Christmas 2010 in pictures from my phone cuz my camera was back in Eau Claire!!!
Braden had his preschool Christmas concert. Andra, Bryan & I dressed in our Sunday best (well, Braden and Bryan did anyway), and headed to the Church for the concert (Ryan & Ayla were working at their respective jobs!)

Where's Braden? Hint: he's the snazzy dresser next to baby Jesus!
Processing in with his class
Look for the green arrow, and you'll find Braden. His tie created some problems for him, as "every time I moved, my tie popped off!"
Some more pictures of Braden
And some pics of his fan club!!!
Mommy, Braden and Bryan
Auntie Emmy, Braden and Bryan
And now, a great (but long) story about Bryan's shirt. We had a crazy day scheduled - Andra was helping with the hotdog lunch after Braden's program, so it was awhile before we left the church. Our next stop was a haircut for Andra, and some distraction at Petco for Emmy, Brade & BryBry (Ryan enjoyed his snazzily dressed shoppers zooming through the store!)
By the time we headed home, Bryan fell asleep in the car. I carried him up to bed, pulled off his shoes, pants, vest & tie (who sleeps in a tie?) and left him alone to nap.
Andra and I started our marathon cookie & peanut brittle baking, and realized we had to rush to pick up Ayla from school (I had to go with to see her classroom). I grabbed Brybry and the nearest pair of jeans and shoes (the black dress shoes!), put on his coat over his dress shirt and hustled him half-asleep out to the car.
After a tour of Ayla's classroom, and a chance to check out her incredible journal (full of color and LOTS of great sentences!) we headed back to the house. Bryan fell asleep in the car again, so I carried him in football style and put him on the couch. More cookie baking - with help from a now awake Bryan - still in his coat, until it was time to meet Ryan for supper. We get to the restaurant, take off Bryan's coat, and find he's wearing his jeans and black dress shoes with his WHITE dress shirt from the morning. Oops!!!
I just wish I had a pic of him after he had eaten... the shirt wasn't as white, and it was a bit see-through by the end of dinner. What a funny little Bry!
And finally, a few more pics from the weekend...
Braden and his art kit
Reggie and his snowman - what an artist he is!
Ayla and Bryan sporting fashion from Ayla's winter line - the right wig and hat combination are key to pulling off this look
And finally, a confused Uncle-Joel Claus & Grandpa Ron!
