Gettting in the Christmas Spirit!

Last Saturday was a fun filled day of Christmas stuff! The day started out with Matt and I hitting the mall for our one day of Christmas shopping. We fight the crowd, stop at PF Changs for lunch and try to knock out the final things on the list. And honestly always have a great time doing it. I had told him he could stay home this year but he surprised me by jumping right in the car with me.

After we conquered the mall we headed to Frankfort to attempt to make candy with Nana. Making candy with a 10 and 2 year old is quite entertaining for sure!

We stopped for a break around dinner to head down to Buffalo Trace to see some lights and to meet Santa. The boys even left the UK/UNC game to go with us. The funniest moment of the night happened as we were leaving. Alex had heard us all telling the guard lady good night and Merry Christmas so when he got across the street, he stopped, turned back to the lady and yelled, "Hey lady! Have a Christmas!" It had to be one of the funniest things I have heard yet come out of his mouth.

After we made it back home, Sandy, John and Kathy came by and the chaos just grew but fun was had by all.

Mom and I had to set back together on Sunday to finish up the candy but when all was said and done we managed to make bourbon balls, peanut butter balls, haystacks, peanut butter roll, cookies, fudge and chocolate covered pretzels.

Here are a few pictures I snapped during the fun:

Working hard on the peanut butter.

Time to roll up the balls.

Me asking Reagan to show me her peanut butter ball.

And then I asked Alex to show me his.

Reagan laughing at how many adults it takes to make fudge.

The official taste tester. Once she got a taste of the peanut butter roll she wouldn't leave the room.

Chilling with Santa. When Santa asked him what he wanted, his response was to point at the big bowl of candy canes and say, "that!".

Goofy child.

I wonder how much longer she will humor me with pictures with Santa.
