Weekend Madness

We had a great weekend full of holiday activites. Despite being on the go all weekend, it actually was not crazy or stressful but super enjoyable for all of us. Mac was a trooper and pretty much lived in his snowsuit and Moby wrap and James loved every second of all of the festivities. Saturday morning we went ice skating with James' preschool. Tim had to hold him under his arms and pretty much drag him around the rink, but James had so much fun. We had to bribe him with hot chocolate just to get him off the ice to give Tim's back a rest!

Saturday night was Longmont's holiday parade and firework display. It was the best one yet, we went with the Haleys and had a great time. Some of these pis are from Friday night when they had Santa's reindeer, hot chocolate stands, fire pits and a parachute drop at the park. James was freaked out by the parachute drop (the parachuters had fireworks coming out of them) and the firework display but loved everything else. He really enjoyed the parade this year.

On Sunday morning we went up to Ft Collins and had Santa Brunch with Steve, Amberly and the girls at the country club. Here is James giving Santa the side eye.
James asked for Buzz Lightyear and told Santa that Mac wanted a wagon.
On Sunday night we went to the Denver Zoo for Addison's Zoo Lights birthday party. It was a great place for a birthday party and the weather was awesome. James loved seeing the animals during the demonstration portion of the party but was the only kid who didn't want to touch anything (a snake, lizard and hedgehog) James loved walking around the zoo and checking out all the great light displays.
James wakes up every morning and asks if it is Christmas yet. He is so excited for everything leading up to the big day, we are having a great time celebrating the whole season with him (and Mac!).
