This past two weeks we have been getting ready for Christmas! We participated in "Small Business Saturday" instead of "Black Friday" and I have to say that it was a lot of fun and I especially loved the family time that we got! We went to Old Colorado City and spent the day shopping and ate at a little local Italian restaurant. I was, however, a little disappointed in the shops they had there. There were a ton of jewelry and clothing shops but no unique toy stores or family friendly stores. We still came out of the day with a lot of good time together! We even got to be at the grand opening of Baby Cotton Bottoms. This store is where I have purchased all of Jamin's cloth diapers from. Up until now, it has been run out of a small detached garage but surprisingly is one of the top 5 cloth diaper stores in the country because of their amazing online store! It is so neat to see this store growing and the interest in cloth diapers growing as well!!
Here are a few pictures from the day!
Last weekend we wanted to drive around our neighborhood and look at all the lights that our neighbors have put up this year. There were so many people who went all out! Some even made a light show that went to music! Jamin loved sitting with me in the front seat. When we would come up to a house with lots of lights, I would roll down the window and Jamin would get so excited. He tried crawling out of the car several times lol.

We also celebrated Kyle's birthday last weekend! Jamin and I gave him his present a day early so that he could enjoy it all month long. We made him an Advent Calendar. Every year he always talks about how much he LOVES these. I have usually bought him one from Target each year, but this year I decided to make him his own personalized one. I filled it with his favorite chocolates.
We also put up the Christmas tree this weekend! Jamin loves the lights! He has already pulled down one of our trees. He is no longer allowed to touch them lol. When we were putting up the ornaments, Jamin disappeared for a minute. We both thought he was by the front door but then when he came out of our bedroom he was carrying a pair of my underwear. He proceeded to walk toward the tree where he hung them up on it. I guess he thought that it was missing a special ornament lol.

| My mom has given me an ornament every year since I was ten. There is a small tree in our house dedicated to only these ornaments. When we opened up the box, one was sadly broken :( |
These pictures are so hilarious. I thought that maybe Jamin wouldn't be afraid of Santa but he definitely was. I think one of these will be on our Christmas cards because they are so funny. Jamin was given a little gift from Santa too and he wanted nothing to do with it. I think it's because he knew it wasn't the real Santa lol.
