Preparing for the Holidays 2020

 

The week before Thanksgiving, we stopped in at Bass Pro to check out the decorations and stop and see Santa. I figured the earlier the better so we wouldn't be caught up in crowds!

Reservations had to be made online with reserved 15 minute slots - temperature check at the beginning of the line, and everyone wearing masks - they were allowing the kids to remove them to actually "talk" to Santa and take the picture with the plexiglass between them. 


You can barely make out the glass separating the kids and Santa, but it's there!


The boys asked for Lego sets and Candy.... oh, and Kade asked to see what was behind the closed door of Santa's house. 

Our brand new ornament from our February Disney trip. Yup, that about sums up this year.  


December 1st brings ADVENT CALENDARS! Lego advent calendars and Trader Joe's chocolate doors to open every night after dinner. 



This year, Moose gets his own Advent Calendar too!!


We may have spruced a few up with his absolute favorite thing - whipped cream. :) 


Our dining room Christmas tree holds all my White House Ornaments. This year, I added all the pearl garland from my mother in honor of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I know my Mother would approve as well. 


We made sure we still dropped our letters off to Santa's mailbox in downtown Cary! (Brock did ask like three times before he let go of the letter, confirming this was NOT a trash can)
