Pre Christmas Fun

Santa 2014

 

Our Church has a breakfast with Santa. Last year Carson screamed his head off! This year I was not sure how his visit with the big man would go. Big brothers didn't want to come, so Bryan and I took Carson to have some breakfast and visit Santa.

 

 

He sat, ate his breakfast and colored until his name was called. There was a couple of children ahead of him and I whispered in his ear "if you sit on Santa's lap, you get a candy cane" Carson LOVES candy!! When it was his turn, with mamas help he visited with Santa. Carson didn't say too much but did tell Santa that he wanted a dump truck for Christmas.

Carson was a very good sport, but as soon as Santa handed him his candy cane, he was done and ready to be back with his mama and daddy! I hope he gets that dump truck for Christmas! I told Carson while we were waiting that next Christmas he will have a buddy to tag along with him and he can show him/her the ropes!

 

 The weekend of Bryan's Birthday we decided to make a trip to Charlotte. We wanted to do several things: Look at a SUV for Bryan that he saw online, visit Ginger Bread Lane, and go look at some area Christmas Lights. We did end up getting the SUV, that process didn't take long at all! Next stop was to Ginger Bread Lane.
Best of all this was FREE! You walk thru all the contest entries and the entries are just amazing. We had not done our houses yet, so it was fun getting some ideas.

                          Landon being a teen decided to stay at home, so I just had my Peyton & Carson for the day of fun!

 

 

Carson loves to play with our wooden soldiers at our home, so he was in aww when he say this giant fellow!

A Frozen Gingerbread house!

 

 

At each one Carson would say "I want to eat it!"

 

This was one of our family favorites!

 

Next Stop was Christmas Town USA!

We got to McAdenville pretty early, so we parked grabbed a snack and was ready to roll at 5:30 on the dot when the lights come on. We ended up sitting in stand still traffic for about 45 minutes, which was crazy since we got up to the town so early!

 

We finally got to go and ride thru the 1.5 mile stretch, We would like to go back but it will be on a week night.

 

After sitting in the car so long Peyton was thrilled to FINALLY see the lighted sign! He wanted his face in the photo!

 

Carson's favorites was spotting Santa & getting to be loose in the car!

It was a long fun and productive day. We finally made it home by 10:00pm Bryan and I were tired, however making family memories is totally worth it!
