Fun Christmas Festivities!!

our sweet lil family

We have been busy as of late enjoying lots of fun Christmas festivities...yes, Christmas, not Holiday festivities ~ isn't the reason of the season for Jesus?

We have had a blast (and busy) past few weeks enjoying this first Christmas season with our sweet baby boy. Last weekend we started off the weekend Friday night in downtown with some of our neighbors at Winter Wonderland. This fun venue brings the entire town together and they bring in snow for sledding, sample snow boarding, etc ...along with lots of fun little vendors with all their fun crafty gifts, Santa & Mrs. Claus was there along with lots more! We had a blast and although Braden was snuggle in his stroller he loves just looking around and enjoying the lights & seeing all the people!

Saturday was our best friends annual Christmas Party (pic above is from party) and this party is not just your ordinary party...my girlfriend goes to town from decorations to all her elaborate dishes, etc...there were 30 kiddos there and they all had a blast together! I was telling our friends that this is an event that all the kiddos are going to have a blast at together and will be one of the highlights of their Christmas season! I know it is something that Jesse & I look forward to all year long!! We left there and headed to our local Candy Cane Lane for the tail end of the festivities there ~ was fun to see all the lights, but definitely is more fun if we had gotten there earlier!

We celebrated with both our families this past past week as we are going to be celebrating Christmas Day together as just our little family. As you see below Braden is one happy little boy! We were able to squeeze a stop at our dear friends the Harrington's and we joined them for a fun Christmas light outing and it was fun getting to catch up with them.
They are like family to us and we look forward to our boys growing up together!!
