Loving the Holidays

We have been loving the Holidays and the memories we are making:). Braxton and I made our first gingerbread house together. I should have read the directions though because apparently when you first put the house together you should 15 minutes before you decorate it..Now I know why. The roof was slipping off until finally at the end I got it to stick. Anyways Braxton had a blast and I was really surprised that he didn't try to eat the candy. He was so happy just to decorate. It was so much fun. I had the Christmas music going and it was a great memory. One that I hope to make a tradition.

We have also been outside trying to build a snowman, but the snow just wasn't working in our favor so we just stuck with a "Baby" snowman. Still made Braxton happy and it was a LOT easier. We love playing in the snow together and it looks like we will have plenty to work with. We have done so much fun things this winter season from putting our tree up, making hot coco, wrapping presents, and even dancing to Christmas music. Braxton is at just an awesome age and we have so much fun together. I know most people say terrible 3s, but man I love it. Don't get me wrong Braxton can be bad, but most of the time he is always making me smile. For example, Braxton is potty trained, but every once he waits to long and has an accident. Whenever this happens he always says REPEATEDLY, but Mommy it's only a little bit. For some reason my child thinks that if he goes in his pants he will turn into a baby and he doesn't want that at all. It is just so funny how he tells me over and over again that its just a little and hes a big boy.

Here is another great conversation my son had with his father the other night. Before Conrad leaves for the week I always ask him to go and have a conversation with Braxton about it. That way when he is gone Braxton understands why Daddy is away, but also that he loves him. I listened to the conversation Sunday night and I heard Conrad telling Braxton that while he is gone, Braxton is the man of the house and he has to take care of Mommy and be good. Braxton replied that he was going to take me to the doctor then. Conrad asked why and Braxton said to get rid of her huge zit. I just started cracking up. I cannot believe the things that kid comes up with.

This is seriously every day. He says something like this where you honestly just cannot stop laughing. Kids just say whatever they feel. It is hilarious.

Tonight Braxton and I are thinking about going to see some Christmas lights if the weather isn't bad. I know Braxton will love it so wish us luck.

Hope everyone is enjoying this December..Christmas is less than 3 weeks away...its flying by!:)
