December Happenings

A few here and there pictures from our December, pre-baby...

Decorating our Christmas tree after Thanksgiving and taking a snack break during decorating.

We took family/maternity pictures, went to the park, went to Illuminations at the Botanica Gardens and dinner all in one afternoon/night! This was all the Saturday after Thanksgiving and we got to Botanica right as they opened. It got dark just after we started and the weather was perfect. We got to really enjoy the lights and visit Santa and head out to get dinner just as it started to get busy. Our last experience here we went later, it was cold, and just not that fun-but we really like the event and knew Caden would too so were happy to try again this year and glad we got beautiful weather and less of a crowd this time around. 

Caden wasn't too sure about Santa. He's seen the idea of Santa through some of the Christmas shows he's seen, but we haven't really talked it up too much yet. He sat with him, but gave a questionable look towards us as if he wasn't quite sure if this weird man should be holding him...luckily he gave him a sucker and then they were the best of friends!





They have one section that is set to music and he just loved it. I think I really could have sat there for quite a while too-it's my favorite part of the place and so fun to see the light show. It was fun to get that time in with Caden before baby.

 
We also made ginger bread houses with my sister and her kids. He actually did make more of it than I thought he would, and he also didn't disappoint and ate just as much as I thought he would, too.
