{Christmas 2013}

We officially kicked off the Christmas holidays with PJ's with Santa at the Junior League of Columbia's Holiday Market on December 6th. We had a nice evening of shopping, mingling, decorating cookies, and visiting with Santa (not!). Sawyer was terrified of the man in the red suit with the beard!

Visit #1 with Santa 2013

The next weekend, friends of ours from church had a little Christmas drop-in at their house. All of the kids had a great time playing and the adults enjoyed themselves as well. Santa also made an appearance, that was again, not very well received. 

Visit #2 with Santa 2013

We also had a chance to go to the Zoo to see the Christmas lights. We went with Will's college buddies and their families. 

Visit #3 with Santa 2013- finally getting used to the big guy!

Christmas Eve, we had lunch at my dad's farm, like we usually do. That evening, we went to church with my family and visited family friends afterwards. 

Christmas morning was magical! Sawyer loved seeing all of his new things! We got up early and had family time with just the three of us. Next, we went to my parents to open gifts. We then went to Will's parents to open more gifts and have lunch before going to visit his sister in the hospital.
