This weekend was awesome and so needed. Saturday morning we went to Helper and had breakfast with Santa. Kota obviously wasn't diggin it but Braden has always loved Santa. They both got a bag full of candy and Braden almost finished his by the time we got home LOL Then we made sugar cookies with cutouts and decorated them with colored frosting. They were both big helpers, although Kota took a fall off the bar stool :( But with a few loves and kisses she was good to go. Then me and the kids decorated the house and put the Christmas tree, all while listening to Christmas music...my favorite thing to do this time of year. Next we had a quick dinner and went to the light parade. It was FREEZING cold but so fun. The kids loved all the floats and got tonz more candy. When it was over we had parked in the perfect spot so we turned on the heater, a radio station playing christmas music and enjoyed the fireworks. When we got home we watched The Santa Clause 2, also one of my favorites.
I always used to love the holidays when I was little, especially while my little brother and sister believed in Santa. But making traditions and having fun during the holidays with my own kiddos is so special and I am loving every minute of it. Saturday we didn't turn the TV on once, until that night with the movie of course. We had so much fun making a mess with cookies, wrestling, running, dancing, decorating, and freezing out butts off. Sunday we spent the whole day together too and such a great weekend for Mom :) Not that I didn't appreciate my kids before, but working more has definitely taken my want and appreciation for spending time with my kids to whole new level. I look forward to my time with them and soak them up during our lazy days. So far the Christmas season is awesome at our house!!! Merry Christmas everyone....hope you're having fun too.
