil Krone! he won a Lowe's gift card. we are pretty competitive when it comes to games. the best part of this type of game is that the kids can be involved also!
Brynlee is playing "Face the Gingerbread Man" (you have to use only your face muscles to move the cookie from your forehead to your mouth). My sister, Amy, and her son, Reuben, are playing "Snow-Caps." My sister enjoyed (maybe a little too much) throwing marshmallows at her son! He loved it though!

We continued through the holidays with family. It was such a great time celebrating being together and celebrating Jesus' birth.
