I think that Jason would agree with me when I say, Christmas just gets better and better for us each year as Jake (and Tyler) gets older and more excited for Santa. This year Jake really "got" what Christmas was, and his anticipation really made the whole month of December a lot of fun.
Jake was so excited to visit Santa this year and hand-deliver his letter of his
"requests". Tyler was surprisingly also excited to see Santa, as smiley and happy as ever!
Jake had a Christmas program and party at his school, along with a visit from Santa! It was very fun to see him with all of his school buddies, and all of his teachers - especially his favorite Mrs. Murray.
Winter Wonderlights is a great outdoors light trail at the Wildlife Museum near our house. Our good friends The Watsons joined us this year, and of course Jake & Grace had so much fun seeing all of the different animal lights - and even petting a real life reindeer!
Christmas Eve was a great day for us, Jake and I made cookies for Santa and then we went to Church with Jason's sister Rachelle and her husband Tony. We had a very fun night, and both boys got to open one present before going to bed.
Christmas morning was so much fun, once we finally woke both boys up at 7:45am to begin the day! :) Jake was so excited to see that Santa had come, and we think Tyler was just very excited to finally be able to rip and crinkle all of the wrapping paper.
Christmas evening we were lucky enough to spend with Jason's parents in Windsor, and we had a very nice time celebrating once again. It was great to see Jason's Dad, Brian, since he had just had major surgery - but he looked so good and is such a strong man.
We had such a wonderful Holiday season, and can't thank all of our family and friends for helping us make it even better. Jake has already started making his list for Santa for next year! :)
