2008 Bradshaw Family Christmas Gathering

Alex, my 15 year-old-nephew, LOVES the Dallas Cowboys. I HATE them, but that is beside the point. My Mom had me make him a fleece blanket. He LOVED it!!!!!!!!!!
His brother Logan, to the left, LOVES the Minnesota Vikings, my Mom just bought some fleece for him the other day, after Christmas, because she felt bad that he didn't have one, so I am making him one too. He doesn't know it yet.

He keep wanting me to take his pic, he is a really silly kid, boy, I LOVE my nephews.
A friend of my Mom's found the cup and the football for him, he loved those too.

My dad got the funniest present of all.......

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

Christmas Morning 2008

Children and Christmas go hand in hand and this video says it all, Enjoy!

My boys were soooooo excited for Santa to come!

Christopher was checking out what Santa brought.

He got a Harley Davidson Scooter, that revs like a real motorcycle.

Bryson got a tool bench, and it is just his size.

He also got a Mickey Mouse with a fleece blanket.

Another pic with Christopher on his scooter.

They got a construction site that has a crane that runs on a remote control.

Christopher got a Planet Hero's spaceship. Randy and I found it back in November on clearance at Walmart for $13.00. I saw them at Toys-r-us for $25.00.

The boys opening up presents.

Christopher holding up 2 new sleepers, that he desperately needed. Plus, they glow in the dark.

Randy must of been a really good boy this year, he got the biggest present under the tree. Smile = Priceless!

Gotta love the smile! This is my messy face kid, he is so funny when he smiles for pics!

Christopher icing his cookie.
Brycie probably with a mouth full of candy, I love the pirate look.

Christopher being very particular!

Getting ready for the gift-exchange.

Opening their gifts, they just exchanged.

Brycie inspecting what he received.

Holding their cool gifts so Mommy can take a pic.


Visits with Santa!!!!!!!!

We had to go to the bank and we saw my Mom at work while we were there and low and behold there was Santa Claus! Christopher has never cried when he is with him but Bryson on the other hand has everytime except this time. He even let him pick him up.
This is the guys waiting in line at the mall to see Santa, we went for FHE. Bryson was sooooo excited and then when he actually got on his lap.......
He screamed bloody murder!
He hated it! At least, I have a pic of him not crying.

2008 Belmont Ward Christmas Party & Nativity

The kids were so cute!!!!!!!!If you look closely, to the right at the bottom, that is little Brycie sitting there as a little sheep. I was so shock that he sat there the whole time because he is still in nursery.
Here is a better pic of him, a leader told me that they had a little hat on him to match his shirt but he took it off.

Christopher is the last Shepherd on the left holding the broom handle, he did a great job too. I was surprised as well, that he participated.

Here is a video, showing some of the nativity, like is said earlier, the whole thing was really cute!!!!!

Shelly's Graduation--Bachelor of Nursing!!!!!!

On December 12th, 2008, at 7:00PM at the VCU Seigel Center, Shelly graduated, YEAH!!!!!This is her walking in with her class. I am so proud of her, she has worked really hard to get where she is at.
This is the whole class, 3 doctoral candidate's, 2 rows of masters, and the rest bachelors.

Sorry this is blurry, but this is her walking across the stage, GOOD JOB, SHELL!!!!

This was right after she came down off the stage, they let family members come up and take close ups if they wanted and of course, I wanted too.

This was after everyone walked and the whole gym was going crazy cheering for the Grads! Shelly was looking up at me so I could take her pic.


With her very proud parents, this makes #3 of their 4 kids to get their bachelors, Robbie is close to finishing as well.

The whole crew, I wouldn't of missed it for the world.

A very proud sister and nephew!

My boys LOVE Christmas Lights!!!!!!!

My Mom and I went shopping on a Saturday afternoon and was stopped at a light and saw this, the antlers on this SUV, I laughed and thought I really have to take a picture of this, so cute!
This is a house not to far from us, it is really amazing!! We have been past this house a few times and the first time Bryson cried as we were leaving it, he was sad that he couldn't see it anymore. So Daddy turned around so we could drive past it again, that made him happy.
This is another house not to far from us, we actually got out of the van and walked around at this one, I took so many pics but decided not to bore you with them so I just picked a few to share.
The homeowner's left no space uncovered, it was really amazing!
There was even a path that took you to the side and back of the house, everywhere you looked there was something to look at.

Thanksgiving!!!!

I made this cake for Thanksgiving at my parents' house and boy did it turn out great. The cake was so pretty I didn't want to cut it.
