I need to get Christmas blogged about so I can clear the photo's off my phone. I'm tired of it telling me I have no storage :)
For Holden's first Christmas we saw Santa twice (attempted a 3rd), visited lights twice (Speedway and Magical Forest) had a few Santa outfits his mother made him wear and got way too many presents!
Our first Holiday outing was at the Oppurtinity Village Magical Forest. We met up with Nycole and Ruby and Amber, Fred and Lily. It was pretty chilly so I made Holden stay in his stroller most of the night. But we had some hot chocolate, saw Santa (he didn't cry) and saw some lights.
We next attempted to see Santa out at the Bass Pro shops, being a first time mom I was a total novice. #1 going there on a weekend and #2 not being prepared to spend hours in line. Needless to say we hit the cafe with my parents and did NOT see Santa! Next year I will be more prepared.
We also toured the Speedway lights with Ryan's parents. They were actually pretty good and Holden was thrilled I let him out of the car seat. He stood up pretty much the whole time and genuinely seemed to have fun.
Lastly I wanted a good picture with Santa in a cute outfit so we headed off to the Fashion Show Mall to visit the REAL Santa. We were prepared this time to wait hours and ended up waiting maybe 10 minutes. They took a few pictures of Holden with Santa and instead of buying the traditional one I bought the one of him looking at Santa because it was too cute! He was so good and the Disney store was right next door so it's never too soon to start bribing/rewarding your kid with toys in my opinion. Holden LOVES the theme song (and now can watch a few additional minutes) of Jake and the Neverland Pirates. When we handed him his first little stuffed Disney doll he just smiled and smiled. It really was the cutest thing ever.
