Santa’s Wonderland

This morning we went to Bass Pro Shops Santa’s Wonderland. It was a blast. The kids got to take pictures with Santa and they had games and crafts and even a full size carousel inside and the best part was it was all FREE.

This was our first year meeting Santa. We had a talk with Ashton about it and he was really excited. He went first. We were hoping that would help Peyton feel more confortable.

At first Peyton didn’t want to go, but then she saw Santa give Ashton a candy cane. That was enough to convince her.

Next up was Kipton. I was happy the lady snapped the picture before Kipton realized what was going on. He isn’t smiling, but he wasn’t crying either so that was good.

Surprisingly no one was in line after us so we decided to get a group picture. I just wanted a group picture of the kids, but then photographer said we could get in and thought might as well and I’m glad we did.

We played some of the games for a little bit and then went to the carousel.

Peyton was an inch too short to ride solo.

Even Kipton enjoyed it.

Family Pictures

Thanks to some lovely sisters of ours, Stacy, Becca, and Katie and their help we were able to pull off family pictures this year.

Some black and whites, for fun

Game 3

It was a mere 50 degrees this morning which probably doesn’t sound cold to you, but for us Arizonans it was COLD!

Kipton is an amazing little boy. While all the other little siblings are going crazy sitting still, Kipton is perfectly content in his chair with his snacks.

Peyton got to the ball first. She was just a little slow to catch it with her glove. It’s between her knees.

In line for batting order

Ashton up to bat

Ashton batting left this time. He can actually bat left and right.

Here is a video of Ashton batting left.

Here is Peyton’s video batting.

Two more years and Kipton will be playing! He’s ready!

Kipton with his Daddy

 

These are just some photos from the weekend.

When Taylor is home the kids always want all of his time including Bella.

Kipton may be the youngest, but sure is the loudest.

He was done sharing Daddy and started pushing his siblings out.

Victorious!

 

Kipton loves to cuddle

Words aren’t needed to express the love shown in the photos. Kipton isn’t a baby anymore and it’s fun to see him grow and turn into a sweet, funny, and loving little boy.
