Welcome to the world Baby Aubrie

This is Baby Aubrie still in Katie's belly 2 days before she was born. We went over to visit Katie, Dustin and Connor to see them all one more time before baby was born. It was nice to get to talk and hang out and of course Connor and Bradley had a great time together as always - they really do play so well together, it's so cute :)Then after a planned c-section that went great, here is brand-spankin' new Baby Aubrie :) She is just adorable and really resembles her older brother (who by the way is the biggest sweetheart and loves his baby sister to death). We're so happy she's here and everyone's healthy and I can't wait to see if we have a little baby boy or girl for her to play with soon :)

Raindeer and Santa

Our friends Grady, JK, and Saunder told us about this opportunity to go see a couple of raindeer and Santa and we were there! The raindeer were really cute and the people were so nice.This was Mr B's second time seeing a Santa this year. Last year he was perfectly fine, not bothered at all. We went to my work appreciation night and saw Santa there and Bradley was very weary of him. He did not want to get close to him, especially not sit on his lap! We finally ended up getting a photo of him standing next to him - with Kevin in the picture, very close behind.
This Santa was no different - he was NOT happy. He did not understand why we would just go up to a stranger and hand him off :) We figured we'd let him see Saunder sit with Santa first so that maybe he would see that Santa was a good guy - but that did not work. Santa and Mrs Claus were very patient with us, we gave up pretty quickly but they kept trying to figure out ways to get a picture, we tried lots of high fives to warm Bradley up to him - didn't work. So finally we ended up just taking a picture with him in my arms and Santa just popped up behind us and Bradley never knew he was so close :)

Second Nap

Even though Bradley just got up from his nap, he decided to try to join Angel for hers :) She is so tolerant of him - even when she's sleeping and he just comes and plops down on her... sweet kitty :) and sweet sweet boy :)

Christmas Tree Shopping

We went to good 'ol King Soopers for our Christmas Trees again this year - I'm not ashamed to admit it - they have REALLY good trees. We have gotten our tree there almost every year and I don't think I've ever been dissapointed, and this year was no exception. We met Tammy, Craig, and Mommy there and all picked out nice trees even though the majority of them were frozen shut and we couldn't see them :) You'll see the finished product in upcoming pictures :)

New Construction Hat

If you put a tool box on your head - it would be considered a construction hat... right?

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was great. On Thanksgiving Day we went to Connie and William's house and had a wonderful meal and a great time together. Of couse I forgot to whip out my camera so you'll just have to take my word for it :) I felt bad for Bradley because he wanted so bad to be running around with all the big kids, doing what they were doing, and he just couldn't because he's too little. He sure is going to love having a little brother or sister to play with soon :) I'm so glad they're going to be close in age so they can play together.

Then a couple days later Mindy and Scott welcomed everyone into their home for another Thanksgiving :) Once again - great food and great company. Scott and Mindy have a little baseball net set up in the basement for practicing hitting, so we all went downstairs and watching Katie and Drew hit some balls - and of course Bradley thought that was the coolest thing and wanted to try since he LOVES baseball. Seriously - he is AMAZING! I can't believe how good he is at swinging that huge bat (almost bigger than his whole body) and hitting those balls. He was great! He hit SO many! Have you ever heard of a Professional Baseball Player coming straight out of Elementary School? Bradley might be the first one :) He just loves it SO much, he could swing that bat all day long if we let him. And I love how sometimes when he misses he says "ohhh" in an "oh darnit" tone :)

And then when we finally drug him away from the bat, he wanted to play catch :)

We all had a really good time with family - so much to be thankful for!!

Nov Pictures

Why do I always feel like I'm catching up? And somehow it's not just on here, it's everywhere! Oh well... here are some of my favorite pictures from November:

Having a cold lunch at the park - explaining how the plane fly's in the sky, and pretending to be a lion in the grass.

Hanging out with Daddy - playing Wii and napping together.

Showing off his new favorite Mickey Hat.

And just being plain cute :)
