Christmas 2012

Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year!  I love the celebration Jesus's birthday, the festivities at church, the decorations, the lights, the excitement in my kids eyes, the get togethers and of course the food!  Landon was so excited this year and I am pretty sure he made his list like the very beginning of December.  Parker really understood it more this year and as most people know, loves frosty, so of course he was in heaven.  He loved all the decorations, loved, loved looking at the Christmas lights and could not get enough of Santa Claus.  Landon really understands that we celebrate Jesus's birthday and that it is the most important part of the season.  He also could not wait for Santa to come and was so excited about it all.
We try and cram as much stuff into the month as possible, not really on purpose, but it always happens.  Leopold, our elf, of course came back around Thanksgiving and the kids LOVED looking for him every morning.  We did the Pullen Park Christmas train ride, went out to Hillridge Farms this year with the Jones family to see the lights, enjoyed some parades, did our annual gift exchange/cookie decorating with the Jones family, attended the Falcon Christmas party where the Grinch once again made his appearance,

spent lots of time with family and celebrated Jesus's birthday!  We spent Christmas Eve at our house with family and Christmas Day at home and that evening with my dad and his family.
It was a great holiday and one that we will always remember!
