Let's start on the topic of Santa Claus. When we first mentioned this guy, Brooklyn wanted NOTHING to do with him. Didn't even want him coming to our house! So we got our Christmas tree up right after Thanksgiving, I thought maybe if we had decorations up she would warm up! So thanks to Aunt Julie and Uncle Jeffy for helping put up the tree! Brooklyn really enjoyed it also!!! This was our finished product.
We made a trip to the mall, but made sure to just watch Santa from a distance. Brooklyn might have snuck a peak, but otherwise had her head buried in my shoulder clinching for dear life with her hands over her head. When told not to be scared, she replied "I'm just sleepy". YEAH RIGHT! That girl is too smart! However, but Christmas she was excited to get presents and surprises from Santa, but still didn't want much to do with him. Even after Christmas I said something to her about maybe going to see Santa next year when she was bigger, she gave me a very panicked look!
The shopping got done as good as it was going too, and we were ready.....well almost. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate with us much. We were looking forward to Uncle Jonny and Papa Iowa coming down for Christmas. But lots of ice and snow later, didn't look like it was a very safe thing to do!
Luckily Santa has Rudolph, and he was still going to make it!!!!
Christmas Eve we went to the Service of the Bells. It is a service more geared to families with Children, and it is at 2 in the afternoon. When we went to the service, it was cold. When we came out, it was colder, and everything was covered with ice. We were glad to make it home safely!
We each got to open One gift on Christmas Eve. I will admit it.... I can't wait to open presents. Never have been able to wait, I would go through boxes and closets! So for me to just have everyone open one is saying a lot!!! Luckily since it was SO cold outside, we each got some FEETY PAJAMAS!!! Doesn't that sound like fun!!! I am sure I will get in trouble for posting this picture, but we sure had fun taking it. (Please note that Chris and I returned ours as they aren't quite as comfortable as adults as they may sound!) But boy were we ready for Santa in the morning!!!
We also left some milk and cookies out for Santa.....
