chet thought santa was scary.
no surprise there!
he was also disappointed that santa didn't give him the toys he asked for, right that very minute.
he left the store saying, 'where's my truck?'
poor kid. he just doesn't understand christmas yet.
all he knows is we keep promising him presents and cousins. but they never come!
chet is seriously so excited for presents this year.
he is always telling us that he 'needs presents'.
tonight i wrapped one of his toys up just so he could open it.
and chet thought it was pretty swell.
christmas morning is going to blow his mind!
holden was just happy to be held.
we thought chet might be more brave if he got to sit next to holden.
but he wasn't.
i was determined for chet to have a better santa experience, though.
so, since we had some time to burn, we decided to try a different santa.
we headed over to good ol' broulims.
and that time we let chet sit beside santa, rather then on him, and things went much better!
some more christmas-y pictures:
we were invited to max's house to make a gingerbread train.
chet spent the whole time scavenging for frosting.
max spent the whole time spilling sprinkles all over the place.
and i spent the whole time being grateful that we weren't doing that at my apartment!
our train fell apart as soon as i tried to move it.
so, even though this picture stinks, it's all we've got to document our masterpiece.
eating frosting. straight from the bag.
i gave chet the picture of the gingerbread man, and just handed him the pieces.
he decided where everything needed to go.
and i was pretty impressed by the final result!
checking out a nativity.
it was so hard for chet to glue these marshmallows on the paper, instead of eat them!
