We took the boys to see Santa yesterday and they did great. Mac was not afraid at all. JL even added some new things to his list.

Picking out a Tree
We went to Thompson's Christmas Tree Farm last night to get our tree. It was a cold night, which was perfect for some hot apple cider and hot chocolate.
Gingerbread Christmas Tree
Today John Lawrence and I made a Gingerbread Christmas Tree. Maybe not the best, but 50 times better than the Gingerbread House from last year. I blogged about that one as well. It really got us in the mood to decorate the tree tonight.
PS-I bought this kit last year the day after xmas ($2.99). It is a year old and the tree part was hard as a rock and broke while I pulled them apart. Also, the icing was hard too, so not bad with what we had to work with. Next year I will know to buy fresh!!!!
PSS- Had to use school glue and Mod Podge to hold it together. Mason said "I guess we can't eat the candy off of it this year". I said who actually does that anyway. Then I forgot my mother-in-law Jan actually made everything from scratch when she did these for her kids when the were young. So no no do not eat the candy!!!!

Cricket is Here
JL took this picture~
He was so excited that Cricket came back.
Cricket came to live at our house (for the first time) last year the day after Thanksgiving and stays until Christmas Eve night. The other part of the year he lives at the North Pole with Santa Claus.
He is a big deal in our house! Every night he flies to the North Pole to tell Santa Claus if we were good or bad that day and returns home before the boys wake up and moves to a new spot.
The boys have so much fun looking for him. It is the first thing John Lawrence thinks about when he wakes up. Mac has already caught on as well. This year JL not only thinks about himself, but also about me.
EVERY time I discipline him now he reminds me that Cricket is watching and that I am being mean and Santa will find out. He truly talks to Cricket and tells him what happened and why he does certain things.
It is so cute and let me tell you, JL is on his best behavior in the month of December.
This is a family tradition and I love it!!!
2nd Birthday party
Mac turns two!
Mac turned two on November 29th and we celebrated a week early at my house with family. Mac's favorite thing was his birthday cake. He had a great day!
