December was a busy, cold and snowy month. It felt very much like Christmas. We made sure Logan had plenty of opportunities to meet Santa, this year, starting with Santa Cow at Chic-Fil-A:

Logan was recovering from a cold, but was not one bit afraid of Santa Cow, and even offered him a high-five! After breakfast, we headed out to buy our Christmas tree…in the snow. I was the only one who thought that was a fun outing.  It was incredibly cold (15 degrees-ish) and snowing. Logan got cold and Noah got cranky (but then again, he didn’t bring his gloves). I will concede that it is difficult to unwrap a frozen tree.

At the beginning of December we got almost a foot of snow in a couple of days. It made for a wonderful family photo op, that would have only been improved by Logan not being sick:

Once he was feeling better it was time again for not one, but two more opportunities to meet Santa! One of the perks of living in a small town is all of the fun and free events the chamber puts on. Santa was set-up downtown with Victorian carolers. Unfortunately we missed the reindeer, but Logan didn’t seem to mind.

The following opportunity was at the neighborhood Christmas party. Logan ran right up to Santa and wanted to sit on his lap, unlike the other children. He was very happy to receive a candy cane. 🙂

But the best part of December was yet to come…
