It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

Last week was a crazy week that led into an even crazier weekend filled with holiday activities. Monday we took the kids bowling, picked up Weston's Christmas present, and put it together. Tuesday we took the kids to the Wichita Symphony Family Holiday Concert. Weston did not do well but it was expected. He is now at the age that even for food he won't sit still. I was hoping he would at least want to listen to some of the music but he found the older ladies big poofy hair more interesting. He kept wanting to touch it! He and I spent about 45 minutes in the lobby since Winter was really enjoying the music before I couldn't take anymore.

On Wednesday we headed back to Century 2 for A Night With Santa. The kids really enjoyed themselves but it was really busy. They had games, doughnuts, a cake walk, a tree auction, and some other neat things that we didn't do since the lines were so long.

The kids getting tattoos and showing them off!

Then on Thursday we headed up to Andover for their annual holiday celebration, Hometown Christmas. They have a chili cook-off and...

S'more Making,

Cookie Decorating,

Craft Making,

Carriage Rides,

and of course no Christmas celebration would be complete without a visit from Santa! I was so proud of Weston for sitting just long enough to snap a picture!

Friday was supposed to be movie night but there was Christmas shopping that had to be done so we decided to be brave and drag the kids out with us. It went pretty well and I got a couple more people knocked off my list. Then Saturday was dance, more shopping(by myself this time), a birthday party, and MNO Christmas Exchange. I got two very lovely ornaments. Thanks Heather!
The final day to my busy weekend Winter and I had tickets to see the Nutcracker. We went with two of her friends and their Moms. We decided to go to Olive Garden for a nice lunch before the show.

The girls all did so well and Winter loved the performance. This is definitely something we will be doing next year.

After the show I hurried to get changed into my normal attire of jeans and flats before heading up to Kechi for another Christmas Party. This time with the girls I work with at the church. It was a great time and I came home with 2 beautiful necklaces. Thanks Loni and Angela! We had a lot of fun this week but I am looking forward to the calm week we have ahead of us. We have nothing planned until Friday besides watching every Christmas movie out there!!
