The Magic of Christmas

Oh, the magic of Christmas in a little boy's eyes!  Below are pictures from many fun holiday activities:

Santa Train Ride in Baldwin City
December 7, 2013
1st Train Ride






Annual Christmas Visit to Crown Center

Mesmerized by the trains, especially Thomas, at Union Station


Decorating ginger bread houses with Grandma Blake and Uncle Steven

Our Peanuts characters made the move to the new house.

Things must have gotten a little crazy putting up the decorations this year though
because Brayden insisted on wearing his bike helmet!


Ginger bread event at The Kansas City Club


Annual Culotta party with mommy's Lockton friends

Santa scored big in Brayden's eyes with a gift of Mack and
Lightning McQueen from the "Cars" movie.

Enjoying the moose carousel at Bass Pro Shop

Bass Pro Shop's holiday activities were a huge hit with Brayden and our entire family.
We made several trips there as it is free and close to our house.
We will be visiting there for many Christmases to come.

1st Trip to Bramlage This Season
December 15, 2013

Brayden's purple crocs fit great for basketball season.
He talks about watching Willie play everyday!

It was a very chilly evening for our neighborhood's annual holiday hayride.
There were horses, Christmas lights, carolers and Santa - everything Brayden loves!

We are regulars at the public library.
Daddy had no idea Brayden could check out his books all by himself.
