Christmas Train

We met up with some of our favorite friends to ride the train together this year.
It is twice as fun with friends.  We enjoyed it tremendously!

Visiting Santa 2012

We completed our annual trip to Bass Pro Shop to see Santa. They always have a great set up and we had no waiting (it was a Tuesday night).
 


Nate went into great detail about wanting a StarWars ship that he can play with.  Rissa was just happy to have a candy cane!  She does however, want a pink and purple bike.


 
Then they colored pictures...


Nate decided he wanted to give his to Santa.


Santa was pretty excited about it!  Then he asked Nate to mail it to him so he would be sure to have it at home.
 
 
So sweet!
 
Then they played some of the games....


 
The best part was when we passed this snowman.  Nate looks at me and asks, "Does he have a sack?.  I reply, "No baby, Santa carries the sack of toys".  He looked perplexed and said, "then why is he doing the JJ Watt?".
 
Love it!

 
I swear, I am so lucky to have such adorable kids!

Be blessed this Christmas season!
 

Festival of Lights 2012

We hit up the local Festival of Lights.  Luckily, despite the unusually warm weather, the atmosphere does lead us to believe it is indeed the Christmas season!

Christmas Production @ Daycare

Who doesn't love children's Christmas programs? 
I was happy that both of mine actually sang this time!

We were blessed to have NeeNee, GramAunt, and Grandma and Grandpa all come down to watch!




 
There was a live nativity

and even "Baby Jesus"!


Then we went in for some birthday cake (for Jesus' birthday, of course)
 
and did some crafts.


 
We were so happy to spend time with family and friends today!

2012 Thanksgiving Performance

The kids' school put on their annual Thanksgiving performance.  It was adorable, if I do say so myself!

Marissa insisted on wearing her boots!




Nate and Julianne really know how to 'put your tail feathers in and shake it all about'.

Our CHEESY kids!
 



 Nate and his crazy friend, Ava

I have so much to be thankful for, but these two are at the top of my list!
