Christmas Activities

We have been busy preparing for Christmas. Holden went to visit Santa a couple of weeks ago. We got his pictures taken by them, but I kind of like this one that I took better, guess I should have saved my money.

Here are a couple of pics of Holden helping us decorate the tree. He thought that decorating it was a lot of fun, and he also enjoys taking the ornaments off and re-hanging them througout the day. Needless to say, the bottom two feet of our tree is very well decorated.

Another favorite of his is watching the Christmas train go around. He could watch that train all day and be perfectly happy.

Tonight the three of us went on a Cougar Alumni holiday lights cruise on Lake Coeur d'Alene. Holden thought all of the lights were great, but the best part was getting to see Santa Butch. Luckily, Holden is pretty good around Santa and other characters, as long as we stay fairly close.

Halloween

I have been checking out everyone else's Halloween pics and blogs and thought it was finally time to get one going myself. We took Holden to the pumpkin patch and he had a great time. He chose his pumpkin (not this green one, it was just a cute pic), played in a "sandbox" that was filled with dried peas, and even got to feed a goat. He also really enjoyed carving his pumpkin. He wasn't even grossed out while cleaning out the pumpkin guts.

Holden had a great time this year with all of the Halloween celebrations. He, much like Jackson Fry, is very into trains at the moment and dressed up as an engineer (It appears that their costumes are nearly identical). I took him to Chris's work, my work, and to visit my mom at her work, and then we went trick-or-treating at two houses. He still got more candy than he will ever need. He thought that handing out candy to all of the kids was great.
