Christmas Pictures

Down below are some pictures from Christmas Day. It was great to spend time with both families. For dinner, Brandon's parents had both of our families over dinner which was so nice. The picture with the bat in front of us might need some explanation...each year Brandon tries to guess what his presents are by shaking them ahead of time. So, for the past 3 years Brandon's dad, Isaac, comes up with a trick on one of his presents to surprise him. The first year when Brandon picked up his present, he was shocked. The second year when he picked up a present a recording of his parents voice came on "telling him to put the present down". The third year something popped up at him when he lifted one of his presents. This year, when Brandon picked up his present, a bat came flying down from the ceiling as a reminder to what we went through with the bat being in our apartment! It was pretty funny!
