Breakfast with Santa and Preparing for Christmas

Today was a really fun morning! We took the kids to Lindsay's school (Colby's old school) for breakfast with Santa. This is a tradition we began with Colby but we missed last year. We took him when he was 2, then Austin took him the next year when he was 3 but Lindsay wasn't even a week old so I missed it. Last year we missed it b/c it fell the same day as Lindsay's party. Anyway it was a lot of fun this year! The kids are at such great ages to enjoy Christmas! Lindsay was really into it and honestly I was kind of shocked...Colby actually acted more shy then she did! Although she still refused to sit on Santa's lap. We saw several friends, teachers there as well which was fun!
After the breakfast we had a few errands to run to get ready for the kids Christmas parties. It was fun just going out and running errands as a family. We are also enjoying our Advent Calendar. This year we are really trying to focus on Christ and helping people and also enjoying time together as a family. We are tying Santa, the elf, our countdown calendar all into this activity! Each day we have a different message from the elf. Some of the activities are doing things for others, others are silly things we do, etc. Its given Colby something to look forward to each day!
We have enjoyed our quiet weekend together as a family. Last weekend was so busy its been nice to chill out around the house! I can't believe there is only 1 more weekend until Christmas!
