Christmas With the Bradfords

Our first Christmas at home in North Hills! It was different, but very nice. We tried, unsuccessfully to take a family picture for a Christmas card. This was our best attempt. I had just finished being mad at everyone for being uncooperative. The bottom portion of the tree was redecorated daily thanks to Grayson's excellent design sense, aka- destruction abilities.
Partway through opening gifts, Carissa informed that, "What I really want more than anything is clothes!" Of course, that didn't hold true when she saw that High School musical 2 CD! Thanks Grandma!


Derek was loving his $1.50 Halloween clearance outfit. There are several more poses available. This outfit stayed on ALL DAY. He even peed in it but did not care.
The big fun gifts were the bikes. We love Carissa's cool beach cruiser and, thankfully, so does she. For some reason Derek is throwing gang signs. Or maybe he's throwing webs on his Spiderman bike.


What Christmas would be complete without a couple of tracks for the boys??
It was Christmas all over again when Gramma and Grampa came to town. Derek and Carissa especially enjoyed sleeping out in the trailer, and Lee and I especially enjoyed taking an overnighter to Santa Barabara sans the kids, courtesy of Gammy and Gampy!

Isn't Susie's tree pretty? There were homemade dough ornaments and sprigs of berries on it. We enjoyed a lovely Sunday dinner before Mom and Dad left for P-Ville. Hey- didn't Tyler do that same pose on Family Feud??

Cute pics Sara! I can't wait to see Carissa's beach cruiser. I really liked that Carissa was using an overturned bucket for a seat and Derek's was a plastic filing box at Susie's house!
