After waiting patiently (sorta) all month, and Brandt only finding and opening a couple presents, Santa finally made his stop at our house. What an exciting morning it was!
Before the fun got started...Brandt woke up before my parents got there, so we had blocked off that part of the living room so he wouldn't see everything on his way to our room to wake us up. We kept him busy playing in our room til mamaw and bampa came.
Seeing everything waiting for him for the first time wearing his new Christmas jammies from mamaw Ellen and bampa Lloyd.
The biggest and most exciting "Santa present", which Brandt ran to first of course.
Since we live the closest, my parents and Curtis come to watch us open presents.
Brandt was excited to see his new rope (one of the only things he asked for) to go along with his roping steer.
Couldnt' wait to try it out. That's a pretty serious cowboy face!
Got it!!
Close-up shot of his new cowboy hat (the other thing he asked for since his has been too small for months but has still insisted on wearing it).
Trying to figure out how to get his loop back. I loved that this one thing could have kept him entertained half the day and he didn't even care that he still had more stuff to open. Wish we could all be so easily satisfied.
He was so excited about every new thing he opened and made sure to check it out good and play with it before moving on to the next present.
Bampa's job was to try to open all of the very child and adult proof toys.
Brandt helped decorate the tree this year, and he had so much fun doing it. Every couple days he would move a few of the decorations around, but he was so careful with them and didn't break one of them. Of course, I forgot to take pictures, so this will have to do. He gets an ornament from us every year and was excited to put it on the tree after he opened it.
We decided to stay home for Christmas day this year since we had things scheduled with both of our families before and after Christmas. Brandt loved to be able to take time to play with all of his new stuff.
We gave him a set of bucking bulls with shutes and rodeo clowns. This bull was bucking extra high.
What a cutie!! He made Christmas so much fun this year and helped me remember what the important things in life really are at this time of year.
