I can't believe I am going to post pictures from Christmas in February. I really want to do it, since I want to be able to use this blog as a way to look at all the great things we have done over the years with the kids. I have thought about writing this entry over 100 times and something always seems to take priority, usually snuggling with miss Sydney or trying to run Sam to the bathroom (yes we have begun potty training!)
Right before Christmas we went to Bass Pro shop for the kids to take pictures with Santa. This place is AMAZING, and could have been an entire day for Samuel. He rode 4-wheelers, looked at fish, saw stuffed animals and then got to see Santa. Last year was a bit scary for him (we couldn't get him to sit on santa's lap) and so were unsure how this year would be but he was a champ. He loved it and went right up to Santa and sat on his lap (maybe because he had candy canes!) They took great pictures and both kids were really cute. Here is a few pics I took.
This Christmas was a great time. Samuel got really excited. We had Jiji and Papster and Nana and Papa here to join us for the holiday. We had a great holiday spending time with the kids and relaxing. It was crazy that on Christmas day Sam and Ben went out for a bike ride, I never thought I would be saying that. Samuel was really excited and after opening each present he would want to play with it immediately and stop opening presents it was really cute. Then after opening just a few presents he laid down on his new Cars - Mater blanket and looked at us and said night-night. We were shocked but it was really cute. So we opened up more presents on Christmas day and the day after. It really made it a true Christmas week. This year with so much changing the presents were great, but just being with family made us thankful. Each year things change (good and bad) but our friends and family have always been there for us. We feel truly blessed with our family and friends and just tried to soak up that time with all of them.
Here are just a few of the hundreds of pictures we took during Christmas.
