Christmas Happenings

Christmas is going by way too fast this year!!!  Part of it I think is because Bo and I will be leaving for MS this Sunday.  Jarrod has to work and I want to go over early to spend some time at home, so he will be joining us on Thursday.  Here are a few pictures of what we’ve been doing lately!

A few weekends ago we took Bo to this drive through display.  He loved it.  It was about 6 miles long and all of the lights were set to music.  They had you tune your radio to a particular radio station that had all of the music.  It really was neat, but Bo’s favorite part was after the lights.  They had Santa’s village set up with all sorts of activities, but the one thing he loved the most was the train!  It was too cold for me so daddy hopped on and they rode around for the longest time on this train!!

This past weekend we had Jarrod’s work Christmas party, which I must say…most of these things in the past I have always dreaded, but I actually enjoy his Christmas party here.  He works with some really great people, who are always fun to talk to.  Bo stayed with Aunt Amy and Uncle David.  He had a blast, as always!!!  They made cookies Saturday night and I heard he even got some snuggle time with Aunt Amy because he wouldn’t go to sleep :)!!! 

Friday afternoon Bo and I made our first gingerbread house!  Mr. Independent wanted to do it ALL on his own…icing and all!!  I tried to help as much as I could, but for the most part he didn’t want me touching it!  It was fun, but at the end the kitchen was covered from floor to ceiling in icing…oh well it all cleans up!  Then Sunday afternoon Bo helped me with our traditional Christmas cookies.  It’s just not Christmas in our house without these cookies.  My mom made them growing up and I hope one day Bo will remember me making them.  He LOVES to help, with anything and everything, but especially cooking!!
