It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

This past weekend kicked off the holiday season for our family! Friday night, we decked Sawyer out in his cutest Christmas jammies and went to the Junior League of Columbia's Holiday Market PJ's with Santa event. We had a blast! We walked around the market and did a little shopping. Sawyer got to sit with Santa and have his picture taken. This Santa was very authentic with a real beard, which Sawyer promptly pulled on! The poor man had to keep his hand down to keep him from pulling on it. After seeing Santa, Will, Mom, Lindsay, Sawyer, and I went to have dinner at Henry's. What a wonderful way to kick off the holidays!

On Sunday night, we went to the Cayce-West Columbia Christmas Parade with Will's family. We started off the afternoon at the home of family friends. They had some Christmas cookies and snacks for us to enjoy. We walked up the street to stake out a spot to watch the parade. Sawyer was thoroughly mesmerized by the lights and music on the floats. I thought he would be fussy and tired because of the time of day the parade. He stayed awake and watched the entire event. What a fun night with Will's family!

This weekend, the fun continues! We are taking Sawyer to the Picture People to get his six month pictures taken. I plan on him wearing two different outfits: a Christmas one and a regular one to vary the shots a bit. We are going in the morning, so hopefully he will be in a good mood. We are also going to get our Christmas tree and decorate our house this weekend. Mr. Will Griswold is a little unhappy because he can't go crazy this year decorating. Our house is still on the market and we don't want to detract buyers! Our house will be beautifully, tastefully decorated to celebrate the spirit of the season! One other thing we want to do before Christmas is to go to the Lights Before Christmas at the Riverbanks Zoo. I know Sawyer would love seeing all of the lights. We are trying to get a group of friends together to make the trip.
