Santa Claus is COMING TO TOWN

He's coming to our house!!!! And our house is decorated inside and out... he can't miss us!
Ty is a Christmas light freak. which I love. he did such a good job this year on our house (he already can't wait to add to it once the lights go on clearance after Christmas).
This pic doesn't do it any justice though... you cant tell what the cute little things in the windows are and its kind of a big blur!

 

Can I say how mad I am that I forgot to take pics of the kids Christmas lists!!! I don't even have everything on their lists memorized....hopefully Santa pulls through this year because this mama is bound to forget something. All I remember is that their lists are so long I had to give some things to grandma and grandpa...Santa can't bring that much SHEESHHH. Maybe its a good thing I can't remember it all.       

 

Parx list (to the best of my memory): Beyblades..2 to be exact. A beyblade arena and case. Some book that apparently he isn't getting because I dunno what it is. Fishing blanket. Pokémon cards. Hexbugs.

 

Bridger's list: Batman imaginex toy, 1 beyblade and a case, I think a book too, remote control truck, hunting blanket..uhhh??? I think Pokémon cards. Hexbugs. Bridger copies what Parx wants for the most part.

 

Max's list: An inside basketball hoop and ball...sippy cups...the end.

 

Oh Max...he had the best time of his life putting Santa together on the window.

 

See how proud he is?? and Santa's body parts are in just the right places.  

 

Christmas cookies part 1...

A little goof ball in the Santa hat meant for baby #4

 

We kicked off the season just right 2 weeks ago by going to the agriculture holiday parade! Tractors, fire trucks, and floats with Christmas lights all over them... a boys dream! We saw a ton of Santas...Parx is getting smarter now...he kept saying things like, "that is definitely not Santa you can see his black beard under the white one."  And Max kept saying, "horse" "Santa" "tractor" "candy" and everthing else we would see! By the end we couldn't feel our feet...it was COLD.

side note: we braved this parade without dad and everyone is still alive!

 

 

 

 

To the lot we went... we have no time this year to get anywhere cool to chop down a tree.  The first 2 weekends of December are WAY too crazy and we couldn't wait till after that... the tree must go up! So cheers to the best pics I could get of all 3 kids by the tree... 

 

Decorating the tree is my favorite thing to do! We drink hot chocolate and reminisce about our funny ornaments from the previous years.  We only had 4 casualties with max this year (so far) too. Score. He really enjoys decorating and redecorating...so far he doesn't care about the presents underneath!

 

 

 

SANTA PICS! Santa was at Lowes when we went to build a Christmas train. It was perfect! We even were lucky enough to have Grandma and Papa Johnston at our house to see Santa with us!!!!  

 

Max LOVES all things santa... he says santa and gets so excited all the time!

Not so much the real living breathing kind though.

He got just close enough to grab his candy cane and he was outta there!
