Oh Christmas Tree



We drove to the local Christmas tree lot and picked out what we believe to be our best tree yet. Bradyn wasn't too keen on the whole idea....until we got home! Then it was pure excitement that we were bringing one of those green things into our HOUSE!! We couldn't keep him out of the tree while Mike tried to secure it down. Once it was decorated it wasn't all that interesting to him anymore, probably because the lights kept going out. After several blown fuses and many extension cords, we FINALLY have the lights figured out...and now he is interested again. Last night the three of us climbed under the tree and looked up to see all the lights. Now it is a constant struggle trying to keep him out of the tree. It doesn't help that the cat has taken up post under there! Oh Christmas Tree!!

Ryan is in the tree all the time as well. He takes the ornaments off and leaves them all over the house. Silly monkey. Ah, the joy of children...isn't it wonderful?

Mike, Heidi, and Bradyn,
Thank you so much for the updates and the pictures of our Grandson. We feel more connected when we get these, almost like we are not so far away. He gets more adorable, everytime we see a photo. I truly believe that God had only one plan in mind when Brady was born, and that was to have him be a part of your life, and for you to be in his life. You are all truly blessed, as well as us. Can't wait to see you at Christmas. I know that "Bacca" is especially anxious to meet his new Grandson. Love you all.
Mom and Dad (Dave and Jane)

I, too, prefer a real tree. Love the smell and look of the real ones.
This is going to be a wonderful x-mas for the three of you. Enjoy it all!
