Getting ready for the Jolly Old Man in a Red Suit

A couple days before Christmas, Caden woke up from his nap and heard Layne outside shoveling snow. He popped up and said, "Daddy outside, I need to go help him." So away he went to the great outdoors. Instead of shoveling snow, my boys built snowmen. They built a little one for our neighbors peeking out behind a bush and two in our yard--Caden was very proud of their work!

The snowmen in progress!

More snow daddy!

Their work of art!

That night, the fun of getting ready for Santa took place. Santa came a day early to our house since we were gone on Xmas Eve. We took the kids out to look at lights and then to Georgetown Street where they have several Santa's and Elves that come to the car to greet you and bring you treats. Since this Santa came right to our van, and had TREATS--Caden did shake Santa's hand and happily took a treat--but I did not have my camera.
We then went home to get the house ready for Santa...

Food for Santa's reindeer--and a cheesy grin!

Might as well just dump it all in one spot.

Brynn and Daddy supervising from the door.

Cookies and milk for Santa.
--a little preview of that morning---we thought when Caden came out and saw all the presents that he would go straight for the gifts, but instead he went and looked over the empty plate and said, "Daddy ate them all gone!" Smart little booger--we did get back into being vert happy about Santa's presents though!

Hanging Santa's Magic Key so he can get into our house.

And just for fun--the Parry siblings making tortilla roll-ups for Christmas Eve.
Thanks for coming up for the fun Aunt Kristi!
