We then braved an hour-long line to see Santa. While getting a smile out of Jordan proved to be a difficult task, he was perfectly content to just sit on Santa's lap and touch his beard. "Ho ho" has become a common phrase heard around our house lately.
A week ago, the fun continued as we decorated our Christmas tree. Jordan LOVES the Christmas tree, and has fun putting his own "ornaments" on the tree (i.e. his Batman figure, a chip clip, hangers, etc.). He also helped Mom put the Nativity scene up, and likes to point out Baby Jesus and the animals. He gets a kick out of finding different ornaments on the tree when we ask him to look for them. And he loves the lights - one of his favorite things is a lit-up train display in our neighbor's yard.
This past week, Jordan created some more Christmas memories. On Wednesday, Jordan went to St. Cloud to visit Grandpa and Grandma. While he was there, he had so much fun venturing through the snow to see all of Grandpa Ken's Christmas light displays in the yard.
Finally, today we went to downtown White Bear Lake, where you can visit Santa and take a horse-drawn carriage ride. Jordan saw his friend Brevin as we waited in line for the carriage ride. Brevin showed him how to throw snow in the air, which kept Jordan occupied until it was our turn to ride in the carriage. Jordan was fascinated by the ride, as horses are some of his favorite animals. When the ride was over with, Jordan was allowed to pet the horse and give him kisses. From there, we went to see Santa. This time Jordan ran right up to Santa when his turn came. It was still difficult to get a good smile out of him, but you could tell he loved Santa.
It has been a fun month so far, and we look forward to even more fun with family and friends in the weeks to come as we celebrate our Savior's birth!
