Christmas

We had more fun decorating cookies, and Braedyn got to open an early present. Then there was more Christmas singing. This kid loves his Jingle Bells song and all music in general (can you tell?)!!

 
 
 

Christmas Time

We've been baking lots of cookies and decorating them and taking them around to the neighbors. Braedyn has been getting some more sugar than normal... He's been enjoying Christmas this year and is eagerly anticipating Christmas morning. He's been learning lots of new Christmas songs as well. Here is a rendition of Jingle Bells on the Drums.

 
 
 

Friends

Braedyn's friend from church, Noah, came over for a morning to play and these two kids had sooo much fun together that we may need to keep them separated!

Water Bottle Rockets

We found some plans online for water bottle rockets, just some hose and a pump hooked up to a water bottle with a little air and water in makes for some excitement. This is Braedyn's new favorite toy. Why spend all kinds of money when you can have hours of entertainment for $3 at the hardware store! Braedyn wants to shoot rockets pretty much every day and wants to show them off to all his friends and anyone walking by the house as well.

Kate

Kate lives next door and has become a good friend of Braedyn's. They've had the opprotunity to play together quite a bit lately and I'm sure there will be more to come. They certainly have fun together.

 
 
 
 

Halloween

Friday before Haloween, the city of Carpintera had trick or treating on our main drive at all the shops. There were tons of kids out. Then on Haloween night we went over to some of Braedyn's schoolmates for a pizza party and trick or treating.

4 wheelin!

Curious George Live

While visiting MeMa and Papa in Iowa we checked out Curious George Live. Braedyn invited his buddy Connor along. The boys had a good time seeing curious George on stage and not on a page.

the girl next door

Braedyn received his first love letters from the girl next door. Complete with a phone number! He was instructed to head over and give the proper "thanks for the cool pictures, I really like them", which he gladly did. She was shy and.... a bit disappointed he did not draw her a picture. They are only three and five, but there interaction was cute even if Braedyn was clueless. Boys!

 
 
 

Bluff Buggies

Braedyn and his friend Matty have matching 4 wheeler buggies and have been going "4 wheelin" out on the bluff's trails at the beach by our house.

 
 
 

Buggy

The buggy is a hit with all little kids. Braedyn's friend Ely came over with his dad for dinner one evening and the boys had fun cruising the buggy around the back yard.
