Christmas Morning!

This year for Christmas we had the pleasure of having Uncle Tom, Nina Barbara and Cousin Gabriel stay with us for a few days. The boys love having them here with us! Plus it is so nice to enjoy the holiday with them!

The boys are waiting so patiently for all the adults to wake up and be ready to open gifts!

Kale was so happy that Santa listened and brought him the Leap Pad Explorer. I think that Kai is happy too because big brother has been a nice boy and let Kai play with it lots too. Santa would be so proud of them!

Kai was so happy to see that Santa made him his very own turtle blanket for his big boy bed!

The boys had so much fun opening all of their gifts and playing non-stop the rest of the day! Hope your Christmas was as merry and bright as ours was!

DuBransky House Christmas Eve

So another year of Christmas fun at the DuBransky house has come and past. We are so thankful to all the DuBransky's that they count on in on this yearly tradition of opening gifts on Christmas Eve. Each year brings changes as we grow larger and larger. The boys love getting gifts from their entire DuBransky family - Uncles, Aunties, Cousins, Grandma Marianne and PopPop!

Christmas Eve Brunch

One of our recent traditions has been to host a brunch on Christmas Eve morning. We bake lots of yummy treats and open the house to friends and family. It is always so fun to have everyone stop by for a visit. Sadly, as I looked back at the photos I realized just how busy I must have been that day because this is the only photo I took. It was one of our many fun items we baked. It was bacon pinwheels and they are so yummy. Enjoy! (Let me know if you want the recipe!)

VCA Christmas Performance

The school that Kale attends holds a Christmas performance every year. The children spent a few weeks getting ready for their performance and Kale was so happy for to sing his songs. The church was very crowded and the lights were down so that the stage was the only thing lit. When Kale walked up with his class he couldn't see us even though we were only five pews in front of him. At the end when the house lights were turned on, and he finally spotted us the smile on his face show us how happy he was to see us. The children did an amazing job and it is so awesome to watch children educate us adults about the reason for the season.

Breakfast with Santa and Mrs. Claus

One of our favorite new restaurants in town, Central City Market, hosted a wonderful breakfast with Santa and Mrs. Claus this year. The restaurant has a great brunch and the boys thought it was so cool that the Claus family stopped by for a visit.


The boys are so happy!

Mrs. Claus read "The Polar Express," to the children while the parents enjoyed finishing their meals.

A Visit with Santa

One of the local law offices in town has a great display every year with Santa. This year Santa brought with him some of his elves and another holiday friend too. The boys were so happy to be able to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas.


Kale really enjoyed the Snowman too! Notice that Kai is not in the picture, I think Kai thought the snowman was a bit strange.

Funny Faces = Funny Brothers

These glasses have brought tons of laughs to our house (thanks Barbara Taft!) These two boys love playing with each other and know how to make us laugh! Enjoy the silly faces!
