Santa's Helper

Over the holidays, Colin and I really got into the Christmas spirit.  To kick off the season, we visited Aunt Jen at college and headed over to the Christiana Mall to sit on Santa's lap. Santa was so sweet and Colin really seemed to enjoy him.

 

I'm not sure what he asked Santa for but I sure hope he told him what Mommy wants....

We had such a great time with Aunt Jen and we're so happy to share this special moment with her!

Next thing on the Christmas agenda was getting a Christmas tree.  Uncle Connor took us to a Christmas tree farm our family has gone to for many years.  Colin, of course, fell asleep in the car on the short 5 minute drive and remained sleeping in the stroller when we began our search..

Here is Colin "helping" us find our tree...

Unfortunately, we couldn't find any good douglas firs we liked. If we found one it was bare on the other side so we headed down to the garage to check out the pre-cut fraser firs.  As soon as we picked one out Colin woke up.  He wasn't too happy about being awake.

 But, with a little help from Uncle Connor, he was all smiles.

Aunt Jen came home from college a few days later and Colin was ready to help decorate the tree with her. 

Turns out Colin didn't do too much decorating however, he did enjoy some cuddle time with Pappy in front of the tree.
