breakfast with santa.

day one // to start off our advent, we surprised you with a visit with your new elf on a shelf (which you named buddy in honor of your new favorite movie) he spelled out your name and gave you a present... new undies or as you call them so cutely, 'underpants' you were so excited and so careful not to touch him.

after you said hello we had another suprise... SANTA. you were so excited to go see him. patient, you were not but excited you were. we went up right away to avoid the line and when it was your turn, you danced right in front of them. you weren’t scared at all and introduced yourself so politely. then you came back to eat a little bit of the pancakes before deciding you were done. you did a little craft and then we headed out to the neat park. a fun morning indeed.

tree lighting.

 

we all headed up to the city’s annual tree lighting. you had such a wonderful time. we missed you mamaw and papaw!

 

 you were so excited to see rudolph and frosty. we had to wait a while to get on the train and you still aren’t the best at waiting so i spun you around until we got very dizzy.

 

 

then we went for a ride in the train and you saw Santa. after we got off daddy, nana, and pap were there and we all went to listen to the live music where you managed to dance for a long time. my how you love to dance! you dance everywhere. Then we went to do a few arts and crafts where you got your NOSE PAINTED like rudoplh you were sooo excited for that. then after we told our goodbyes, we went to pick up some cain’s chicken and went to look at some Christmas lights.

little cowboy.

 

your new favorite... to wear momma's boots and now you found an old cowboy hat. you walk around and say you are woody :)

 

 

park.

 

we went to the park tonight to have our acorn races we started a few weeks ago. this kept you busy for almost 30 minutes. it was just me, you, and three acorns. then after we went to look at Christmas lights for the first time this year. you loved it and kept saying, “more Christmas lights please” then you got a little upset and said “get out like trick or treating”! silly boy.

 

deck the halls

 

thanksgiving weekend, we decorated. this year was so so much fun. you bounced up and down when daddy took the tree down. you helped hang the decorations ever so carefully. i love seeing you experience Christmas. it is truly magical.

ELF is your new all time favorite. I had no idea you would like it so much. now, you know most of the funny parts by heart. this is your first movie to really love that is not a cartoon. we love watching and quoting it with you too. your favorite part is “fruit spray, ahhh it burns, scared to go up, big potty!” it will be on repeat for many weeks. we love acting it out. i have a feeling you will be into acting – you are very dramatic at such a young age!
