Happy Birthday and Santa

On Sunday we continued the celebration since it was officially Peyton's birthday.  We spent the day as a family and packed in a lot of birthday and Christmas fun!

We started the morning by giving Peyton one last gift.  A high chair for her babies.  She put it right to use!


















We decorated the tree and Peyton enjoyed helping.



















Then it was off to Bread Co. for Peyton's favorite lunch - grilled cheese!


















After lunch it was home for naps.  When Peyton woke up we asked her if she wanted to go see Santa and she said "Sure!".


















Waiting to see Santa

















The closer we got I could see Peyton's hesitation growing and I wasn't sure how things would go.  As we approached Santa she got very shy and hid behind Jason.  Santa was very kind and even sang Happy Birthday to her when I told him it was her big day.  She didn't want to sit on his lap but was happy to sit on the little stool next to him.  Charlie was content and just staring at the crazy lady trying to make them smile!





















After visiting Santa we decided to drive through Tilles Park to see the lights.  However, when we got there the line of cars to get in was so long we decided to go home instead.  It was close to dinner time and we didn't want to push it.  After dinner we got in our PJ's and decided to try Tilles again and this time we drove right in.  No line at all!  Peyton was getting tired but enjoyed seeing all the pretty lights.  Charlie was not as impressed and cried much of the time.




















It was the perfect way to cap off a great weekend of celebrating our big TWO year old!
