Santa, Horses, and more Santa.....fa.la.la.la.la

We have been busy this Christmas season doing as much as we possibly can. Can't believe its only 10 more days to Christmas. Shopping is done and we have gone way overboard for Will. Oh well, its all about the kids!

Our Christmas decorations were put up after Thanksgiving and our tree is in protective custody from Will. This idea was given to us by Will's occupational therapist so thanks Lydia! It still has been decorated by Will because he has thrown his blocks, trucks, footballs, and cups into the tree. All the decorations have been moved up high. For instance, my glittery deer that usually sit on the floor by the fireplace are now on the mantle above the fireplace. The ornaments (which have not been broken yet) are "balls" and something Will thinks he should be playing with. My mom has taught him that her tree is "hot" and something we shouldn't touch so every time he goes near her tree he says "hot." It's a hoot to see!

Wondering what that thing is

Cool it has lights!

We made a trip to the mall to see Santa. Will wasn't a fan of the jolly ole man. He screamed, kicked, cried and wanted away from Santa. When I rescued him, he looked at Santa and waved "bye bye." It was absolutely the funniest thing I had ever seen.

 

 

Next up we went to see the Budweiser Clydesdales that were in town for the Tupelo Christmas parade. Unfortunately we didn't make it to the parade because it was 32 degrees at night and I wasn't taking a chance of Will getting sick at this time of the year. He didn't miss out though and never knew there was a parade in town. I, on the other hand, was upset because Tupelo has not had a parade at night in many, many years and was really looking forward to it but it is not all about me, its about keeping my little one well! We saw the Clydesdales and all Will cared about was the dog. Of all the pretty horses there, Will liked the dog. Oh well!

 

 

Then we had Brunch with Santa at the Tupelo Country Club. Will still didn't like Santa. Maybe next year!

 

 

As for now, it's all quiet on the home front until Christmas with all the family (posts to come later). New adventures and routines start tomorrow as I go back to work full-time with the bank and Will goes to Mrs. Bonnie's (his new keeper) house for the week and then he's with his daddy for 2 full weeks while mommy works full time. Life is fixing to get CRaZy!!
