It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone. We are so thankful for some much and feel so blessed in so many ways. For us, it doesn't take too long for things to start to feel a lot like Christmas.

Chris and I set out for Black Friday shopping at about 4 AM on Friday and we had a very fun and successful shopping trip.

Then on Saturday, Grandma Kathy took me and the boys to the Festival of Trees Teddy Bear Picnic. It was such a great time! After the picnic we took in the sights and sounds to the festival of trees. If all of that doesn't get you in the Christmas spirit, I don't know what will!

We finished off our Saturday by decorating our Christmas tree and getting out all of our holiday gear. The boys loved it! Of course we spent the rest of the weekend trying to get them not to break anything but they love it all and I love to see them enjoying it!

Here are some pictures from our adventures.......

Getting ready for the Teddy Bear Picnic
Carver was thrilled to see Spiderman at the picnic, he practically stalked him the whole afternoon but it was so much fun for him. :)
Mommy enjoying some time with her boys at the picnic. What a wonderful opportunity to have some fun Christmas fun with them. Thanks Grandma!!
Carver was really enjoying himself. I just thought that this picture was pretty cute. Yeah, he's still doing the Spiderman hands. He just loves that guy!

And it wouldn't feel like Christmas without the boys making their first trip to see Santa. Kayden was a little unsure but he was okay sitting on Santa's lap and thanks to a brave big brother he thought he'd give it a shot!

Look at those cute boys! I need a Santa list for some toy ideas... I know they have everything under the sun but I want to get them a couple things for Christmas. It is nice to have a job this year:)

You are such a good commenter!! The only one but hey! The boys would love anything that you got them. They still use the bath crayons that you sent Carver a couple of years ago, maybe some new bath crayons or bath toys. Carver absolutely loved those wooden stacking blocks that you sent for his 1st Birthday but one of them has since broken, I bet Kayden would love those or something like that.
