Merry Christmas Everyone

Well, its Brent again. I am going to give this another shot because I want to post our Christmas pictures but Stephanie has to work today. So since I have the day off, I figured I would give it a go.

So before I get to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, I need to talk about what happened Monday night. The Bears beat the Packers to keep their playoff hopes alive. They blocked a fieldgoal to send it into overtime and eventually win. Well, as great as that was, finding out that Mary is a Bears fan was even better. Naturally when the Bears scored to tie the game and when they blocked the fieldgoal to send it to overtime, I went crazy jumping, screaming, and clapping. Mary started cheering with me and clapping at the TV. It was great. She is already a true Bears fan. Unfortunately we didn't get a good video of it but trust me it happened.

So anyways, I just had to mention that but now onto Christmas Eve. I had to work most of the day but we got to go over to Uncle Richard's house for dinner that night. Prime Rib and Turkey! It was great. We also got a special visit from Santa. He came and had all the kids, and adults, sit on his lap as he handed out presents for everyone.

Here is Santa himself.


Mary was a little scared at first.


And like I said, even the adults had to sit on his lap.


As you can tell Mary certainly enjoyed the candy cane that was taped on her present. She also loves pushing that little car all over the living room.



This picture is of Aunt Julie reading a Christmas book that Nate and Amber bought for her to read to everyone on Christmas Eve. What you can't see is when Julie reads about Joseph and MARY, our little Mary clapped and laughed. She just loved hearing her name.



So now onto Christmas Day. Here are the presents Santa left for Mary.


Mary really enjoyed ripping the wrapping paper off of her presents.


Here are a few pics of Mary enjoying her presents.



This is a video of Mary dancing to the noises the Muno Guitar makes.



Here is a picture I took today with all of Mary's presents. I hope I didn't forget any.


So, on Christmas afternoon we went over to Chris and Valerie's for a Christmas Dinner. Thanks again guys for having us over. Everything was great. But while we were there Mary saw cousin Brenden playing a harmonica. So she wanted to do it to. The only thing is, she didn't know how to. So she put it in her mouth and made the noises herself. Here is the video.



So I think thats it for now. And again I'm sure Steph will be on later and correct any mistakes I probably made.
