We spent Christmas just the 3 of us again this year- it was a nice, quiet, relaxing holiday. None of us ever even made it out of our PJs today!! Our holiday celebration kicked off last night with Brayden's debut in the performing arts- playing the lamb in the Christmas pageant during the early mass at our church. We came home and had lasagna and italian salad (at Brayden's request), watched Christmas movies, and opened a few gifts.
Today began bright- or make that still dark, and early!! It was about 6:30 a.m. when we felt a little person crawl into bed, and heard a little voice say "Momma, I don't think Santa came". He had actually followed directions and come right to our room, rather than looking under the tree!! I assured him that Santa had come. He was very excited to find that he had gotten everything on his list- and more, this year. After presents, Jason continued our family tradition of HIM making french toast and sausage. The rest of the day was spent playing with new toys... and watching both Ghostbusters movies (1 & 2) twice each.
Thanks to Daddy's lapse in judgement on what he allowed Brayden to watch, Brayden is very into Ghostbusters, and toys from the movie were the #1 order on his list. Thank goodness for Santa knowing about eBay since none of the toys have been made in two decades. Granted, I can assure you that the Big Guy spent a premium to locate 20 year old, used toys! But I guess that it is all about seeing the smile on a child's face come Christmas morning- which we definitely got to see lots of today. Brayden didn't take off his Ghostbuster's coveralls all day, he even slept in them. (Pictures of the day can be viewed by following our family photo album link on the right, or the link listed in the post before this one.)
We hope that everyone else had as wonderful of a Christmas as we did. We certainly miss seeing family and friends, but we also enjoy our own little celebration at home.

Glad you had a wonderful Christmas. "Ghostbusters" is a favorite film in our house, too. Have a great 2007!
