Brenneman Buzz: January 2015

How did 2015 get here so quickly? Our December was gone in a blink and with it went our Christmas tree, advent activities, family fun time, and birthday party for Jesus. Many memories were made, and with the exception of some major dental work for Mommy, they were ones we are already looking back on and laughing about.

Here were some highlights:

The boys took candy canes to their doctor's office and all the bell ringers at our grocery stores (and they both were brave enough to hand them out themselves and tell everyone Merry Christmas for the first time).

Ryker, after watching far too much football with his dad and the commercials that go along with it, shouted in the grocery store that we should, "get some bud light because it's the perfect beer for NFL games". Though completely inappropriate, it was innocent and made all of us laugh.

We tried to surprise Jevon with a visit from his buddies, but he figured it out the night before by telling the boys that he sure was looking forward to seeing Mr. Jared the next day...which prompted a "hey how did you know" response which gave it away that he had guessed his surprise correctly; we had so much fun catching up with the Brothers brothers and their families.

Spilling the special cocoa on the circle...an annual tradition!

Flushing the toilet while playing To Bethlehem.

Camping out in front of our fire place as a family of five!

Decorating our Christmas tree while we all sing "What A Glorious Night".

Fun with friends and family celebrating the birth of our Savior! What a wonderful finish to a year full of blessings.
