What does Santa say, " Ho, Ho, Ho."

Max was so excited about Santa this year.... really I am serious:) We ask him what Santa says, and he puckers up his lips and says Ho...Ho...Ho. It is so super funny. So when Santa came to our cousin, friend Christmas party he did pretty good.... no tears just a lot of staring. Santa had candy canes and Max was trying to steal all of the other kids candy once they got their Candy cane form Santa, but you only got a candy cane if you told him what you wanted for Christmas. So Santa had to coax max up to him with the candy cane like a little fish and snagged him once he got close:) This is Max telling Santa he wanted MOM and trying to make his get away after he finally got his candy cane.

Are prayers were answered.....and we were able to travel safely, the weather turned out to be perfect so we could go visit Grandma and grandpa Lee,and everyone in our family. I was going to have a breakdown if I couldn't visit for Christmas. But my Heavenly father knew how important it was to me and mad it possible for us to all be together. We had such a blast playing in the snow for hours. Little max-o-kid was a sport and loves to tromp around in the snow for the first time. He loved it so much sledding was his favorite daddy pulled him around and he just giggled.

Here we are a bunch of ice sickles freezing our fannies off. We were not used to the cold or the snow, but it was so fun to play as a family and to have Max experience the snow. We all loved it and had lots of fun.
We had a Merry Christmas and were so grateful to be with family around the Holidays. We love you all and had so much fun hanging out with you. Max loves his cousins and aunts and uncles they make him laugh so much. We miss you all and love all you do.

Cop cars, sirens and tears:)

Have you ever locked your child in the car? Well I'll have to admit it just happened to me:( Here you go Brother here are the pictures. Sorry they are so late.
See this is why we were in the car. Max wakes up every morning and the first thing that he says is TRUCK. Thanks to Grandpa Lee my child is addicted to trucks cars, four wheelers, basically anything with a horn, wheels and a stearing wheel. So Max every morning would rather play in the car than his toys.

This is the first 5 minutes of beeing lock in the car. He was running away from me to the other side. He thought he was funny. Finally I got him back over to me and this is him pointing to the unlock button but had no idea what we were talking about
"Mom this isn't funny get me out of here." Max really getting mad at this point it had probably been 15 minutes. Rusty and our good frieand Mike the detective/cop friend of ours came to rescue us. He came pulling up with his lights and sirens.... I was so mad ... Just let the wholw world know I locked my kid in the car:)

Finally after like a half an hour we got the little rascal out> Mike gave max a trauma teddy bear and he felt lots better. Sorry Buddy I love you I'll never lock you in the car again.
