On Christmas Eve, Rob and I took the kids to the Woodlands Church to have a little Christmas fun and remember the true meaning of Christmas. Just as we were getting out of the car, a few snow flurries began to fall. Allie and I thought it was a Christmas miracle! Luckily since that tiny bit of snow was not going to stick, the church had brought in a bunch of snow for the kids to play in. It was really cool to be able to experience a snowy Christmas Eve here in Texas. We also took Colton in to see Santa. I was really glad he was there, because with all the hustle and bustle, I had not had a chance to take him to sit on Santa's lap yet. Colton was so cute and excited! He was so brave and walked up there all by himself and climbed on his lap. We were the only ones in line at that time, so Santa was able to visit with Colton for a while before we had to leave. Allie stuck to her guns and refused to take a picture with him(she had already warned me that she would not be taking a picture with Santa this year). She told me quietly so that Colton wouldn't hear that she knew for sure that was not the real Santa, because he was already delivering presents...We had checked out the NORAD track earlier and found out that he was in Scandinavia! We had a lot of fun and went home for a yummy dinner before watching some Christmas movies until bedtime! Colton fell fast asleep, but it took Allie a while....she really wanted to stay up and catch a glimpse of the big man himself ;O)
Allie's Letter that she left for Santa with her cookies....and he wrote a letter back!
The Stockings were hung by the chimney with care!
Our banister all decked out for Christmas Morning!(With Allie's coat hanging on the end)
Our tree without a single present(Colton kept opening them!)
Colton decided to get into the snuggly with his sister!
Allie found my snuggly to be a cozy place to read her Christmas book!
Remembering the true meaning of Christmas!
Reminds me of the photo from last year.
Making real Snow Angels!
The wind was blowing hard and it was FREEZING!!!
Allie thinking about throwing a snowball at me!
She decided she better throw it somewhere else :o)
After seeing her brother getting up close and personal with all the characters, Allie decided to make her mother happy and pose with at least one!
Colton with his pal Santa!
Thinking about what he wants....A Choo Choo Train!
Hello Santa!
What a big boy...he wasn't even scared to go up by himself!
Colton decided that Rudolph was okay because Mommy had a picture of him on her shirt. There was an elf there, but he thought that one was a bit creepy!
My pride and joys!
Me and my boy!
Waiting until time to see Santa!
