Oma and Opa Christmas

My parents came around the 20th to see us and give presents. Caden loves their motor-home and blesses it every night in his prayers (as well as Oma, Opa, Wally, and Sassy).


Oma reading to Caden. If you look closely, you'll see that they are reading the beloved cookie book. Caden made Oma read the whole book.

Caden and Evan's first present from Oma and Opa. Evan watches Caden to see how to work the ribbon.

Caden and Evan got some matching studdly leather -type bomber jackets with outfits.

As cute as the jackets were, both boys were really excited about the hangers because they quickly turned them into guns and spaceships.

What! Oma and Opa gave them garbage for Christmas!


Nope, just kidding. Caden got a cool new bike with a handle in the back for Evan to help push.
I know he doesn't look super excited, he just didn't want his picture taken.

Evan got a cool motor cycle-like push vehicle.
Of course, we had to go to the park to try them out.
We never did get a picture of Evan on his toy. He did ride it, but decided he could go faster (and keep up with Caden) without it. So Mom, being the non-photographer, got to carry it around.
Giddy-up Cowboy! Here's Opa with Caden and Brett with Evan. Sorry about the "behind-the- scenes-view", but that was the only picture with all of them I could get.

The 2nd ride was Oma with Caden and Evan with Mommy (Evan and Mommy, not pictured)

Evan and Daddy...ah, how cute. My Brett and baby Brett!
















Pre-Christmas


(Sung to the tune "Sisters") "Brothers...brothers, there were never such devoted brothers."
Caden helped Daddy put the lights on the Christmas tree. Sadly the lights plus a few new ornaments (thanks to Oma and Opa) were the only decorating we did for the tree this year.
It's blurry I know, but every blog entry has to have one of Evan's cheesy smiles. What you can't tell from the picture is that Caden is reading Evan my shortbread cookie recipe book. They both really love that book.
Caden with his Uncle Hayden Santa...yeah!
Evan with his Uncle Hayden Santa...bummer!
