Christmas on the Lake, and Visits from Santa and Mr. Moose

Sometimes Mason takes his costumes a little too far

Henry helping mommy with laundry is kind of funny (no wonder she thinks she is never getting anything done around the house)

Henry LOVES playing the piano

For family home evening we went down to the lake to look at the Christmas lights. Henry got to snuggle up close to mom in the baby carrier

The lights along the board walk are pretty impressive. My favorite part is the reflections in the water

They have these big boats touring the lake, showing off the lights, and travelling across the lake to see Santa

When the boats first begin they come across the Grinch

Here is the Grinch sitting on his chair

This is the dragon/creature that breaths out fire

Those reflections in the water are so pretty

Staying warm together

My cute bunch

This tree looked pretty cool

Selfie!

We walked through the mall on the way back to the van

Henry had lots of fun

There is something magical about Christmas lights

Potty training is not very fun right now. At this rate Henry might be potty training Mason 😝

But if you can get him smiling he can melt your heart

We got a dump of snow this week, which makes it feel more like Christmas

Kim and the boys made this awesome snow man

I got to take the boys to see Santa

Nixon had SO MUCH FUN with Santa

Henry, not so much...

In fact, he hated it

Santa was a little bit of a joker with Nixon

Henry is so cute before bed. I finally got our teeth brushing ritual on camera, followed up by the cutest wave "night-night"

On my way to work I saw the moose, turned around, got the camera, and got a few shots

And as a throwback, here is Lyza two years ago telling Nixon that "all mooses have a beard"

We had some big snow flakes falling one evening and while Kim and Henry were out shopping Henry was completely amazed with them. When she told me about it we did our best to recreate the moment.

Have you ever seen a cuter elf?

Kim and I had my work Christmas party Friday night. It was fun going out and trying to act like grown ups. We had an entire meal without anyone spilling their cups or having to force anyone to eat their food. Success!

Hope you have a great week!
Take care
