We had a wonderful Christmas this year! We spent Christmas Eve with Jason's family. Darin and Tamara hosted an Ugly Christmas Sweater theme and everyone had super creative ideas. We feasted on amazing food and had a wonderful evening together.
Christmas Day was just our cute family. A lazy day of opening presents and playing in our pjs.
The day after Christmas we had my family over to celebrate the holiday. Again, it was a lovely evening of food, fun, and family! Merry Christmas!!
It was a super fun Christmas theme weekend! Friday night we headed to Stages theater to see the production of a "Charlie Brown Christmas." It was so cute! I LOVE the music from that play. The boys also really enjoyed the play and Stages did a fabulous job on the production!
On Sunday morning we got to have breakfast with Santa at Macy's in downtown Minneapolis on the 12th floor. It was such a fun morning. This is the first time we have done this, and we will definitely be doing it again. It was a gorgeous room with a super yummy breakfast buffet. The boys got their face painted with awesome Christmas designs. A balloon guy came to our table and made each of the boys reindeer antlers. And of course we got our pictures taken with Santa! After we finished breakfast, we went downstairs to the 8th floor to see the Macy's Christmas display. It was a delightful weekend!
This year we tried something new for the holiday season and visited the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train in St. Paul. The train visits various cities collecting food for the local food shelf. The brightly lit train arrived at the Union Depot around 7pm. The weather was great and there was plenty of space for all the people to get good views of the impressive train. One of the boxcars soon opened up and a live band started playing music. It was a cute way to spend our Friday evening.
It's the season of birthdays and our awesome Colin turned 10 on December 3rd! It's hard to believe we have been parents for over a decade now! It is such a blessing to be parents to such amazing kids and Zero Gravity is the place to celebrate them! :) It was another fun birthday party for Colin and all of his friends today.
