Christmas Fun

We have been able to do quite a few fun Christmas activities this season. We have visited Santa several times, gone to a few holiday parties, gone to Lights Under Louisville, made Christmas ornaments etc. It has been a pretty fun Christmas season and we have enjoyed spending time with our family and friends.

This was our first visit with Santa. Surprisingly, Preston was not scared of Santa at all and walked right up to him. He gave him high fives and some fist bumps and then started to explore the Santa area. Of course, you can't take your own pictures and the photography people were having all sorts of technical issues. This resulted in not getting any good pictures with Preston having a pleasant expression. This picture was taken after sitting in Santa's lap for over two minutes. Preston was not scared, but tired of sitting! =)

Prospect had a small Christmas celebration a couple of weeks ago. The weather was pretty yucky, so the parade was cancelled, but we still got to see Santa and get some balloons. Evan was really excited to see Santa and ran up to him and gave him a HUGE hug! Preston was pretty happy too and even pointed to Santa and said, "Santa!" This was pretty cool, since he had not ever said that word before.

Our country club hosted a breakfast with Santa this year and so we took the boys, Bonnie Mom, Grandpa, and Caroline. We had tons of fun playing and eating and we got to see Santa one more time!

Carl and I thought the food was just alright, but Preston LOVED it!

This is one of the only good pictures that we were able to get with Preston and Santa. I love it!

I was able to attend Evan's Christmas party at school and I was very grateful to be able to do so. He and his friends had made fun crafts during the first part of the day and ended the day watching The Polar Express and having LOTS of treats!

We thought we may have to skip Lights Under Louisville this year, but we managed to squeeze it in! Preston was excited to see the lights this year and of course, Evan always loves it! He sat in my lap during the ride and we had lots of fun seeing the lights and hearing the songs.

We had our annual Keeling Family Christmas party this weekend and it was loads of fun. It is always fun to get together with friends and family. Of course, we missed Heather, Jackson and Josh VERY much.
