Christmas Preparations

Here we are decorating our tree. This year it was over 10 ft.

Liam loved the Superman ornament the most!

We went to visit Santa multiple times. Liam loves Santa! Brielle didn't want to go anywhere near him. She liked to wave at him, but that was it. 

Here we are at a Christmas parade. They were throwing candy canes on the street and Brielle got one. She was so happy! She had never had any candy before.

We got to have breakfast with Santa this year too!

 I love this picture. Liam is just taking it all in and carefully touching Santa's hand.

 We went to a special Christmas program. Brielle played in this chair for at least 15 minutes.

This is Liam getting ready for his preschool Christmas program. 

Here he is singing on stage. It was the cutest thing he has done yet. He did all kinds of dance moves and sang loudly.

My sister and niece came up to visit and they took Liam to make a reindeer at the mall. He loved it!

While my family was in town we had an early Christmas party at my parent's house. 

Everyone received great gifts!

We did our annual gingerbread houses.

I took on the task of making all the gingerbread myself this year. It was a lot of work, but they turned out great.

Liam had some friends over to make Christmas crafts and they did a gift exchange. 

We had our annual Christmas Party. It was the best one yet. We did a white elephant exchange this year and I ended up with a vintage light up Santa for the front porch. I love it!

We also took Liam ice skating. He did surprisingly well again this year. He thoroughly enjoyed it.
