Preparing for the Holidays...

We spent some fun time preparing for our first Christmas as a family of FOUR.  It was both fun and challenging to celebrate with TWO children this year!

 
The kids loved cutting down then putting up and decorating the tree.  We ended up with a sort of puny one...but hey thats what happens when you cut your own...in the DARK!!!!


Addi actually slept through most of the putting up...but Mason did help some!


 !
Mason got an extra special Christmas treat.  Mommy and Daddy took him on the Polar Express!
He had a really good time despite the late hour and somewhat cheesy/lameness of the whole thing (not lame to him).  It was precious to see how excited he got!


His lil face just lit up watching the North Pole go by outside the train window!

The kids also got to take a trip to the Hayes center to see the Holiday Train Exhibit.  Of course Mason loved it, but Addi really did too!  There were lots of buttons to push to make the trains go and other things move.
Sorry can't get pix to load right now!

We also got to enjoy a party at the Williams' home with all three families and kids, grandkids...etc;
Santa even made an appearance!


What a great way to welcome the holidays!
