Brody's 2nd Christmas

I still can't believe Brody just had his 2nd Christmas! Which means in less than 2 weeks he'll have his 2nd birthday!! Where does the time go?

Christmas morning started off with me up VERY early waiting for all of the festivities to begin, while everyone else was sleeping...including Brody. Finally Brody woke up and we could get the show on the road!

Brody was so funny coming out and seeing what Santa had left him. I have video but its on the big camera and I have NO idea how to get that to the computer. But I did take pictures.

Before Brody ...
He immediately grabs a book!

But not far behind, a ball.

I love his Fridge Phonics set Santa brought him!!!
More books!
Brody loves to SIT on his bouncing spinning turtle. He hasn't quite figured out the bouncing part. Every now and then he wants to rock back and forth on it...hence the reason I bought his birthday present..hmm...bet you can guess what it is...

Playing with his tractor set...
Yes...that's a potty in the background. We started potty training the Saturday after Christmas and its going great! More on that later!
My future quarterback...
After Brody...
After seeing what Santa brought Brody, we went over to my parents house to do Christmas. Santa stopped by there too! And look what he brought Brody...


This was Brody's stack of presents from my parents and my grandparents...slightly spoiled wouldn't you say?





After opening presents we had a HUGE lunch of beef tenderloin (which made about 12 filets) YUMMY!!!, twice baked potatoes, green beans, and a salad. Brody devoured the green beans while Mommy took care of the steak. = )
After stuffing our faces we took Brody home for a quick much needed nap. About an hour later, we were up and headed to Ken's parents house for Christmas. We opened presents there and then had another HUGE dinner. Ham, roast beef, twice baked potatoes, homemade mac and cheese (made by my lovely husband), green beans, and those yummy little rolls that come in the round pan. Full once again!!!
I have pictures on another memory card which I have to find where I put it.
My parents bought me a new camera and I switched cards when working on Brody's birthday invitations. I can not wait to show yall those!!! But I'm going to wait until I mail them out. So stinkin' cute!!! Here's a hint..."Sunny days..."
Hope everyone had a GREAT Christmas with family and loved ones. Ken, Brody and I are so extremely blessed to be surrounded by so many people who love us!!!

We got that turtle for Christmas, but I haven't been brave enough to take it out of the box!

Reece got the bouncing turtle too! It's so stinking hard for him to bounce on though. He likes sitting on it and pressing the buttons though!
