Getting Ready for Christmas

We tried hard to keep Christmas really simple at our house this year, but we still had a lot of fun preparing for it.  My favourite part though was seeing it all through the eyes of a 2 year old.

Off to get our Christmas tree in November (yes, 2 months ago!).

"The One"

Bryon said this is the only time he'll go hunting this year :)

Kai loves all of the Christmas ornaments/toys that we pulled out of our storage bins.

Mary, "Jofus", and Baby Jesus get lots of attention too.  It's so fun to have Kai understanding more this year as we celebrate Christmas.

Bryon's company Christmas party....the perfect party for families!  Kai was enthralled with the horses/sleigh ride and loved all of the room to run in the big lodge, as well as the wonderful food :)

We had an ornament gift exchange, and Bryon made this "lovely" ornament for poor Donnie!

The office staff

Yes, that's our child in the front...the one just shouting, "1, 2, 3!" and getting ready to jump up as soon as the picture is taken!

We took Kai to meet Santa, only to discover the scariest Santa we'd ever seen!  Bryon commented that he wouldn't even have sat on Santa's lap, and Kai only approached Santa long enough to quickly grab a candy cane :)
