Christmas Fun!

We spent the last weekend doing all kinds of fun Christmasy stuff!

On Friday we went to the Festival Of Lights.  It was really amazing!  I have never been there so I thought it was just going to just be a light show.  Boy, was I wrong!  They had all kinds of activities!  Here is Jingles from the Magic Show.

The kids loved the show!

Oliver loved the indoor train.  And Claire loved the responsibility of taking him for the ride.

Then Oliver saw Mrs. Frosty.  He has been loving Frosty lately so when he saw Mrs. Frosty he ran right up to her!

He is my little Christmas buddy.  He insisted on wearing his Santa hat the whole time.

The kids loved seeing Santa again.  Claire was all business but Oliver wanted to just chat away.  Here he is asking who the stocking on the mantle belongs to.  He kept saying "Whose stockings?!  Day the elves?!"

But we did get him to focus for a picture.

Claire loved the 3D house (once we realized the her glasses were too big and had to be smushed to her face in order to work).

 Daddy thought it was pretty cool too.

 We loved strolling through the Christmas Tree Forest.  

Afterward we stopped to eat and the kids were beat!  Claire kept asking us how late it was.  We told her is was super late and was pumped.  She felt so cool staying up waayyy past her bedtime!

On Saturday we went to Aunt Diane's for Jenna's birthday.  The kids had a blast playing with dinosaurs and trains.

Then they heard some bells and rushed to the door to see if it was Santa.

The kids loved reading with Grandma!

And they all loved reading with Mark.

 On Sunday we went to Chestnut Ridge to enjoy the Christmas festivities.    The line to see Santa was ridiculously long and Claire said "We don't need to see Santa.  We already saw him twice.  Let's do the craft and get a snack."  She is so logical.  Here we are enjoying a lunch of pizza and hot chocolate.

The kids loved "decorating cookies".

They did a great job.

We even got a nice family picture.

I also got a chance to take a few pictures of my girl.  She looks so pretty in red.

Oliver was too busy to pose for me.  But he still looks handsome.

I tried to get my chickens together.  

Cheeseballs.

I love these faces so much!!!!

We are having so much fun doing all these Christmasy things.  I am already getting sad that Christmas is getting so close!!!  I don't want it to be over!!!!!
