25 Days of Christmas--Day 1

Since I'm unemployed and have a bit more free time than usual on my hands, I've been putting together 25 Days of Christmas for the boys. We bought a wooden tree advent calendar...

...and each day's drawer will hold a small hint about that day's Christmas activity. I'll try to keep up with our 25 day on here, so let's start with day 1. Here's the first hint:

 What does that mean? Santa, of course! So we headed over to Swanson's Nursery, where we have gone for the last few years for Santa pictures. They also have reindeer, a camel and a big toy train set up. Simon has been VERY excited for this trip, so we thought this would be a good way to kick off the month. Here are a few shots from this morning, including the professional shot and a bunch of our own.

Until tomorrow!
