Christmas Festivities


We had a lot of fun this year with our pre-Christmas festivities.  We tried to do as much as possible to get into the Christmas spirit.  Brooklyn is at such a fun age to do these types of things and McKay seemed to really enjoy them as well.  We started off by Brooklyn and I going to the Nutcracker Jr. and Clara's Tea Party with our friends Kaylie and Hallie.  We went last year as well and Brooklyn couldn't wait to go again.  The girls had such a blast.








The next day Brooklyn had her preschool Christmas Program.  She did such a great job singing all of her songs.  They were all so cute.

Then on Saturday we had breakfast with Santa at the Banbury Golf Club.  Tiffany and her kids, Missy and baby Brinley, my mom and Grandma LeAnn all went to visit Santa.  We ate a yummy pancake breakfast and then sat on Santa's lap.  Brooklyn couldn't wait to give Santa her Christmas list, McKay on the hand couldn't run away from him fast enough.  Brooklyn even sang a few Christmas songs with a few kids at the breakfast.  After we hung out with Santa for awhile we headed back to my parents house to decorate sugar cookies.






The next week we headed out to Caldwell to check out the lights.  We had heard that they were good, but they were really good and free which makes it even better.  The weather was perfect, not too cold and McKay insisted on walking the whole way but both kids loved it.  We will definitely be going back next year.  We also went to the tree lighting ceremony in downtown Eagle.





We finished our pre-Christmas festivities with Craig and I going to the Nutcracker and Brooklyn and I making cookies for Santa.  It was so fun seeing the kids eyes light up as we did these different activities, I just hope that we also did enough for them to remember the true meaning of Christmas.
