Only 7 more Days til Christmas

Wow! Can you believe it? Only seven days tol Christmas. Are you all done with your Christmas shopping? Are your decorations up? I am happy to say I can answer yes to both of those questions. Although I have very few presents wrapped I am very happy at the thought that next week as we prepare for the holidays with family I can sit back and enjoy the season and not spend the days fighting people in the stores. I took the kids just before Thanksgiving to get their picture made with Santa Claus at the Haywood Mall.
They were very happy to see him and tell him what they wanted for Christmas. ALex told him he wanted a Santa figurine which made Santa so happy he wanted a hug.
Then Austin tld him he wanted a book and that made Santa very happy too.
My favorite one is the next one. I made our Christmas cards with this one.
We also we on our annual trip to Hollywild this past weekend. The boys had so much fun seeing the lights and animals. This year they had a camel, a buffalo, baby goats, reindeer, and even a baby zebra.
We fed as many of them as would eat but many of them seemed pretty full.
Alex had lots of fun feeding them but Austin was content with just watching. We always have so much fun it is a tradition we hope to continue for many years to come.
