A XMAS EVE TO REMEMBER FOREVER

Wow! What a night! Nona and Loupa came over for dinner and presents. We had chicken parm, tortellini, zuccini and garlic bread. YUM (apple pie for dessert). After dinner, Braxton opened his presents from Santa. Mommy made Brax a special Taggie blanket that he LOVES. And Nona made Brax a VERY SPECIAL stocking. She crossed stitched the entire thing and even hung special charms on it. Brax also got a toy keyboard, a ball popping thing, a walker/rider, some shoes, Elmo slippers, Hat and Gloves, some books and MORE. Then, just as we were cleaning up the wrapping paper, Mommy and Loupa saw a fire truck out front. MUCH TO OUR SURPRISE....Santa was riding on top of the fire truck visiting all of the neighborhood kiddies. We all ran outside to see him. It turns out that Loupa personally knew this particular Santa (voluteer fireman). He was so nice to get off the truck and stay for awhile. Braxton loved it. Brax played for a little bit and then went to sleep. Loupa read Brax some funny stories! Bruce Schmidt came to visit too and we watched a Christmas Story and Bad Santa. Now we're getting ready for tomorrow.
