Christmas Time is Here...

I know I am not alone when I say, "I love Christmas!" I love all the traditions I did as a kid and the new ones we will start with Link. I love the decorations and the fact that we don't have a ton to put up: I can just appreciate others. Mostly, I love the fact Christmas is a lot more fun when you have a little one!

We started the Christmas season off with vising Santa at the mall. The second Link saw Santa, he flipped out. I don't know why we put our kids through this, but below is a picture of the said flip-out.

Things got better when we put up the tree at my parents house. Link "helped" a ton with the garland and putting the ornaments on (pictures to follow soon).

We also visited Tanglewood park to see all the Christmas ligths. I wish I had a video of Link's face. His eyes were huge and his lips pooched out as he said, "Ohhhhhhhhh." He also liked the fact he got out of his car seat during the drive through the park.

Now here are just some random Link facts: He is signing again...he signed more to a man at church when the man said, "Are you coming back for more." He signed please to a lady with chocolate ice-cream while out shopping. I can tell he gets frustrated when he doesn't know the words to say or sign, and I'm not getting what he wants.

I'm scared of what the age 2 will bring....he is already sas talking. He shakes his finger at me and says, "No, no no" when I say it to him. He also has no fear: he climbs on everything and thinks I'll be there to catch him.

His new favorite word is papa. He has scored some major brownie points with my dad for saying it, and I hope he won't get confused when he visit his other papa.
