Decorating the tree

"The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there"!

We went downtown with Mimi and Aunt Kristie to see the Christmas tree and all the pretty lights.

Taking a little rest

Emptying out his drawer of bowls, plates, cups and bibs.  One of our favorite activities these days.

We took Robert to see Santa Claus this year for the first time.  He was so excited while we were waiting in line and practically busted through the ropes when we were next.  After the lady opened up the rope he was pulling Jack's hand and almost running to get to Santa.  It was a little bit of a different story when we actually got closer to him.  He was so sad to sit on his lap.  He took a break from crying to turn around and get a good look at Santa Claus and then decided he still didn't care for him and proceeded to keep on crying.  Once Jack picked him up, he was happy to talk to Santa and even gave him a high five and a friendly wave good-bye.  I guess we will love Santa from afar for now.

We had a great visit with Grandpa Meece to celebrate his 65th birthday and Christmas.  Beau loved the balls and truck he got and had a great time playing with his Grandpa and cousins.
