December was a very busy month for us and sometimes it went by really fast and other times it didn't go by fast enough. Tyler was really into Santa this year so it was hard to understand that he came at the end of the month, so we made a chain to count down the days.

Tyler helped decorate the tree and Brayden helped take the ornaments off. Can't say that it was all his idea, Tyler didn't really understand why Christmas decorations were to look at and not play with so many times the ornaments such as Rudolph came off to play with the super heroes!

Are tree all lit up.....

we did a lot of fun activities. LB, Eli and I took the kids to see Santa at the Bass Pro Shops. Brayden was not fond of Santa, only from a distance! He loves to see pictures and say "Santa...HO, HO, HO" but that's it! The Bass Pro Shops have a huge fish tank that the boys LOVED!

They had tons of stuff for the kids to do. They had video games, shooting games, a snowball cage..

Tyler thought it was so much fun throwing them at dad!

and Eli too...

The gymnastics place I work at also had a Christmas holiday party where the kids got to jump and play and do pinatas and see Santa too. They really had a good time!

Tyler telling Santa all he wants for Christmas is the Spider man Car!
