Christmas Time

We are loving Chrismtas time in the Waters house!  It has been so much fun since moving into this house to watch the excitement on the boys' faces with anticipation for Christmas morning.  The boys are at such a fun age this year where they get up every morning looking for our little Elf, Snowflake.  He is our Elf on the Shelf.  For anyone who isn't familiar, this is a magical little elf who flies up to see Santa every night and tells him what the boys want for Christmas.  Then the next morning he is hiding somewhere different around the house.  Every morning they wake up and cannot wait to go find where Snowflake has hidden this time.  It is the most fun thing in the morning to watch their little faces light up when they find him. 

I feel like there are some things we are missing out on this season b/c we haven't been to any parades or done much out in the community.  I know there are lots of Christmas activities to attend but it's been so cold and with Camryn only being a year old I kinda worry about her being out in that mess.  But hopefully this week is gonna warm up a little bit.  We've at least gotta go through the Creekmore lights on the train!  That's always fun. 

One thing we have done though is go out and look at lights.  Here's a picture of the boys heading out last night to look at lights...It was bitterly cold!!

Yes Lucas Caden is wearing a red sweater, blue/green striped hat and coveralls!  His outfit of choice.  Cash is sporting the same sweater but with jeans and a Santa hat.  Aren't they just so handsome.  By the time I took this picture, Camryn was so bundled up in her carseat that you could not even see her in there so I didn't get a picture of her.  We went up through Fianna and around a few different areas in FS.  The lights were fabulous. 

This morning we got up pretty darn early!  Camryn was up at 6:20, and Lucas Caden followed at about 7:00.  Then when Cash got up it was time to find Snowflake.  He is a pretty good hider but they boys always seem to find him :)

Headed to church where the message was just amazing...very very good service this morning.  Then off to lunch, then nap time which was very refreshing!  Tonight we went to the children's program at church and then down to visit my parents.  Fantastic weekend in our house.  I am just absolutely loving this Christmas season.  I am reminding myself to do the most with every day because it will be over in only a few weeks.  Hope all my many, many followers (4) had a great week!
