Its starting to look alot like Christmas!!!!

We are all ready for Christmas around here, just counting down the days until santa arrives! You finally understand that Santa is going to bring the gifts and put them under the tree Christmas eve. We have went to see Santa three times now and you refuse to sit on his lap every single time. You are scared to death of him!!! You have wrote your letter to him and sent it off to the northpole, So hopefully he brings you everything you are asking for!!! We took a trip down to Locomotive park, you loved running around there looking at the lights, acting like the bear that is skiing and wrecks down the hill, you drove the train, danced on the dance floor, sat by the fireplace and played behind the igloo. The lights are so beautiful there, you love it there so much!! You got a cowboy stocking that is hanging by the fireplace that you love. You actually have two hanging up there this year your cowboy boot one and your Eagles one. Your such a spoiled kid!!! We have 14 blowups in the yard this year three huge ones that are taller than our windows in the living room! You love going out there and punching them! We got some snow the other day so of course we ran out and played in it, we went sledding down the driveway, made some snow angels and had a snowball fight. We tried to make a snowman but the snow wouldnt pack. We stayed out there until you were froze and couldnt handle it anymore. That is the first time that we have had snow at our own house long enough for us to go out and play in it! We have a huge tree this year, its fake but a really pretty one. You wont leave the ornaments alone on it, everytime I turn around you are taking one off!! Between you and the cats I will be suprised if it makes it to christmas!!! This year I sent out christmas cards with your picture on them and then I decided that instead of having the christmas letter from me I decided that I would make it written from you. Here is the copy of it.


2007 HOLIDAY GREETINGS TO EVERYONE!
I hope this finds all of you enjoying the holiday season as much as I am. I love everything to do with Christmas, except for seeing Santa in person. I have saw him twice now and have been to scared to sit on his lap and tell him my wish list. I wrote him a letter and sent it to the North Pole though, so hopefully he gets it and brings me everything I am hoping for.
I have had a very busy and eventful year. I have spent most of it playing with my toys, watching cartoons and doing other fun things. One of the highlights on my year was getting my new pets a Dalmatian dog named Perla and two turtles named Michelangelo and Leonardo. They get along well with my other pets Marty the dog and Lucifer, Missy and CJ the cats. I celebrated my third birthday this October with a cowboy themed party. I still love bull riding, cowboys, rodeo clowns and everything else to do with rodeo. Mom decorated my room in a bull riding theme this year and I love it. Mom, Uncle Cameron and I went to the Jackson Sundown Extreme Bulls in September. I had the time of my life. We got to sit really close to the shoots, my eyes were glued to the bucking bull action the whole time. I also got to go to the Lewiston Roundup and the Weippe rodeo. Uncle RJ and I entered the Weippe rodeo parade as a rodeo clown and bull rider. We won first place in the children’s category.
In March Mom, Dad, Uncles RJ and Chase and I went to Spokane where I got to attend my first concert. We saw Jason Aldean and Rascal Flatts. I enjoyed it a lot but fell asleep before Rascal Flatts sang my favorite song. We also got to swim in the motel pool which sure was fun.
I had a great summer, Mom and I spent the days at the beach, playing in the yard and going to the park.
In June Mom, Dad, Grandma Bonnie Uncles RJ and Chase and I went to Poulsbo, Washington for my Cousin Jennifer’s wedding. I got to do a few fun things for the first time while I was there. I got to go to the zoo, take a limo ride and take a ride on a ferry. I loved going down to the beach looking for starfish and seashells. Later that month Mom and I went and camped for a weekend with Papa Keith and Uncles RJ and Chase, we stayed in a tent for my first time and I loved it. I also got to go fishing for the first time, I didn’t catch anything though because mom wouldn’t put a hook on my line. I am too wild of a caster she says. I still had fun dreaming I was going to catch a whopper though.
In July Grandma Bonnie, Uncles RJ and Chase, Mom and I went to Joseph, Oregon and spent almost two weeks in a cabin. Everyday we went out to Wallowa Lake and spent our time swimming and playing. I got to ride on a bucking bull for the first time. I didn’t realize it was plastic and didn’t move, I had the ride of a lifetime. Later that month I got to go on my first boat ride. My mom and I spent the day with Aunt Chelsey and Uncle Joe on there boat. I was really scared of Joes driving at first but as the day went on I started to enjoy it. Joe and I got to do some fishing but I still didn’t catch anything, Mom still wouldn’t let me have a hook on my line. In August Mom Uncle RJ and I spent a weekend camped in Orofino. This time we stayed in the camper, it was really hot out and the water was freezing cold but we still had a lot of fun.
In September Mom and I went to Pasco and spent a few days with Aunt Chelsey and Uncle Joe. While I was there I got to go to Chuck-E-Cheeses for the first time. Later that month we went to the Orofino and Nez Perce County fairs. I rode the carnival rides for the first time and had a blast. The airplanes and Carousel were my favorites. I wasn’t to thrilled with the roller coaster or the spinning bears.
In November Mom and I went to Houston, Alaska and stayed with Aunt Candi and her family for three weeks. It was really cold and snowy there. I loved to play in the snow and I got to go sledding and build a snowman for the first time. While we were there my new cousin Sabree James Waite was born. I loved to hold her and sing to her. I spent a great deal of time arguing and fighting with Tatiana but still had fun with her. I was glad to get home but I now miss my cousins a lot.
I am now sitting here waiting for Christmas and Santa to come. The days don’t seem to go by fast enough. I hope you all have a great holiday season. I miss you all ,come and visit me soon.
Merry Christmas!
Love, Braden Jared
