O Christmas Tree!

Last week my family finally did our annual shopping trip for a Christmas tree! Here's my dad, Traci and Brecken.

Jamie and Daniel
Brecken got his first driving lesson thanks to Daniel!
Here's Brecken helping us decorate

When I say decorate I really mean eat the ornaments!
And trying to eat the berries!

After getting in one too many ornaments we had to put a gate up
I am so excited for Christmas this year, I dont know if it's because I have a baby now or what but I cannot wait!

Brecken just loves his Santa Clause toy, he carries it all around the house sucking on it
Last Friday I took him to get pictures with Santa. While all the other kids were crying and scared he was just smiling the whole time and most of the pictures were of him looking up at Santa. He did such a great job.

Fun weekend!

We had a great Thanksgiving this last weekend. We had all the Dell family over at my parents house for dinner. Brecken loved all the attention he gets from all the relatives, he was a happy baby.


Then on Saturday night Traci, Brecken and I went to see the temple lights. Its probably my favorite thing to do this time of year, It really gets you into the Christmas spirit.


It was finally cold enough to put Brecken into his cute winter clothes. I have been waiting a year for him to be able to wear this super cute jacket! (Thanks Nat!)
Here's Brecken posing in his santa hat. He makes the best faces. Women would kill for those eyebrows!
The most exciting thing about this weekend though was that Brecken started walking! He is only 10 months old and for the last few weeks he would take a step or two but then fall. But now he will walk across a room or two. My whole family was so excited the first time he did it we were all watching and all started clapping and laughing and he loved the attention, so now anytime he walks he gets so excited and looks to see if anyone is going to praise him for it!
He gets into a lot more trouble now, and he knows it!
