December 4th - The Polar Express

We took the babies to the polar express for the second year in a row. It was just Me, Cam, Grammy, Aiden and Bella this year. Aiden had a BALL and I must admit I got teary eyed more than once watching his excitement!!! Bella enjoyed it (especially singing christmas carols at the end), but of course most of the "magic" was over her head. However, she was in good spirits the whole time and we all had a wonderful time.

Check out Bella's little handprint on the window...so sweet!

Bella loves to grab the camera now...

"Santa is coming"
"I see him"
Aiden totally loved Santa
Bella did not!

I was trying to get a picture of Aiden with his bell from Santa and he wouldn't look up from it, but look how happy Bella is about her bell :)
Bella clapping after each carol

SO TIRED!!!

December 1st - Aiden sliding in the backyard

For obvious reasons we don't get many opportunities to use the playground in the backyard during the winter. So, when we have a day without rain we bundle up and head out. This particular day Aiden was all about the slide.

The lighting of the tree downtown

It has become a tradition that we all go downtown to watch the lighting of the Christmas tree the Friday after Thanksgiving. Cam and the girls had prior plans so the babies and I went with my family. It was extra fun this year because Aiden was super excited about the tree. He was also very impressed by Santa riding in on a fire truck...it is a great way to kick off the Christmas season. Let the festivities begin!!!









So much to be thankful for...
