Schlitterbahn and our family Christmas

I just had to get a picture like this....too cute. Aren't those chubby little legs looking longer??? :)

Our favorite Schlitterbahn employee (Aunt Brittany) got us some cheap tickets for their holiday in the park. We went Saturday night and had a great time. Weston loved seeing all the lights...and there was TONS of them! He obviously wasn't able to ice skate yet....maybe in a few years...but liked watching them.

He got to go on the big bouncy slide with his dad. They made him try it on his own first....he was trying it...but it would have taken forever....so super dad helped him up!

There was fake snow falling and he loved watching it. It's in that first picture even though you can't really tell. We all got to ride the big carousel....he loved it....thought he was big stuff up there on that horse.

Do you think he was enjoying it?

There was a smaller carousel that was actually hot air balloons that went in a circle. You had to be 36" to ride....well he isn't quite that but I asked the guy if he could do it and he let him. He had to ride it by himself and he loved it. It was cute to see him spinning around on a big boy ride. He was all smiles!

We ended the night by seeing Santa Claus. It looks like he wasn't too sure of him...but no tears or screaming tantrums :)

Last night we did our little family Christmas just the 3 of us. We started off by Logan reading the Christmas story. I thought it be a great idea to get down our nativity scene and let Weston look at the characters as Logan read it. Well here is Weston holding baby Jesus and looking at him. So that is BEFORE....

This is AFTER......poor baby Jesus got thrown into his mother, Mary, and he shattered into pieces. He now only has one arm....no legs.....I sure am glad that Jesus is a loving Father who forgives our sins! It's going to take lots of hot glue to fix him back up :(

It's funny how much he has learned in a few months. He hasn't opened a present since his birthday party in March....he didn't know what to do then....but suddenly he knew exactly what to do last night. He was using the full body approach and getting that paper torn off! His Mimi and Pawpaw got him a basketball goal. He is loving it already. We skyped (webcam) with them last night so they could see him opening his gifts. We'll sure miss them this Christmas!

We got him a Tonka truck that makes all kinds of noises and motions. He had been playing with it in the aisle of Walmart anytime we were there....so we thought it would be a good gift. I think he likes it!
