Visiting Auntie Boo

On Sunday morning we woke up early and headed to Tennessee for Christmas. On our way we stopped to visit with Auntie Boo for two nights. We had a wonderful visit and on Tuesday left to head on to spend Christmas with the Dore's at Auntie Brie's (pictures from the trip will be posted soon)
Beautiful scene driving in to Tennessee

Snoozing to pass the time

While visiting we were able to meet baby Brennan. The boys watching cartoons :0)

Someone was a little jealous and decided to try and fit in the baby's seat

Sleeping in Auntie Boo's arms... The two of them have missed that time together :-)

Sweater Party

On Saturday night we had a tacky Christmas sweater party at our house with friends and neighbors. It was a great time, but I didn't take many pictures.

The three of us in our Christmas sweaters and Dave as a present :-)

The Class Clown

At school Braiden is now referred to as the class clown. Good news is he's not causing trouble, he just likes to do things to get the other kids laughing. On Friday, Dave and I went to his school Christmas party and he was a hoot. He had his buddy's cracking up :-)
Sorry the pictures are blurry, but the boys were wild and not at all holding still!

Trip to Pennsylvania

On December 9th Braiden and I headed to PA to celebrate a few special birthday's and a family Christmas party. We made surprise visits to see Aunt Carol for her birthday and Baba! We had a wonderful trip visiting with family.
Here's Braiden surprising Aunt Carol

While in PA Braiden and I took a drive to Philly to meet Baby Richie. What a wonderful visit. We're so glad we got to see the Davoli's and hope to see them in the spring at our house :-)

Our Little Soccer Player

A couple weeks ago we watched our neighbor's kids for a few days and went to their soccer game. As you can see, as soon as Braiden's old enough we'll have him signed up for soccer. He's actually a good kicker :-)
