This year getting ready for Christmas isn't just wrapping and shipping boxes, but packing them too. I was shocked the other day when Scott told me we will be moving in two weeks. How did it come so fast? We have a busy few weeks ahead of us, but we're still squeezing in all the usual holiday parties and fun.
The Bass Pro Shop near our house has been a favorite Christmastime tradition since we moved to Texas. They create an awesome Santa's Wonderland in their store with free crafts, activities, and a picture with Santa.
Last Monday for family night we took Boston there. He was excited and nervous to see Santa. Not nervous in a scared way, but nervous in a star-struck way. He was worried he was going to forget what he wanted to say to Santa. He had this cute nervous/excited/concerned look on his face when we were getting in the car and asked me if I could help him remember what he was going to tell Santa he wanted.
He didn't end up needing help though once he got up there. It was adorable. He told Santa he wanted a bike, a dragon shirt, and Batman powers. (I finally found a dragon shirt. Thank you Walmart. It's ugly, but that's OK because it will make Boston happy since it has dragons on it.)
We got a real Christmas tree again this year. Boston loved picking it out, and he couldn't wait to decorate it.
We got home too late Saturday night from picking the tree out, so Boston had to wait all the way until we got home from church the next day to decorate it.
He was especially excited to get on daddy's shoulders and put the star on.
Getting out the Christmas box means we have one more box to pack back up now, but it's well worth it, especially since Boston was so excited about it.
Boston looks so cute and happy in this picture. :) We finished decorating the tree just in time to sit down and watch the First Presidency Christmas devotional. It was a fun Christmasy Sunday.
We've scheduled our final walk through for our house a week from today, and we get the keys to our house the day after Christmas. Crazy!
