Christmas 2010

A few weeks before Christmas, we headed to Calera to ride the "Santa Special" train. Beau loves trains and he was very excited to go, but not really excited about Santa. He kept asking where Mrs. Clause was. He told us that he wanted to ask Santa for 2 blue trains for Christmas and we said that was fine. Santa handed out gifts to the kids on the train. Santa pulled out a frosty the snowman stuffed animal out of his big red bag and Beau took it and said "thank you." After Santa moved down the train, Beau looked and me and said "but I wanted two, blue trains." Hilarious!







We had a very relaxing Christmas this year. I was unable to travel because of high blood pressure at the end of this pregnancy, so we stayed close to the house and enjoyed lots of family time and food. :) We enjoyed going to our church Christmas Service. Beau sat with us this year and he did a great job! He loved the music and the camera that was recording the service. It was attached to a crane and he stared at it for most of the service. He really enjoyed lighting the candles at the end of the service and singing songs.

This was our last Christmas as a family of just 3, so we really enjoyed just being with Beau and watching him open his gifts and enjoy them. He understood this year that Christmas is where we celebrate the birth of Jesus. So, of course, we had Happy Birthday Jesus cupcakes on Christmas morning. We spent all day on Christmas Day in our Pj's until we went to see my family that night, in town, for Christmas dinner. Beau kept asking when his friends were coming over to give him presents for Christmas. We tried to tell him that his friends would come over sometime and play with his presents, but Beau kept insisting that they would bring him presents too. :)

At Zoolight Safari on New Year's Eve....we got there in time to play for a little while before it started pouring down rain. We rode the train and joked about how my water could break on the train ride....it did break about 12 hours later on New Year's Day. :)
