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!
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!
One of these outfits was self chosen....the other was chosen by Mama...can you guess which is which? Happy 4th of July everyone!! It was a rainy 4th for us Floridians. But with the rain comes cooler temperatures, and I'll take a little wet over sweat any day. We started the 4th off by sleeping in (which of course still means we were up by 9...) and then cooked out with the Brandt/Simmons clan for lunch. We'd planned to go to the Riverwalk area too take part in the crafts and whatnot but once the girls heard Ava was already at Nana's house...they could not be persuaded to do anything that did not include being with her. Cousins It was overcast and cloudy all day, but we did manage to escape most of the rain. Until the fireworks that is. I'm talking lite...
It's wacky hat day at PRE today. Only Annabelle felt inclined to participate as it costs 2 feathers. Heaven said it was a "total waste of feathers" and Gavin said nothing as his only hat is a Seminole hat and he's gone rogue lately claiming suppot for Gators. My dear Annabelle made up for both of their lack of sense & style. She is both Fancy in my large sunhat and Fabulous in her FSU Friday decor. Doesn't get much better. Happy Friday!
