Nutcracker

Lawson with the "chinese dancers"

Addie with the "chinese dancers"

We took them backstage where they seemed to love the fake fireplace!

All of us at our house- you know someone's eyes had to be closed!

Playing with their new gifts together

Yes, they matched perfectly. Aren't they cute?

Lawson had to show off his ears!

Last sunday, Erica and I took Addie and Lawson to see the nutcracker. They both did amazingly well. Poor Addie just got scared of some of the loud noises and had to make a couple of exits, but overall, great for their ages! Beforehand, we let them give each other their presents. They are so cute together, it's ridiculous!

Lawson's visit with Santa

It's been a couple of weeks since we went to see Santa, but I'm just now making the post. Lawson did great! He was a little unsure, but Santa seemed to grow on him.

Making Christmas cookies

Mom had to help him get all the sprinkles off!

Loved the icing!

Of course, he had to eat the first one!

Lawson and "Honey" cutting out the dough

On Monday, Lawson helped to make some christmas cookies. He helped in each step. Rolling the dough, cutting them out, icing and sprinkles. He had a great time!

Parade of Lights

Last sunday, we took Lawson to the West Columbia parade of lights. He watched intently the whole time, and enjoyed the candy that they all threw as well.

Decking our halls

Over the weekend, Lawson helped with our decorations on the house, also. You see what he does when I say "smile!" Ha! These perfectly show his little personality!

Our tree

Checking it out! I think this one is too cute!

Helping add the ornaments

Cutting it down!

I want this one!

Last night, we took Lawson to a tree farm to cut down our own Christmas tree. Despite all of the inconveniences, we still think there's something special about a real tree. Instead of the usual frasier firs(that don't grow here), we got a leyland cypress this year so that we could cut one. Lawson had a great time picking the ones he liked and running around the trees playing hide and seek.

Thanksgiving

On Thanksgiving, we went to a family gathering with Steven's family. There are lots of children there, so Lawson loved playing with the bigger kids toys. He even took a ride on a 4-wheeler.
