Preview of our photo shoot, "Waiting on Baby"

A week ago we had our family/maternity photo shoot. This was the photo shoot we won from the contest our photographer put us in. So I have to thank all of our friends and family on Facebook that voted for us and shared our picture. Our photographer is Amazing and captures some wonderful memories. We have only seen the preview so far and waiting on our cd of images. We are so pleased with the preview that we are so excited to see the other pictures.

Going to see Santa

Every year we go to Bass Pro to see Santa. This year we had been talking about Santa so much. The past 2 years Colton cried and was not a fan of sitting on his lap. We told him how nice he was and how he knows how good he has been. Colton was ready to see Santa and sit on his lap! Jay & Shannon's little boy Jackson was there with us. We told Colton he had to show Jackson how fun it is to see Santa since Colton is older.

We wait in line and he starts to get anxious. He is starting to get upset and telling us no I don't want to see Santa!! We, well I try to talk to him about it and tell him how nice he is, and so on. Of course I want to get a Santa picture so we have one from every year. He's going down hill real fast and started to get upset. We are the next ones in line and Nope we are out of there. Cody wasn't happy with me trying to force him to go see him. So we watch Jackson see Santa and sit on his lap, but that still didn't make Colton want to go see him. We walked around and looked at him and I was able to get him as close as I could to take a pic. The entire time he kept looking over his shoulder like Santa was going to come and get him. Poor thing!! Why are kids so afraid of Santa? He's a cute old man, with a big belly, and a fluffy beard! Hopefully next year with Barret's first Christmas we will have a success with both boys!!

Decorating the Christmas tree

It's that time of year again, our favorite, Christmas!! We thought Colton was going to remember all the Christmas decorations, we were wrong! He didn't remember anything! He didn't remember the train either!! It was fun unpacking everything and setting the house up for Christmas and of course seeing his face and the excitement when we pulled decorations out! He enjoyed putting ornaments on the tree and we even let him put the angel on top. We had a wonderful night together as a family decorating and watching Christmas movies!!

A night out with friends at a wedding

At the beginning of December we attended a teacher I used to work with, her daughters wedding. It was such a gorgeous wedding. A Christmastime wedding with all the beautiful trees and lights are just magical. We went with my very best friend Jenn and her hubby Judd. The four of us had a great evening together and seeing so many old teacher friends we used to work with. They had a photo booth and of course we all had a lot of fun with that.
