This Christmas the festivities started of C-Eve with a trip to the zoo with the Penton's and Aunt Kelcie. It was probably the least busy I have seen the zoo ever, so nice. Braden had recently been there with his class so he was pumped to be back. This was a first for Brenner and really the first trip there Berk remembered.
We saw everything and even hit the petting zoo and Little People play area. By the time we were done Berk was so freaked out by the pigeons- it was hilarious. He wanted them all in cages. And of course we didn't see giraffes, zebras and lions, we saw Melmans, Alexs, and Martys.
Then that night we went to the Solomon party. We ate, did the nativity and talent show. The big boys were in a bell choir thing and Brenner's talent was looking cute.
After putting out both reindeer food, anti-Grinch dust and of course cookies and milk for the Big Guy the boys went to bed.

The aftermath- my favorite picture of the day...
Berk got a new bike, a Handy Manny work set, a Webkinz jr, a LeapFrog jr and a crud load of other fun stuff.
Braden got a wake board (he's thrilled), a video camera, a bunch of games and books and a Zumbuddy for his Webkinz.
Brenner got this awesome play mat, and just about everything else Baby Einstein makes, I swear...I was thrilled to get some new clothes, boots and a heart rate watch thing and Rusty got new shoes, and quad riding pants- and other stuff I don't remember because he put it away too fast.
That night we had my family over for dinner and it was fun. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

Wow, those pictures make me tired! Actually I think it is the whole month of December that wipes me out! Glad you had a great Christmas. You guys look great. Love the card!

I'm horrible - we open our presents one at a time, taking turns from youngest to oldest (not the horrible part), and I pretty much follow behind them with the garbage bag picking up the wrapping paper as it falls to the floor. I'm always so afraid of losing little pieces of toys in all the wrapping paper (since we open things up and play with them before moving on.) I think I picked it up from my dad - he always did that. I'm glad you had a good Christmas!
Looks like Santa was nice to the Becks this year:) What a fun Christmas. Glad you guys had a good day.
How fun, I want a new wake board! That after math picture looks familiar, we had a similar one around here. And I love the picture of Brenner laughing in your header. So cute!
