Decorating the Christmas Tree..

Daddy and Brooklyn putting up decorations "up high, up high!" Check out that awesome hairdo!
Landon in his little retro football jammies- I almost wanted to hang him up, he's so gosh darn cute!
Brayden was a big help this year- he liked putting the decorations in bunches. The kids especially liked the ornaments that had their pictures in them. Each year, we pick an "Event of the Year" and select an ornament to symbolize that year- such as buying our first house, each kid, or a vacation. It is a lot of fun going through the box, and I can't wait for all the years ahead of us!

I can remember your mom telling us about that ornament tradition like when we were in Merry Miss. She brought a little mini tree with all the Bramwell family ornaments. I thought it was so cool and decided someday I would do that for my own tree. We take it a little further and everyone get and ornament of there own for the year in there stocking. Shelby and Ellie are getting Football player frames this year.

How fun! I noticed Landon's middle name, you stuck with Tanner - it is WAY cute. He is adorable - he is almost light enough to hang on the tree!:)

So glad Billy is home to help for awhile, especially with runny noses. I hope Landon stays healthy!

Mini-Marathon

Brayden's school does a "mini-marathon" each year.  During recess, some of the kids choose to run.  For each lap they do, they earn a punch on their cards.  Brayden ran 27.2 miles!!!!  He earned a cool medal and certificate. We were so proud of him. I forgot how long his hair was!  He decided last spring that he wanted to grow it out until school let out.

 ....you can't take the country out of the girl. My parents' have pretty much the coolest place to visit...well, besides the beach or Disneyland... so we always have fun going back home to the farm.  Grandma Marie Bramwell- 89 years old!  Double Rainbow! Sunset over the Snake River  The only reason he is wearing a helmet is because he had to for his scouting belt loop.  We had to fudge a little bit- it's his bike helmet.  Billy has learned a thing or two from me :)

Eight is Great

Brayden got to celebrate his birthday at the happiest place on earth...Chuck E. Cheese.  Yes, he really wanted a Chuck E. Cheese birthday party.  Not the kind where you show up and mom orders pizza and brings your presents in, but an actual Chuck E. Cheese Birthday Party.  You know, the one where they set the table for you and you get an awesome blow up crown and Chuck E. comes out an entertains you.  I blame all the children that previously have had birthday parties there when we've shown up. Brayden did design his birthday cake.  Apparently he wasn't impressed with the giant cupcake one I made last time that tipped over.  I like doing it this way much better- so much easier.   He got to invite a few friends.  We missed a few that were sick or out of town.  Bummer.  I guess that's what happens when you have a December birthday.  The boys that did come were so much fun and full of all that boy humor- loud and silly.   We opene...
