Since we are staying here this year for Christmas we might as well be festive. We decorated the tree and this was a new thing for Austin. Last year we didn't even bother since he was at the age where he would have pulled everything off anyway and we were going out of town too. But this year we involved Austin in the decorating and he loved holding and looking at the ornaments and then helping put them on the tree. He has also been really good at leaving it alone and loves when we turn the lights on. I have also been doing a advent calendar with him and he looks forward to moving the little snowflake everyday. It's so cute to see him get excited about Christmas this year!
We also made a trip to see Santa. We walked over to a nearby shopping center and met some friends there to take pictures with Santa, get some free samples and enjoy cookies and hot chocolate. It was a fun little outing except for the part of actually sitting with Santa and getting his picture taken. I knew exactly how he was going to react but I wanted a picture anyway! Austin was so upset he even distracted Santa from looking at me during the picture.
This is such a fun and busy time of year!

Oh his face with Santa! It looks like a mix of terror and rage, haha! I love how us "mean" moms still just take the picture and make them sit on a scary red man's lap. :)
HAHAHAHAHA, the picture of him with Santa is so funny! Aaron would do the same thing, great picture :)
You used to have that same reaction to Santa's lap!!
