This weekend we got really excited about Christmas. We went to see Santa on Friday night, which was a little adventure. We went to an incredibly nice shopping district and saw a really "good-looking" Santa. The kids looked really nice and behaved decently in line. I have decided Christmas brings out the best and worst in all of us, especially children. Anyway, Maisy and Carson had a good conversation with Santa, I guess. I couldn't focus on anything except the screaming toddler in my arms. He was definitely not a fan of the handsome man in red.
On Saturday, I sorted gifts and started wrapping. With each purchase I feel closer and closer to the end of my list, but the it continues to allude me. Only 13 days left...I need to get it together. Knox has put a huge damper on my shopping skills. He naps, hates coats and loves to run wild in the stores.
Today we woke up to 3 inches of snow and frigid temperatures. That will really put you in the Christmas spirit. The kids braved the elements and played until they were frozen. Maisy told me she had "icicles hanging from her nose holes." Knox stumbled around in too big cowboy boots crunching the ice. He really liked it, but was ready to get out of the cold. He never wants to come inside, but today he didn't fight me.
Overall it was a festive weekend, with a gingerbread house to top it off. I truly LOVE the Christmas season!
PS-I got a new camera for Christmas. Thank you, Jeremy! I love it! My favorite picture is the one of Phelps (the elf) with Knox trying to ambush him from the stairs. He LOVES the elf! He jabbers and giggles at him all the time. He is constantly trying to get him. So funny!!!
