Holiday In The Park.....

On the Saturday after Christmas we headed out to Holiday in the Park at Six Flags with my mom and dad. We took Braden for his first theme park experience!! :) While it was chilly out, it was a great time with lots of laughs, holiday spirit, and funnel cakes! HA!

Braden was mighty cozy up in there.. :) Layers, layers, layers...

Carousel fun....Let the good times roll!!!

Braden's First Christmas!!!

Christmas 2009...what fun!! :) We had a great time celebrating Braden's first Christmas this year!! WHOOP!!!

We celebrated up in Dallas/Fort Worth with both of our families and I think our house honestly looks like Toys R Us after Christmas this year!! LOL!! :) It really is ridiculously insane how many toys and presents Braden got this year. He is set for a LONG, LONG time!! :) He is spoiled rotten by his grandparents and aunts/uncles...that is for sure!! :)

We headed up to Dallas on Wednesday the 23rd and kicked off the fun then. We even got an amazing snowfall on Christmas Eve...so pretty!! :) It looked like a blizzard at some points during that day! HA! :)

We had our Christmas brunch and presents with Chris's dad on Christmas Eve morning.

The kiddos and their dad... :)
