Today I took the boys to visit Santa at the sportsman warehouse. He flew in not on the reindeers but in a helicopter, the boys were very curious on where the reindeer were and why they couldn't see them. I explained to them that Santa only takes the reindeer out on Christmas Eve night to deliver all the boys and girls presents. They seemed to somewhat understand and were extremely excited to get inside and see Santa finally. The line was extremely long though, so we had to wait patiently like everyone else. Boys waiting patiently RIGHT!!! They had fun playing inside all the tents with the rest of the kids standing in line. After about an hour we finally made it to the front of the line and at last it was their turn to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas. At first I put the boys both on Santa's lap and this year they didn't need mommy to sit with them, they were brave and told him was they both wanted. Then I let Ashton sit on his lap alone and he did good while mommy took a couple pictures, it was really cute. But when i put Brody on Santa's lap alone he started freaking out crying. I told Brody you need to tell Santa what you want for Christmas and he said "mommy I already told Santa what I wanted. So I took a couple quick pics and took him off his lap. After they saw Santa they each did a craft, they made a reindeer out of a candy cane they turned out really cute. After we left the boys kept talking about Santa and how they couldn't wait till Christmas morning. This year they actually understand Christmas and I am so excited to see their faces on Christmas morning.
Tonight we attempted to go get our Christmas pictures taken. We were running a little late and Brody really wasn't feeling to good. He was running a little temperature and was pretty tired. Fell asleep right before we had to get ready to leave. So when we woke him up he was very upset and not at all happy. When we finally got to Sears the lady taking the pictures was running behind so we had about an hour to look around the store. And we should of just rescheduled then because by the time we finally started Brody was even more tired and wanted nothing to do with it. Nick was running off of 4 hours of sleep and me well known I worked the night before and hadn't went to bed yet. We ended up taking only about 7 pictures and then realized we needed to reschedule for another day. We did end up getting the 10 dollar package with one of the poses but they really didn't turn out as I had hoped they would. We promised the boys if they were good we would take them for ice cream. Even though we didn't get to finish our session we took them to cold stones for their first time. They both got little cups of ice-cream with m&m's and sprinkles. Afterwards we went home got in our pajamas, brushed our teeth, read a book, and went to bed!!!!!!!! It was a long day!
