Christmas is gone faster than I could blink an eye. We spent a lot of time shopping, wrapping, cooking, and otherwise preparing and now it is gone like a fart in the wind.
Braden is still not really old enough to understand the presents concept. He usually waits for them to be opened and then plays with the toys. He definitely likes the toys.
Now we move on to the chore of finding somewhere to put all of his new stuff. Arica and I are definitely going to have a toy purging party in the new year. The rattles and other such newborn trinkets have to find their way into a storage bin. Then that storage bin will have to find a way out of our house.
The truth is we might need to have a storage bin purging party. The house is just becoming a little too small for all of our stuff. Anyway we had a great Christmas spending time together as a family. It was fun to see Braden enjoy all his new toys. Of course Arica likes to dress him up in his new clothes too. With his Christmas haul Braden will continue to be a sharp dressed man.
With that I will leave you with a shot of Braden covered in the remnants of a very good Christmas. I hope all of you had a great Christmas as well.

I love that picture. It sums Christmas up so perfectly!
Very cute! Glad you had a great Christmas!
That is an awesome picture! I hope you all had a great time and a wonderful New Year ahead of you.
Looks like you have your Christmas card photo for next year!
I try to start the new year with some sort of house purging. It might be clothes or books or old papers. Last year it was boxes of stuff that I had not unpacked after 5 years of living here. This year it will be clothes. Truth be known, I have been working on a "purging blog" of my own, but I hesitate to push that publish button because it is such a committment for me.
Happy New Year!
