Christmas Stuff

Well the last weekend was a great fun filled weekend. We started off by going to see the Zoo lights on Friday night. It was really fun even though it was really cold. The kids had a great time looking at all the animals (well the ones that were out) and looking at all the lights. I wanted to take them all summer and just never got the chance. I can't wait to take them when it is warm again. Braxtons favorite thing was the alligators. He thought they were so cool. We had to see them twice. He loved the reptile house. There were a lot more animals that were actually awake and moving in there. Cadence really didn't act like anything interested her. She just wanted to get out of the stroller but I wouldn't let her because it was so cold and I wanted to keep her wrapped up in a blanket. It was a great night and the kids passed out on the way home.
Saturday was a busy day. We slept in (of course) and then had to hurry and get ready to go to a family Christmas party. We ate some lunch and let the kids run around for a while then we all took turns and played some Christmas songs with bells.

Then Santa came. Braxton and my cousin Jaxon were standing by his chair as he walked around the room saying hello to everyone. I guess they wanted to make sure they were first in line. Braxton asked for toys. I was grateful he didn't ask for something specific because I was sure it would be something that I hadn't gotten him and then I would have to go buy it. Cadence was scared to death of Santa. I sat her on his lap and she started to panic and tried to climb back into my arms. It was kinda funny. She was willing to go back to him for a candy cane though. The storm came during the
party and it looked like a blizzard outside. Joe went to scrape off the car and was covered in snow. He looked like he had white hair. It was really funny. After the Christmas Party we went to my grandmas house to make gingerbread houses. Cadence fell asleep so Joe and I made hers. Braxton had tons of fun making his though. I just put the icing on it and let him have at it. He just kept adding more and more til I finally had to tell him that his house would collapse if he put anything else on it.
