Getting ready for Santa

We are celebrating Christmas early this year because of traveling to Springfield. So last night was our Christmas Eve. I still don't think Kellen really "gets it" but he definitely knows that it is Jesus Birthday.

We made cookies for santa last night. Kellen thought he would really like some more sugar cookies so that's what we did.

Kellen wanted to show he was "3" this year at Christmas.

Yesterday morning we all went to the mall in anticipation to see santa. We got to the line and Kellen did NOT want to see him. He said "I will cry when I sit on Santa's lap." So we went to the play area instead. My ideas rarely get followed through.

This past week the Oldham's came over for a Christmas party. It was nice getting to hang out all together. The kids exchanged gifts and we had an appetizer dinner.


I gave Keagan a banana dipped in some chocolate fondue. Needless to say he loved it.

We have had a great week of preparing for Christmas. Now we just need to get packed up and ready for Christmas with our families in Springfield.
