The best presents!

So Brayden was blessed with some wonderful Christmas presents, but wouldn't you know--he'd rather play with my phone and crawl on the box!

Christmas morning

Brayden dressed in his Santa suit trying out the "washable" crayons.

We enjoyed a nice Christmas breakfast with Jason's mom, Caryl.

The Smiths and the Schmidts

At the Beach

The beach was fun and it was a beautiful day. We also took a little time for an afternoon drink.

After Christmas

It's almost back to normal, but I get rides from Grampa. I also crawl as fast as I can.

Cruising and the Cat

Gramma caught me standing still--usually I'm in motion holding onto everything I can to get around on my two legs. I also stand still once I catch the cat!

New Orleans, Louisiana

So much for Texas. We traveled I-10 and went over a lot of bridges that went over a lot of swamp land. We eventually crossed a bridge that went over Lake Pontchatrain (not the really long one across the middle), but, boy, is that a lot of water. Destination--Don and Jackie's house.

There's Don and Jackie in their beautiful house finally refinished two months ago thanks to Hurricane Katrina.
