Brigham loved helping us get ready for the holidays this year, and I loved having a child to celebrate Christmas with. He enjoyed playing with his early Christmas gift, a new nativity set from grandma and grandpa Hicks.
He loved helping us decorate the Christmas tree and got excited each morning when we would turn on the lights. These are some pics of my boys and some of their favorite ornaments. Brigham liked my Tigger one and his new Mickey Mouse Clubhouse one. Aaron loves his acorn bird that he made when he was three. He puts it in a prominent place on the tree every year and likes to show it off to everyone that comes over.
Brigham loved anything having to do with Christmas lights. He would get so excited to see them and open his mouth and eyes really wide.
He loved the lights at temple square. He would ohh and ahh and clap as we were walking around.
He didn't really love the visit with Santa.
But he did love the chocolate sucker he got from Santa.
He also loved the giant Mickey he got from grandma and grandpa Barth.
He enjoyed opening all of his gifts Christmas morning and having lots of time to play with them.
I think what Brigham (and we) enjoyed most about this Christmas season was having so much time to spend with both of our families. He loved having cousins and grandparents to play with him and pay him attention all the time. He stayed up way too late many nights because he was having so much fun with them. We are so grateful for the time we had to spend with family and friends. We are grateful for this time of year that we have to reflect on and celebrate the birth of our Savior. We are so grateful for Him and His life and example.

Rach, these pictures are too cute. Honestly, that Brigham is a doll. You and Aaron aren't too bad yourselves. :)
