After stalling as long as we could :) we finally set up Bryson's new drum set... thanks Uncle Jordan. It seems as though we have a natural on our hands... a very LOUD natural!

Snow Day

We had a snow day!! With 6-12 inches predicted for the day, I took off work. Nate made it as far as the highway and turned around and came home as well. After 'working' at home all day, Bryson finally convinced Nate to go outside with him. Once out in the snow Bryson proclaimed "Look Daddy, xue!" (Chinese for snow.) Apparently someone has been paying attention to his favorite show, Ni Hao Kai-lan.

Bryce helped Nate clean off the rest of the driveway and attempted to make snow angels. When he came in his little face was SO red! I had to take a picture of him sitting on the vent warming up and thawing out!

Visiting with Aubrey

Bryson was SO excited to see Aubrey today! Stephanie and Aubrey came to visit along with my teacher friends from school. The two kiddos had a GREAT time!

Wurkin'

Bryson was VERY excited by his present from Uncle Matthew, Aunt Susan and cousin Owen.... his very own set of Black and Decker tools, which he of course made me open right away so he could get to "wurk". He also showed off his super cool PUMA warm-up from Uncle Josh and Auntie Anna!

Nana, Papa and Uncle Benno

Bryson was very excited to see his Nana, Papa and Uncle Benno the day after Christmas. Not surprisingly he took to Uncle Benno super fast, immediately asking if he wanted to play and sharing pretzels! We had a great visit and look forward to the next time!

Christmas Eve

We had a wonderful time at my parents for Christmas Eve. Bryson gave us a glimpse of what was to come on Christmas day by wanting to open EVERYONE's presents, not just his! He also enjoyed spending time with Auntie Lynda!

Nate's Birthday

Nate and our friend Johnny have birthdays that are a day apart, so being the great wives that we are, Heather (John's wife) and I decided to throw a party for the two boys! It was a BLAST, to say the very least! Bryson joined us for the first half and had a great time playing with everyone!

Getting ready for Christmas

Decorating the tree has been Bryson's favorite thing to do this year as we get ready for Christmas. It was very funny to see ONE branch of the whole Christmas tree decorated! I left it like that for a week because it made me smile! Check out ou lights outside! I'm so proud! Nate did a great job... and Justin too! ;)

Celebrating at Sandbox

Bryson's school invited us to come for cookies and a craft. The BIG surprise was that Santa came as well! This was Bryson's first experience meeting Santa. He was acting like a huge ham the whole time we were singing but as soon as Santa came in he clammed up a bit. Thankfully, Santa was giving out suckers, which was the ONLY reason Bryce got anywhere near him. Didn't really sit still long enough for a great picture, but you get the idea! Below is a picture of Bryson and his buddy Brady and Brady's sister.

Happy Turkey Day!!

Bryson was hamming it up after we got back from a lovely Thanksgiving dinner at Grandma and Papa's. I wanted a cute picture of his outfit and this is what I got instead! :)
