Bye, Grammy.

Well, both of Braden's grandmothers left the same week! He was sad for Grammy to leave and is missing all the attention! It was a huge blessing to have Carla here to watch Braden and we're looking forward to her coming back in a few weeks!

We went to Bass Pro Shop one night this week to try and see Santa. The line was too long, but Braden still loves that place. Especially now with all the fun Christmas stuff!


Braden learned about his Maine heritage in getting a shooting lesson from Grammy and Daddy.


As close as he got to Santa... the reindeer were way cooler and he liked those!

This is what Daddy told him to ask Santa for...

and he will be glad to oblige!

Braden and Daddy like to watch airplanes on the computer. It really is amazing how much Braden likes them. We have a few models that were his Papa Ernie's and he loves to play with them. He'll sit still for 30 minutes and check each one out over and over... and believe me he doesn't sit for long times for just anything!!

We got this awesome box of Sprinkles cupcakes delivered to our house from one of the families that Anthony flies. Yummmmmmmmmm.

Anthony had a trip come up today to Columbus, Ohio. So, I had to come home early from work to watch Braden (darn). Even more of a darn was that we didn't get to go along. My Mom said she would gladly come pick us up! We had a great afternoon anyway. I had lunch scheduled with a friend so Braden got to come along for that. Then we went to the Zoo because he hadn't been for a few weeks. It was a beautiful afternoon and I'm so glad we were able to get out and enjoy it (I have to say that we were overdressed in our long sleeves!).


Braden was very excited to see the giraffes again... I think he had missed them.

This was hilarious... Braden thought the lady was taking a picture of him so he stopped and posed!!

He found a perfect little rock seat. He wore the Christmas shirt my Mom made him!

Then he found another perfect seat in a tree house!

The Bastian's were at the Zoo at the same time as us, so Braden got a chance to play with the boys. He wanted Cole to help him out of the tree house.

Braden likes frogs and anytime he sees one he pretends to eat a bug with his tongue. He had fun when he found this frog. He knows pretty much every body part down to his elbows and eyebrows!! He likes to use his washcloth to wash each one when I ask him to in his bath. I had to cut this video short since Braden was running at top speed down the hill!
