St. Ann's Mom's Group Christmas Party

Our last activity of the weekend was my Mom's Group Christmas Party. It was a good time and Charles got along with all of the husbands. We ended up staying awhile...Bear had so much fun playing with someone elses' toys! He also got a Thomas the Train tent in the gift exchange. Boy were we exhausted from our fun-filled eventful weekend!

Northpark Trip

We went to Northpark today to see the Train Exhibit with Mimi, Grandad and Alycia. Barrett absolutely loved it! He keep going Woo! Woo! (His train sound :) The exhibits were amazing. I can't believe how detailed all of the scenes were!
Bear and daddy...I think he was staring at the entrance to the train exhibit!

Downtown Grapevine

Saturday morning we went to downtown Grapevine to shop, see Santa and ride the carriage. It was freezing outside (you can probably tell from our faces!) but we had a great time! Charles and I got some Chrismas shopping done at the cute little shops. Barrett loved the carriage ride!! Just arriving...brrr!!!!He did not know what to think of this Santa!Taking a break to warm up!

Bear and Papa...I think Bear was really hungry at this point!

Much better!
He was so confused about Santa of stilts!

My little boy!

Decorating the Tree

Decorating the tree was so much fun with Barrett! It truly felt like Christmas with our music playing, drinking hot chocolate and decorating the tree with Bear! While decorating the tree, we had a system going: Charles would put the hooks on, Barrett would pick them up and then we would put them on the tree. I am so thankful for our little family!I have two more stockings to put up but still need to buy holders. Zoey and Coco have to share a stocking this year!Watching daddy put up lights Ornaments everywhere!Barrett enjoying his time to drink hot chocolate!
What a great helper!

Checking out his work...

I think it should go here.....
