Colson Visits Santa

We took Colson to visit Santa at the Bass Pro Shop this year.  They have some really fun games and activities for the kids and of course, Santa!  Colson walked right up to Santa, jumped on his lap and told him he wants Chuggington for Christmas.  Then, he smiled really big for a great picture.  We were so proud of him!  After getting his candy cane from Santa, Colson and daddy enjoyed some of the games.  We had such a fun time!  Ho! Ho! Ho!


Our House at Christmas

I wanted to give everyone a little peek into our home this Christmas!  Caleb did such a great job on the lights outside!  So here is our home at Christmas in pictures.....the tree, mantel with stockings, and some other Christmasy stuff! Enjoy!!!





Christmas Time is Here!!!

Wow!  It has been a long time since my last post!  All is well here in Mississippi!  We are very excited for Christmas!  This past weekend we were so blessed that Chrysta, Oma, PawPaw and Charity got to spend the weekend with us!  We had so much fun celebrating Christmas with Chrysta.  (Phillip joined us via Skype!)  It was great having them join us for worship on Sunday as well.  We did lots of fun Christmas activities while they were here!  Chrysta got here on Friday, so that night we went to a local church that was hosting a live nativity.  It was so neat to see the Christmas story really come alive.  Colson enjoyed seeing all of the animals and of course, baby Jesus.  There was even a camel there, and it REALLY liked Caleb! Once the others arrived on Saturday, we made a gingerbread house, enjoyed homemade white chocolate frozen hot chocolate, and exchanged gifts with Chrysta!









It has been so fun to tell Colson all about the Christmas story.  He is very interested in all of the details this year!  We have a Little People Nativity set that Colson absolutely loves.  One morning while I was making breakfast, I was listening to him play, and overheard him saying, "the angel said, "don't be afraid!"".   It was such a precious moment.

Colson enjoyed a really fun Christmas party at his Mother's Morning Out class.  They had snacks, Santa came, and they gave their parents a gift they had made.  It is the sweet little handprint pictured below.  We are thankful Colson enjoys his "school" so much!





We hope everyone is enjoying this Christmas season as much as we are!  More Christmas updates to follow!!!  (I am WAY behind!)......
