Santa Baby

Nathan's birthday

Nathan turns 3 on Christmas Day so Tricia had a little birthday party for him this past weekend to celebrate the milestone. Nathan was so excited for his party - he loves Toy Story so it was a Woody and Buzz themed party.

James was really excited about the cupcakes!

Zoo Lights

The Denver Zoo puts on "Zoo Lights" every Christmas season so we decided to go this year with Cory, Jamie, and Kaylynn. Kaylynn and James had fun riding in the wagon, staying warm under lots of blankets. It was a really neat display and the kids loved the lights.

Charlie and I stayed nice and warm too!

Must Be Santa

Our attempt to see Santa yesterday was wildly unsuccessful and hilarious all at the same time! Charlie had doned his "Baby's 1st Christmas" onsie for the occasion which he completely soiled shortly after getting to the mall. Luckily, the matching hat and socks were not harmed in the explosion. Then he fell asleep in the line to see Santa. Sophie and James were very excited to see the jolly old man - even waving at him from the sidelines. However, that all changed when it was our turn to get near him. Both kids did not want anything to do with Santa. James melted down and clung to me for dear life. Since my 2-year-old would not even think about being in the picture I had paid for, I woke up Charlie and sat him on Santa's lap. The resulting photograph is actually pretty cute. We got a print so I am not able to post it here, but these are the pictures of us waiting to see Santa. Hopefully next year it goes better!!
