Getting Ready for Santa

Aiden got everything ready for Santa. He put the reindeer food, he made at school, out in the snow with Daddy. Then he put the cookies on the table and he even insisted that we give Santa Strawberry milk. After we took his Christmas Eve picture by the tree he went to sleep!

Christmas Eve

We went to my sister's house to celebrate Christmas with my Mom's family. We had a wonderful sit down dinner and then we opened gifts. Aiden received some very cools items. Even though I think David and Jeremy would say the best gifts were the scarves they received.

Garfield Park and Eiteljorg Museum

My aunt came to town to visit for a couple of days so we went to see the trains and plants at the Garfield Park Conservatory. We also went to see the trains at the Eiteljorg Museum. While at the museum we checked out some of the other exhibits. We did learn that Aiden is very fascinated with art. Who would have guessed?

SNOW!

I think it may have snowed everyday in December. Aiden loves to go out and play in the snow. So we went out one afternoon and he had a blast. He loved being thrown in the snow and tried to make snowballs to throw at us!

Chritsmas Party

We hosted the 3rd annual Christmas party for all our friends and the kids. Once again it was a great time! The kids made a very cute craft and then opened gifts. They also spent A LOT of time playing together! It was great evening!!

Christmas Pictures

We decided not to have professional pictures taken again this year. So I had Aiden sit in front of the tree and get his picture taken. I used a Christmas picture as well as pictures of Aiden throughout the year and the family for the Christmas card this year! Here are some of the better pictures!

Circus Time!

We took Aiden to the Circus! We had great seats. Aiden had a really good time! He might have enjoyed the cotton candy and the hat more than watching the circus. It was a great night!
