Brody opens his stocking presents on Christmas Day morning before church.  He got a tractor and a wagon (big square baler) from Santa.  Just what he asked for!

On Christmas Day we woke up and Maverick and Brody opened stocking presents from Santa. Brody was excited by his little tractor and wagon. Then we headed to church to celebrate Christmas and Mara's baptism. I am one of Mara's Godparents so it was especially special. All five kids did pretty well in church behaving. After church we celebrated Mara's baptism with some caramel rolls and fruit before heading back to the farm for the day. We even fit in a game just the adults when most of the kiddos were napping!
