Holiday Fun

We sure have been busy since we got back from San Diego, doing all sorts of Christmas activities. I can't believe Christmas Eve is only two days away-I could sure use another week to wrap, cook, clean...and hubby could use some more time to finish up the playhouse. I'm not sure that it's going to be fully done by Christmas Day :( Oh well, thats what happens when you get busy! On to the pictures...


A little arts and crafts

Our nearest mall hosted a breakfast with Santa. You got to see him, Mrs Claus read a story, had breakfast and then decorated gingerbread cookies. Decorating the cookie was Nate's favorite part!


Longest line of cookie decorators that I've ever seen!




One Saturday Nate went to a holiday class-he sang songs, did crafts and got to meet Frosty! (his new favorite holiday character)



Still in love with his "jingle bell" necklace!




Ok, so Nate is having an off year with Frosty too...though he likes to watch him

A local shopping center had various days of Storytime with Mrs Claus. We did a craft, listened to a few stories/sang songs, had snack and left with a goodie bag. Fun!






Super intrigued by Mrs Claus' glittery,shimmery, bright red lipstick! Wowee!




One night Nate, Aaron, mommy, Nana and Pap-Pap visited a local farm for "Moo-ey Christmas". Animals wore hats, there was a hayride with Christmas lights, s'mores by the fire, hot chocolate...we had a great time.

This past week Nate, daddy, Grandmother, Granddad, Uncle Ben and cousin Autumn visited a railroad park in Scottsdale. They had a bunch of Christmas lights and both a train and carousel to ride.



Choo-choo!

And finally...we again went this year to our local Polar Express event-Santa reads the Polar Express story and then gives each child a bell. There's also snacks and crafts.
