Allan Family Christmas Party

On Sunday we had the annual Allan Family Christmas Party. It was at JT's Uncle John's house. We had a yummy dinner and then Santa Clause came. Braiden was nervous but excited to see him. He has never sat on Santa's lap before. When he went up to Santa, he stood there for just a minute and then sat on his lap. He was so brave! He then told him he wanted a Thomas Train and a dump truck. He then told Santa thank you and took his candy cane. I was so proud of him. All of the kids had fun with Santa. We then did the gift exchange game and read a little program about the first Christmas. It was really nice. It was fun to see everyone and enjoy the holiday spirit. Pictures will be posted later. Braid was trying to be a big helper!

Making Marshmallow POPCORN

I decided to make marshmallow popcorn to take to the people I work with for Christmas. Braiden was my big helper. We pulled out the popcorn popper and kernels. I don't think Braiden has seen popcorn popped like this before. As you can see, he was cheering the entire time. It was so fun to see him get so excited. He was really good at helping. We only ended up with half of a bowl of popcorn on the floor when we were done. (I did throw that away and did not use it, just for your information.) He really enjoyed eating it when it was done. We had a great afternoon!

My Train Engineer!

I know this is really late, but I thought I would post Braiden in his Halloween costume. He was a train engineer. He loves Thomas the Tank Engine and thinks every train is Thomas. We had a great Halloween. He had so much fun!

Not Enough Time!

I haven't posted anything since October. I feel bad and am going to try and be better in December! I was really sick in November and just haven't got everything back in order yet. I am working on it. A new post will be up soon! Happy Holidays!
