Preparing for Christmas!

We had a lot of fun in the days leading up to Christmas and it was especially nice because Joel had some half days from work!

We went to Shady Brook Farm in PA to visit with Santa (again) and to see some holiday lights.

Titus has been a good sport with Santa this year...no tears!

They have an amazing light display here and we were in awe the whole time. Next year we will have to try one of the hayrides through the lights!
Since all of our family is far away and I took advantage of Amazon Prime free two day shipping, we received a lot of packages. I probably could have saved some money and just given Titus some boxes and wrapping product for Christmas.
My sweet, best friend Kelly was set to spend Christmas in NYC with her dog, Kota. I figured that we lived close enough that if she couldn't go home to VA she had to come here. I braved the NYC traffic and drove our huge tank of a SUV into the city, picked them both up, and we had a great Christmas together!
