Early Christmas present from Papa John & Meme

This morning Corben got to open an early Christmas gift....to prepare us for a road trip.
He opened the gift all by himself and was so happy to find....

that he can now watch his videos while in the car.

Lets hope our road trips are more pleasant!

Thanks Papa John & Meme, hurry and come see me so I can hug you!

Rolled Over!

Holiday Lights Walk & Santa

There is a neighborhood in Clovis that decorates with lots of lights for Christmas. People come and walk the streets at night to view the bright lights.

We met a group of friends from Mommy's work at Childrens Hospital to walk with and view all the pretty holiday lights.
Our family during the holiday lights walk,
Mommy is carrying Mason in the baby carrier.

One house had a fun musical dancing bear and penquins, so Corben got out of his stroller with some friends and danced along!!

Mommy & Corben and all the bright lights

One house had a Santa Claus set up and if you brought canned food donations you could take a picture with Santa.

...

Well it started out great and Santa gave Corben a candycane...

However, Corben was terrified of Santa and started screaming!

Mason's first picture with Santa Claus,

she did great so we thought maybe brother Corben would sit with Santa and sister...

wrong! Bad idea...Corben still screaming and not interested in sitting with Santa!

Oh well, maybe next year!!
