Caleb, Brandt and I went to Caleb's Aunt Shannon's house in Midwest City to spend Thanksgiving with his side of the family. It was really nice seeing everyone that we had not seen in a while. Brandt loved getting to play with all of his cousins. The following Sunday we had Thanksgiving dinner with my aunt, uncle and cousins at my parent's house and I ate way too much as usual!! We didnt get up early this year to go black Friday shopping like we did last year but we did go to Sears and got a great deal on a front loading washer and dryer. Im so excited to use it but we are waiting until we get our new house built so it's in the shop for now. 't was very bittersweet this year though since this was the first holiday without Lynda here. It was so weird not having her there. It still doesn't feel real. We went and visited her gravesite a couple of days before Christmas so we could see her foot stone and put flowers on her grave.
Caleb actually was home for Christmas which I was so happy because for a while there we didn't know if he would be or not. He got to stay two weeks so that was even better. He has been working in North Dakota and sometimes he said it gets like 20 below! I don't know how he does it, I hate cold weather! For Christmas we did our family Santa on Christmas Eve morning because we couldn't wait to give Brandt his present. We got him a Ford Raptor Powerwheels. Its the cutest thing ever when he drives it around the yard. He acts like he's been doing it for years. Then Christmas eve night we went over to my parents house and Dustin and Jenn, my aunt, uncle and cousins were there too so that was a lot of fun. Then Christmas morning we woke up and had Santa at my parents house like usual. Brandt got a Big Buzz which was his favorite present of all. He had been asking for it the whole year. He also got a leap pad from my parents. We had a wonderful Christmas--it just was over with way too fast!! Its kind of depressing how fast it goes. Caleb won't be here for NYE so thats kind of a bummer but its alright. I'll just ring in the new year with my sweet little boy! Here's to a great 2012!!
