Mosier Moments: A Few December Updates

We've had a busy week leading up to Christmas with some fun holiday events and celebrations.

Last week we started off by visiting Santa at the mall. Madison of course had her list memorized, and Hudson had only one thing on his mind, "Choo Choos" (trains). While he seemed anxious to see him while in line, when it finally came time to actually sit on his lap, he wanted nothing to do with it. Madison did a good job trying to get him to go visit Santa, but Hudson was not happy about it. When he finally got enough courage to go tell Santa what he wanted, he was confused and disappointed at what happened next. He apparently thought that when he asked Santa for what he wanted that Santa was going to immediately give it to him. So, when we told Hudson to say good-bye to Santa, he didn't move and just kept saying, "choo, choo, choo ,choo!" He was quite upset that Santa was not giving him a train, so we tried to explain that Santa brings presents to the house another day. He quickly got over it. I'm sure he'll be excited if Santa decides to bring him some trains!

Here are a few Santa pictures:

Later in the week we had a visit from Grandpa and Grandma and celebrated Christmas with them. We all had a blast going out to eat and opening gifts by the fire. We all got more then enough fun stuff, and are very grateful. Wait until you see Madison's face when she opened her MP3 player....she was so excited and surprised!
Thanks Grandpa and Grandma!

As school wrapped up for the winter break, both kids had holiday parties at their schools. Brian and I split up, he went to Madison's party and I planned on going to Hudson's, but then Brian surprised us and showed up too. Hudson performed a little Christmas show singing songs and shaking his bell. He did a great job! Madison got to play games, make crafts, and eat snacks at her party. Both kids had a blast and truly love their teachers and enjoy going to school!
