Christmas has arrived!! That darn Elfie Sneakins trapped the girls & Gavin in their room again this year to ensure they couldn't sneak out and take a peak before the parental units could arise and wake the kids up. Heaven says she was woken up by Santa himself shouting, "Ho Ho Ho" down the hall. As the day progressed on, this story turned more and more intense and by the end of the day both Heaven & Gavin reported actually seeing Santa. These reports could not be confirmed or denied of course.
Gavin's big present this year was a Play Station. As he is REALLY into football right now, he can't wait to try his new College football game.
He got A TON of Gators stuff
The girls major gift was Taylor Swift tickets for her concert in Atlanta in April. They are so excited. They LOOOVE Taylor Swift!! They also have another present to be delivered by Santa after Christmas sometime. Apparently Santa tried really hard for several hours on Christmas Eve, in the rain and cold wind to load this particular item onto his sleigh and it was determined professionals are needed....hmmm....I wonder what it could be?? Here are a few videos of the girls opening their package.
AB can't wait to try her DippinDots maker...Thanks Nana P
Heaven loves her some JB!
Christmas at Nana's
Christmas at the Brandts
I got to spend a little bit with my Grandad today too. He was very excited, or excited for him anyway to get his gifts. He loved his FSU blanket and his Candy too!
5 Boys > 2 Parents Sanity I'm not sure how it happened exactly...but after several days of recuperation, it appears we have survived the boy filled weekend. It was loud, it was messy at times, and it was most definitely chaotic...but overall...I'd say it was a fairly successful weekend for Gavin's big 1-1. Friday night he had 4 friends spend the night & though I had a mini stroke over a legitimate offer to spray paint part of our outside storage area, the boys had a blast. Gavin is really hung up on Guthrie's right now so we started the evening out with Guthrie's for dinner & then John, begin the brave (insane) loaded all the boys up and took them to see Ice Age. They returned home with plenty of energy to burn & spent the rest of the evening playing outside and having video game battles. Thanks to my saint of sister who kept the girls, it was a boys only zone, and was undoubtably outnumbered. The next morning, though they were up VERY late,...
The girls had their church Christmas Program this weekend. They performed at both morning services and were equally amazing each time around! They've been practicing for the mast few months, and all their hard work most definitely paid off.
Pretend It's January 5th, 2013 It's Birthday Season here at the Brandito Lair! Mr. Brandt heads back tomorrow and it's time for the annual triple treat birthday party for Mr. B, Uncle Danny and Annabelle. Katy made 2 delicious cakes for the event. The boys got their own green cake and Annabelle got her own special Mario Cake. We had some delicious food and the Birthday people got lots of special prizes! The UnBirthday Party was definitely a success!
