celebrating christmas.

Celebrating Christmas with the Brandenburg family involves a couple of events spread out beginning the 23rd through the evening of the 25th. Here are some pictures from those events...

These were from the dinner at Mark's Aunt Teresa & Uncle Denny's House....

Aunt Teresa & her grandson Conner

Our big boy playing ball.

Lisa & Allie

Matthan & Conner
(all the little guys love playing with Conner-he's very good with the little ones!)

You wouldn't think from this picture that Matthan would be the most difficult to get to cooperate in the group picture of all the great-grandkids....here they are from last year....

This time next year we'll have at LEAST three more little ones to squeeze onto the couch!

Christmas Day Events....

Matthan walking around the house with his wrapping paper tail! Silly boy!

We went to Ruth's for lunch...

Sweet Atley

Dinner at Crystal & Danny's...

Matthan playing with his cousin's big truck

Matthan with his great-granddaddy "Bill"

Here Matthan is demonstrating that he wants Bill to open his mouth as he feeds him the book...

Looks like it worked! He enjoyed playing with Bill.

Poor Daisy was tired after having Matthan walking all around the house saying "daisy" as he was searching for her- eventually she went and hid on the landing on the steps so Matthan couldn't get her. Sweet dog.

Matthan & his great-grandmother "Ma".

We had a great time celebrating Christmas and spending time with family.
We were all exhausted after all the day's events. Great memories were made.
Hope you had a Merry Christmas.
