Photo Op - Day 125

It cracks me up how quickly her expression changes.  Still so stinkin cute, I wanna bite her.

Christmas Tree

Nicholas has his own tree that we put in his room.  This is the first year he has really taken an interest in decorating it.  We had to adjust his tree a couple of times to keep it from falling over.  In case you didn't notice, he favored one side of the tree more than the other.  Still a good looking tree and uniquely Nicholas for sure.  Can't wait to get Abby one next year!

Santa Train

This was our first year doing the Santa train. Mommy's dropped the ball the last 2 years and was always too late. But not this year. Told you we were on top of things.  Nicholas loves all things Christmas and this was no exception.  I love his enthusiasm.  He gamely lead the car to a song of "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" without hesitation.  I've attached a video, although I wish you could he him singing on it.  Scott said you could really hear him where he was and that Nick was really into it.

Abby did not joining us this year, but she'll be ready next year.  I think she would have torn that train apart or worn us out at the very least.  Thanks to my family for watching our little squirt.

Ready to get rolling.

My cousin and his family joined us for ride.

Fayetteville Square

Lights of the Ozark.  Nicholas loved looking at the lights.  It's such a nice little tradition to have every year.


Not sure what to think about the reindeer.



Pictures with Santa!

We were on top of it this year. We got the kids' picture w/ Santa early so that we could use them as our Christmas card. We've cut it very close on our visits previous years, waiting until a few days before Christmas.  Abby wasn't too thrilled about the whole situation. If you look closely you can see the tears welling up in her eyes.
