Santa Time!

We went to The Woodlands Lighting of the Doves ceremony today so Hudson could see Santa Claus!  Somehow, he got it in his head that both Spiderman and Santa would be there even though we told him a thousand times it would only be Santa.  He wasn't willing to accept that it would just be Santa.  We waited until it stopped raining and headed out to enjoy the festivities.  We tried some fried oreos but decided regular oreos were much better.  Then we grabbed a good Santa watching spot and watched some performance on the stage while we waited.  When it was time, Santa arrived by boat from the riverway.  Santa came up on stage and read The Night Before Christmas to the kids.  Then they lit up the doves and there was a nice fireworks display.  After that, we finished getting our Christmas lights.  This is the first year for us to put lights up on our house!  The first year we had just moved in and had Hudson so we just didn't have a chance to go get lights.  Last year we didn't start looking for them until November and every store was sold out of the kind Jason wanted to get.  This year he went early to get them but once he started putting them out he realized they weren't the right kind so we had to go exchange them!!  Now we are good to go and Jason has been super busy making our house look pretty and festive!
