Getting Ready for Christmas

We had a lot of fun getting ready for Christmas. The boys experienced their first Christmas tree, and helped the best they could to hang ornaments. They also enjoyed the decorations around the house. My favorite decoration growing up soon became their favorite. The crank ice pond with the twirling skaters. They loved to listen to the music and watch the skaters....so much that the pond is no more :( I am hoping David can fix it for next year. They also liked this inflatable snow globe with a snowman inside.

We also had a lot of fun doing a chocolate calendar to count down to Christmas.

Vising Santa

We went to see Santa at Albertsons. They boys were a little timid, but eventually warmed up. They loved to give him "booyaas"

We also went to see Santa at the mall on Christmas Eve with Papa Craig and Grandma Teresa. This time they didn't want to sit with him, but we still got some good shots.



The boys then got to ride a couple rides.
