Sunday: Church, Santa, Game Night

Lincoln had fun with Mommy teaching Sunday School, then we lit the Advent Candle and Ms. Jeanette read the verses from Luke.  The kids really enjoyed our time together!
We had brunch then went to visit our favorite Santa at the Galleria.  The boys were super sweet, even though we had a bit of a wait.  They told him their names and ages and posed sweetly for a picture.  Lincoln told Santa that he wanted a Minion Kevin (because that's his dad's name!!!) and a Lego set.  Beau confirmed that he wanted drumsticks, a drum, and a horn.  Santa was happy to agree to each item . . . thanks Santa!!!  On a side note . . . Lincoln looks exactly like Kevin and so like a big kid, and Beau is quickly losing any baby looks that he left.  When did they get so big?!?!
We dropped off our Salvation Army Tree Angel gifts after seeing Santa and did a bit more shopping.  Daddy made us a delicious spaghetti dinner, then it was Game Night with Christmas Oreos!!!  We started with Minion Operation.  Beau squealed like crazy each time the buzzer went off.  He had so much fun!  We have plenty of time to work on his dexterity, and he'll get better at Operation the older he gets.  Luckily, he loves the sound when he doesn't get the piece out! 
Lincoln laughed the hardest I've seen in a long time while we were playing.  He was crazy tickled and made us all laugh too!  (Don't tell anyone, but he got a case of the toots each time someone sounded the buzzer on Minion Operation . . . and he couldn't stop laughing!) 
We played several rounds of Minion Operation, Chutes and Ladders, and the Berenstain Bears Sharing Game.  It was a super fun Game Night, and Christmas Oreos made everything a little more festive!  In this busy holiday season, we had fun taking a break to just have fun together.
