We are all getting very excited about Christmas coming up in less than 2 weeks! Last Thursday we went to Lowe's and picked out our tree! It's been our tradition to get it there since mine and Kurt's first married Christmas together 5 years ago! Jack helped us pick it out, too, and he especially loved running up and down the rows of trees playing! :-) He also loved watching the workers clean up the bottom of the tree with the chainsaw!
We tied the tree on top of the car, then picked up a pizza (to continue our tree decorating and pizza eating tradition started last year), then headed home to get started! Jack loved putting ornaments on the tree, plus playing with the other decorations we have for the house!
Sunday we finally got to go see Santa at Bass Pro Shop. Jack had been asking for days, so we finally took him. The line was extremely long, but we knew it wouldn't take too long, plus it would be worth it. Well, 2.5 hours later, we finally saw Santa! Thank goodness for all the fun around the store to keep Jack occupied for that long! Once Jack got in his lap, he loved him! He asked him for candy for Christmas, then looked right at the camera for the picture! He didn't smile, but still looked very sweet.
When we got home it was time to make Christmas cookies!! We let Jack help stir the batter, plus cut out shapes with our new cookie cutters! Too bad something went wrong with the batter and the shapes didn't turn out right, but we still made do with regular drop cookies! We even added red and green icing and sprinkles to make them more festive!
Here is a video!
