Bear with me...

I've been debating if I should post stuff that happened months ago (because I'm so behind) or if I should jump to the present - but there are just so many cute pictures that I don't want to skip over, and I kind of use this as an online diary, so I want to document as much as possible... So bear with me while I publish posts about Christmas in March :) Thanks!

Smart little boy

Bradley loves Kevin's new touch phone, and it took me longer to figure it out than it took Bradley! He is so smart, he watches you do one thing, then takes it and knows exactly what to do, exactly how to get into the application he wants (like animal sounds or drawing), he knows how to go back to the previous screen if he wants to do something new, and of course he knows how to call people :) He is so gentle with it and is very good about getting into the programs that he wants and not just messing around with it. One drawback is sometimes he'll put it on silent or airplane mode and I won't be able to get ahold of Kevin the whole time I'm at work and Kevin has no idea that he's not getting calls :)

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?
