T'was the Days Before Christmas

We packed a whole lot of fun into the weeks before Christmas! Brennan and Rowe were both sick for parts of every week since Thanksgiving, so a lot of the fun happened just days before Christmas. Brennan wanted everything to be just like the first Christmas. That would be Christmas 2012, apparently the first Christmas he remembers!

This is what a lot of our days looked like. Well, except I probably wasn't smiling that much.

Brennan had his own tree in his room this year, which he thoroughly enjoyed!

Getting our live tree!

and guess who was a big help decorating it :)
