Santa's lap = Overrated!

So this was the first year that we took Easton to see Santa and what an adventure that was. When we first got there the line was not that long so we decided to wait. Previously we had decided that no matter what, crying or not, we were going to buy pictures....it was his 1st Santa pic, we had to!
So we stand in line and wait for about 30-40 min and are the next family to be called when, whoops!, the camera breaks and the computer freezes. No worries this can be fixed. After 20 minutes of calling support and getting a new camera we then get called.
I put Easton on Santa's lap and of course, as expected, he cries. There is no calming him down, just snap the picture. We buy the pictures anyway and hope next year will be better. He will be bigger and understand at that point...maybe!
With that said, Easton was 30 min late for his class party but still showed up. Things were wrapping up but he got to open a few gifts anyway!



Picture from school, not at the mall...

O' Christmas Tree

Last night we went and bought a Christmas tree...but not without first buying Easton a big puffy jacket. With 30 degree weather, just a sweater is not going to cut it.
Our first stop was to the church to support the Boy Scouts, and oh my, what trouble they were having. The trees were little and expensive. Our second stop was to our trusty source, Costco. This is the first year that they are selling trees and it is beautiful and the price is awesome! Thank you Costco!
We also haven't put a Christmas card together yet so that was in the works as well. I tried to bribe Easton with a cookie to get him to sit so we will see what the picture turns out like. He only bought it for about 1 minute and then knew it was a trick....smart little guy!
