The Harrison Family: Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We have been a busy family with fun filled Christmas activities! This has been a great way to get the entire family into the Christmas spirit. This year is not a Renton family Christmas so I will not get a chance to spend the holidays with my family. Jeff and Kristen decided to host a Renton family Christmas with us and the kids so we could get together and celebrate and exchange gifts. It was a great day with awesome food. The kids had a great time playing with cousin Caroline. Kristen even made sugar cookies for the girls to decorate and of course it was messy but they had a blast! Here are some photos:

We decided this year to take the kids to Santas Wonderland in College Station. For those of you that do not know, College Station is where Texas A&M College is and its about an hour and 45 minutes from the house. I was told by friends it was a great time but it gets packed and so we needed to go early and on a weekday. Since Justin and I were off the week before Christmas we decided to go on Monday night. Justin and I planned all the logistics while the kids were at school and then we picked them up early and headed on our way. The kids had a blast looking at all the lights and seeing Sanata and his reindeer. I think we may make this an annual trip.... it really helps bring the magic of Christmas to life! Here are some photos and videos of our experience:

We stopped at Cracker Barrel for an early dinner before we went to Santas Wonderland. While we were eating Riley decided to belt out a solo in the restaurant. The other diners in the restaurant enjoyed her holiday songs!

Santas Elf was in Santa town and he met with each kid and evaluated their behavior and told them if they made the naughty or nice list.... Riley Barely made the nice list but she was pleased that she made it!
