Bennett 10 Weeks

My little (well not so little) man is growing so fast! 

Santa Flying at Country Village

Waiting for Santa to fly!

Dustin, Olivia and Shelbi

Last year we took Hudson to see Santa fly at Country Village and he had no interest all. This year he was so excited! He wanted to follow Santa when he landed to go tell him that he really wants a big Buzz Lightyear for Christmas. John took him on hunt through the crowd to find Santa and put in his request. He talked about it the whole way home. I guess it was worth the terrible parking, large crowds, half hour wait for coffee and cold night for the 5 minute show. Nothing like seeing Christmas through the eyes of your child.

Santa 2008

Santa 2009

Santa 2010

The 2008 is my favorite because it is Hudson's first Christmas, he is my first born and he looks just like me on my first Christmas in that picture. The 2009 photo is classic. They took quite a few and I had to have that one. This year is perfect because both of my boys are in it. I can't wait to have 18 years of Santa photos framed and displayed at Christmas. Yes, I said 18 years. I plan to pay them to participate in this tradition if needed. I did learn a thing or two from my mom...

Preschool Class Photo

I couldn't love a preschool more. It's funny how Hudson and I both really look forward to Tuesdays and Fridays. Teacher Betsy, the kids and the moms are all fabulous! I can't wait for little Bennett to go to school here too!

Santa Train

The Santa train was a success...Hudson sat on Santa's lap! Yes...I never thought it would happen and it did. He wouldn't look up at the camera, but he sat there with Bennett, talked to Santa and didn't cry!

Santa Weekend

Hudson and Bennett ready to meet Santa!

Last weekend we took the boys to see Santa at Chapters Photography. If you live in the area and have small children this is the absolute BEST place to take them to see Santa. You get an appointment (so no waiting in line), a private room with Santa, a fabulous looking Santa and setting and best of all a patient and talented photographer. Despite the fact that Hudson didn't want to sit on the big guys lap we got a great picture with him in a fire truck in front and Bennett on his lap. We also rode the Santa train in North Bend this weekend and this time Hudson decided that Santa wasn't so bad. We finally got a few pictures of both boys on his lap. It was a very successful Santa weekend. Now Hudson is asking to go see Santa again!
