Time to open presents. Helping Max open his presents.

...MR. POTATO HEAD

After we opened presents Grandma Donna and Max went outside to play in the snow.

The rest of the day/night was spent hanging out and playing games. Green (I believe it was Dean) Dominated the World!

Love this time of year and spending it with family.

Bryson Family Christmas Party

Every year at Christmas time we have a family tradition to get together with my mom's BIG extended family eat dinner, Celebrate my Grandma Bryson Birthday because it is on Christmas Eve, give grandma and grandpa their Christmas Presents and have a family gift exchange.

Here we are celebrating Grandma's 82nd Birthday!

Max opening his present. We put all the kids names in a hat before the party and they draw names and bring a gift to each other. 

He got a truck and loves it!

The rest of us adults bring a gift of a 10 dollar value and then we go around and draw numbers. When it is your turn you can take an unopened gift from the table of "still" one from someone else. The gift can be stollen 2 times so it touches 3 hands total and then it is frozen. 

 This is Grandpa opening his Christmas gift. This year ALL of the family went in and bought Grandpa a BIG gift. We bought him a trip to Alaska to go fishing with a few of my uncles. 

He was SO excited!

Love this family tradition! Excited to continue it for years to come.

Dean's 29th Birthday

 It seems like it has become quite a tradition to go to Taconos for Dean's Birthday.

So here we are again at Taconos with Friends and Family. 

After Taconos Dean and I went to the new shopping place called the Village and walked around. They had music playing, a water show was going and then there was this beautiful tree, snow covered, decorated, and lights on. Awe... Breath taking!

I Love Dean so much! He is such a great Husband, Dad and Friend! He is so supportive and everything I need in a companion. He is my Best Friend and I LOVE spending every second I can with him!

Santa Came to Visit us at our house!

 This year we were privileged to have Santa come to our house and say hi to Max.

Max had a lot of fun! Thank you Santa for coming to our house.

Preping for Christmas 2013!!!

 This year we finally broke down and bought more then a 3 foot tall tree. So this is us decorating it!

Max being independent and putting decorations on the tree by himself. 

Max and I out doing some last minute Christmas shopping.

He fell in love with this dog stocking! So sweet!
