Breakfast with Santa at Baby Camp:
Making silly faces while waiting for Santa
Aiden is waiting to talk to Santa (the one in the red vest)
Court kept a safe distance from Santa and hung back for selfies with Mom. He was very interested in Santa but didn’t think it safe to get close.
Singing songs with Santa
We convinced Court to pose for a photo with Santa as long as we used Aiden as a buffer. The look on Court’s face says not to trust that man with the beard.
Gingerbread houses with Grandma Wolford:
I convinced Grandma to help make gingerbread houses with the boys and me. Once I saw the mess we were making I was SO glad to have a second set of hands!! By the end, both boys were just squirting icing straight into their mouths – hilarious!
Court and Grandma’s house
Aiden and Mama’s house
Dinner with the youth:
The youth group that Scott and Dave led a few years ago came to our house for a little reunion and dinner. There are all Sophomores in college now and such a wonderful group of young people. And man oh man, do those girls spoil my boys rotten!!!
Christmas with the Williams family:
The Sunday before Christmas, Bub and Pop hosted Pop’s side of the family at their mountain house. It was so great to see all the cousins playing so well together. Here are A and C playing with Dalton, Remedy, and Peyton.
Peyton just jumped right in to play with the boys new power tools!
The Polar Express:
I wanted to take Aiden and Court to ride the Polar Express at the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad in Bryson City, TN. We even convinced Bub, Pop, and Kimmie to join!
The boys got golden tickets just like in the book to ride the train
They took us through a whole town beautifully decorated like the North Pole with Santa Claus, Rudolph’s house, the post office where all the letters to Santa come, Mr. and Mrs. Claus’ house, etc. It was so well done!
We all wore pajamas – even Big One!
Court LOVED the hot chocolate!
And spilled said hot chocolate all over his shirt 🙂
Santa even made an appearance on the train.
I was shocked that Court spoke with Santa and even took a sleigh bell from him without hiding behind me. He was braver than he thought he could be!
