Christmas!

Well the Christmas extravaganza is still continuing as I am blogging from Ohio. It started on Christmas Eve when we headed to church for the service. There wasn't a nursery so Brayden went in the service with us. He did pretty well with the music and lasted about 45 minutes and then we left because it wasn't worth fighting him. We then headed to my mom's house for her side of Christmas. It was my aunt uncle and cousin from Florida (Carole Steve and Evin), then my aunt and uncle and cousins (Bo Barbara, Whitney, Brett, Ryleigh, Bryn), and my grandparents. This year we decided to only give gifts to the kids, and it was nice to not have it all about the presents. It was nice to visit with the family, and play with the babies. Our family has grown so much. It was originally the sisters and myself, and Whitney and Brett. And now there is 5 year old Evin, 2 year old Ryleigh, 1 year old Bryn, and 6 month old Brayden! So much fun.
Christmas morning Drew Brayden and I were at home, and opened our stockings. We then at cinamon rolls. We headed to my mom and dads around lunch time, and opened more presents. Then Christmas night we headed to my aunt and uncle (Keith and Tammy's house) for my dad's side. We had soups and exchanged presents. This side is growing as well with some of the nine cousins marrying and having babies!
Friday after Drew got off work we headed up to Ohio to celebrate with his family. When we got here we opened stockings, put the baby to bed and opened more presents. Then yesterday we visited with friends here, and had a make your own pizza night and then more presents! Brayden cleaned up! He got lots of books, a baseball rocking chair!, a baby laptop, lots of clothes, and more neat stuff.
We are going to be here a few more days to visit. Brayden did ok through all the visits. He was recovering from his ear infection so he was a little upset with that. He has also started with the stranger anxiety, and when anyone would take him he would start screaming. He really only wanted mommy and daddy. This made me feel bad, but not much we could do. He was really clingy, and very overwhelmed with all the people. He liked opening presents, and has napped well since being in Ohio. We are still waiting on the night time sleep to come back!
We will be heading home soon!
