Our Family Christmas Weekend

We had lots of fun Christmas activities planned last weekend before we travel for Christmas!

Friday night we had our favorite babysitter come keep Bennett while Graham got to go on a special date with Mommy and Daddy!

 He got to pick dinner - Southwell's of course!

 And then we walked around the corner to the bakery to get a yummy cookie!

We headed to church for the Really Really Big Christmas Show!

 Looking at the trains!

 Such a big boy!

 He LOVED the show!  It was an amazing production!

We had such a fun night out!

And then we got home and got ready for Santa to come!  We always like to do our Santa gifts before we travel, but this is probably the last year we'll get away with it! :)

 Leaving out cookies and milk before bed.

And then Santa's elves got busy!

 The set-up!  Thankfully nothing was too difficult to put together!

 G's easel, clothes, trash truck, and art supplies.

 B's activity center, clothes, and some rattles in his stocking.

And the books were for both of them.

 G checking it all out on Saturday morning!

 A Barney DVD and coloring book in his stocking!

 And of course he had to see what Bennett got in his stocking! :)

 And he played with Bennett's toy for the majority of the day - go figure!

On Saturday afternoon we played Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus in 2 of the Christmas show performances.

Bennett slept soundly through the first one, and he was wide awake during the second show.  He just looked at the lights behind me and did great!

Thankfully we knew lots of people in the audience so friends kept texting me pictures that they took!

 Ready to go on!

On Sunday night we went to one of our favorite restaurants for our family Christmas celebration.  After dinner we drove around and looked at Christmas lights before coming home to open presents!

Such a fun weekend with my boys before a busy week of travelling for Christmas!
