Breakfast With Santa Claus

We went to the breakfast with Santa Claus this morning at Stu's fire house. Brandon was so excited to see Santa and sat right on his lap. Wesley was terrified of Santa.

First Night of Hanukkah

Last night was the first night of Hanukkah. Brandon was so excited to light the candles on the menorah and get his first present. He saw all of his presents in a pile and said he wanted the big present for the first night. He opened it and was so excited to see that it was the Doc McStuffins toy that he wanted. He watches Doc McStuffins on Disney Jr. and just loves it. He played with his new toy for awhile and then brought it with him to Grandma Gail and Papa Jim's house. There he got lite bright for a present which he loved. Wesley isn't too sure of what to think about getting presents. He got a stuffed Mickey Mouse toy at our house and a Mickey Mouse pillow pet from Grandma Gail and Papa Jim. Today he was giving both hugs but yesterday he didn't seem to want anything to do with either of his new toys.

Birthday Party Weekend

Last weekend Brandon had two birthday parties that he went to. On Saturday he had his friend Logan's birthday party. It was at the club house where Logan lives and the fun bus came. Brandon had so much fun on the fun bus.

On Sunday we went to Lily and Savannah's party. It was at their house. All of Brandon's preemie friends were there. He had so much fun playing with them. The kids decorated cookies to look like Santa which Brandon loved doing.

Trophy Pizza Party

Brandon's soccer team had a pizza party tonight. After they ate pizza, cupcakes, and cookies they got their trophies. Brandon was so excited about his trophy. It was a nice pizza party and nice seeing all of the players and Coach Joe one last time. The last two soccer games of the season never happened because of the hurricane so the season ended with no closure.

Thanksgiving

We had Thanksgiving at our house again this year. There were 16 people there- me, Stu, Brandon, and Wesley, my parents, Stu's aunt Amy, Stu's parents, Stu's brother, sister in law, and nephews, and our friends, John, Rachel, and their daughter Tori. We had a nice Thanksgiving and it was nice having family and friends with us to celebrate.

Pre-K Pow Wow

Brandon's preschool (Ivy Hedge) had a pre-k pow wow show today that Brandon was in. He did such a great job and sang all of the songs that he has learned. I think he was the loudest one singing and was so into it. He had a smile on his face the whole time. The show lasted a half hour and was really cute.
