Braden's First Christmas

We really enjoyed Christmas this year as a family of 3! I thought that Braden wouldn't really care about Christmas this year, but he loved it! He got the hang of opening presents quickly and loved doing it. We celebrated with Kevin's family early, on December 10th, because we were heading to Arizona for Christmas. I didn't get any of those photos up here (because Blogger was only letting me upload one photo at a time and it was taking FOREVER), so I'll have to get them up soon.

We celebrated Christmas at our house on the night of the 23rd before heading to AZ on the 24th.

Here is Kevin helping Braden open his stocking. We kept him up late so yes, he looks very tired :)

We flew to AZ on the 24th and Braden did great on the flights. He's such a good flyer! We went to church with my family for Christmas Eve, but poor Kevin spent much of the service outside as Braden decided he wasn't going to be quiet :)

Mommy and Braden opening his stocking on Christmas morning.
Helping Uncle Matt open his gift.
His favorite thing to do was eat the wrapping paper.
Inspecting his new toy from Grandma and Grandpa Davis.
Playing with his toy from Great Grandma Warner
Meeting Charlotte for the first time! Little do they know, they are betrothed!
Playing with Grandpa and the red hat. Braden LOVED the red hat!
Playing with the cool new hippo toy! It shoots the balls everywhere, and he thinks it's pretty cool.
The weather was so nice in Arizona we decided to take Braden to the Phoenix Zoo for the first time. He loved riding around in the stroller and looking at all the animals.
In fact, he had so much fun he just couldn't handle it anymore :)
Braden's favorite toy is Sofie the giraffe. He got to see real life Sofie's at the zoo!
He was definitely interested.


We had a great time in AZ despite the fact that Braden didn't sleep at all during the night. He for sure prefers to sleep in his own bed. Can say I blame him!
