Boy this holiday snuck up on us so fast. We were able to travel for Thanksgiving but the doctor's orders were no travelling after 32 weeks (December 14th). So we had our Christmas here with some of Dad's family. Uncle Steve, Grandpa and Grandma P and of course the three of us!!
Before they arrived, we tried a few "Santa dates" to get LV familiar with the big guy and the holiday. The first weekend of December, we went to our favorite train museum and had breakfast with Santa. Two weeks later, the local Knights of Columbus sponsored their Breakfast with Santa. LV wasn't too overly enthusiastic about it even though Santa arrived on a fire truck (Mom thought that was cool). Sometimes he just is really cranky and not in a social mood on Saturdays! The picture posted is with the Breakfast with Santa through the KNights of Columbus.
As for the Christmas holiday, we mixed up the meals by going out to eat a few times and cooking at home. On Christmas Eve, we went to the Children's Mass then headed to Ray's on the River. Christmas Day, we did our traditional frying of a big turkey which I think everyone enjoyed. It was a good time. LV enjoyed his new presents which included a dinosaur, firetruck, car transporter from Santa. His relatives got him a Vtech game and a car that actually runs when you "shake" it. (From Uncle Jim and Aunt Chelsa). So LV enjoyed the variety of gifts this year from both Santa and family. Uncle Steve got him the airplane ride-on toy which he enjoyed outside right away because we did have really nice weather for the Christmas Holiday (in the 60s and 70s!).
