Christmas is here

The Christmas celebrations have begun. St. Nick came. There were certainly doubts from both the boys and Mom and Dad. Cole and Henry actually got letters from Santa recently that said they were on the Nice List and Cole said, "I can't believe it."

The St. Nick showing seemed a little weak this year though. I feel like their St. Nick is usually more like how I remember my Christmases. They didn't seem to notice though. 

We also tried to get on the Polar Express again this year, but tickets were sold out. So instead of just looking at that as a nice savings, we decided to start a new tradition of Limo and Lights (with the Heerey's). We rented a limo and drove around to the MillerCoors light show, Candy Cane Lane and Country Springs Christmas. We also stopped for dinner at Baker's Square. Surprisingly we were the only limo there. I think next year maybe we expand it to more families and just go for the party bus.

Dressed and ready to go.

 

The kids seemed to like the limo best

Cole had a Christmas singing thing at Barnes and Noble

If you couldn't find him.

We played in the snow, built a fire, drank some hot chocolate and watched a couple Christmas movies...at times standing up.

We also went to Breakfast with Santa at Motor (the Harley Davidson museum restaurant).

And there was this. Not a holiday celebration, but awesome. Watch the video (also at bottom of the blog if this doesn't work).
