Fun Christmas Events!

We have had a great week.  Bryant has been able to participate in two different Christmas events.  Last Friday we went to Tales for Tots at the Arc of Shelby County.  A friend from MOPS works there part time and told us about it.  It was lots of fun.  There were lots of toys to play with, several different tables set up to make different crafts, a story time, and Santa!!  Bryant had a blast!  He made a couple of crafts, played with toys, and met Santa.  He was not a very big fan of Santa…in fact he kinda had a death grip on me while I sat him in Santa's lap.  However, although he wouldn't smile, at least he didn't cry!  Oh, and one table had sugar cookies with icing and sprinkles for the kids to make their own cookies.  I decided to let Bryant do it and figured I could just eat his cookie. ;)  Well, one taste of that icing on his hands and he wanted to eat it.  So..for the first time…I actually let him eat 1/2 of the cookie.  He LOVED it!  He kept going back to the sugar cookie craft table and pulling himself up into the chair, as though if he sat there long enough someone would give him another cookie to decorate!  Ha!  Below are a few pictures.

 As you can see, he is ready to get down asap!

 Playing with toys!

 SUGAR!!!!

His present for seeing Santa, and two crafts he (we) made.  The red part of the candy cane is his fingerprint, and he helped pour the glitter on the initial ornament.

The other Christmas event was on Monday at his preschool.  They had Breakfast with Santa.  It was fun!  Bryant ate a little bit, but of course he mainly just wanted to run around like a wild man.  I once again made him sit in Santa's lap.  And once again, he was not too happy about it.  Oh well!  Below are some pictures.

 Breakfast!

 They boy loves his grapes!

 He was making sure I saw the Christmas tree.

 At least he wasn't the only kid who couldn't sit still.

 Wild man!!

 Unimpressed with Santa once again...

He did get a toy for seeing Santa.  He picked out the elf!  He was trying to share him with me.

Also, we went over to our friends house last week to fingerpaint a Christmas tree.  It was the first time Bryant had painted anything with me, and he wasn't a big fan.  However, I do think his handprint Christmas tree turned out super cute!  All in all it was fun!

The tree is made out of his handprint, and the ornaments are made out of his thumbprint!

Well…that's all for now.  Oh, and you can probably see that I was able to post pictures in my blogpost again.  I could not get it fixed, so we broke down and are going to pay the monthly fee (It's only $2.49) for now…  But I'm still going to try to figure out what the deal is!  I find it unbelievably frustrating that they make it so hard to find a "help" number, and no one knows how to help you.  All I know is that Google is RACKING UP on some money from all the bloggers who broke down and are paying monthly for extra storage that they probably don't even need.  Anyway, that's all I will say about that!

Until next time…
