The whirlwind that is December has come and gone for another year! We had a great holiday season this year and are so fortunate to have spent it with so many of our friends and family that mean the most to us.
We kicked off our holidays with the annual trip to see Santa at Enchanted Gardens. This is our favorite location to see Santa -- it's such a great location and atmosphere to really get you in the spirit. I love it because there's good picture opportunities (if everyone contributes) as well as some really good holiday shopping. Bell and Will love to look at the animals while enjoying cookies and crafts (ok, mostly just cookies...).
Bellamy was not so interested in Santa this year. In her defense, she was fighting a case of strep throat that week and probably wasn't really on her game anyway. She was SO excited while we stood in line to wait. Here I was attempting to get a cute picture in the trees, but instead I got this. Still cute, just not quite what I had in mind...they were just too excited to get to Santa to care about giving me a good pic.
Then it was our turn to actually sit with Santa and it was downhill from there...
But Will wasn't going to miss an opportunity to let Santa know exactly what he wanted. As usual, he let Santa in on some requests that he hadn't told us about...
Yep, not a Santa fan this year. Better luck next time...
For now we'll just stick to hanging out with big brother. I love the way she is looking at him in this picture. I want to freeze their relationship as it is right now -- they absolutely adore each other.
On to other holiday festivities -- Gingerbread house making! It was so funny to see the difference between Bellamy and Will's sides of the house -- and I bet you can guess which one sparkled more. :)
And learning how to make pretzels with Grandma...
A little light looking time is always good to get you in the spirit.
It was certainly a merry Christmas at our house and I hope you can say the same. Love you all and hope to see you soon!
