Christmas Card, Wally, Cookie Exchange, and Santa

Here are just a few miscellaneous Christmas pics from the past few weeks.  I am in LOVE with our Christmas card this year!  My friend Erin did a little photo session with him at the end of November and I just loved all of the pictures!  My favorite is the one with his hands in his pocket, so that's what we used for our card.  I have a girl in Fayetteville, AR who does my cards for me and each time she designs one, I just love it! 

 

 

 

 
I have a mailing place I always go to because it is sooo much easier than going to the post office and there's a shop dog named, Wally there.  Pearce LOVES Wally!!  We decided to bring Wally a new bone for Christmas, so here are a few pics of Pearce giving the bone to Wally.  Wally and Pearce are buddies :)

Last week, our play group met for a Christmas cookie exchange.  The kids all came in their Christmas jammies.  They were adorable!  I made Mama Pearce's Special K cookies.  I think Pearce and I ate WAY too many cookies, but oh well!  Aubrey had a cute photo backdrop set up, so we took a little "selfie" together.

 

On Sunday, after Pearce's nap, we headed to the mall to see Santa!  Pearce was soooo excited to see him.  We practiced in the car what he was going to ask Santa for.  I told Pearce he needed to speak loud enough for Santa to hear him...so he yelled his 3 requests :)  Luckily, when he was talking to Santa, he used his normal voice :)  When it was Pearce's turn, Pearce ran right up and hopped onto Santa's lap and just started talking away.  His requests this year are a "Kenai stick" which is a walking stick from one of Pearce's favorite movies, "Brother Bear."  He also is asking for a "puter" and a basketball goal.  I bet Santa is busy making everything on Pearce's list!  After we saw Santa, we let Pearce ride a few rides at the mall and then we headed home.  It was so fun watching how excited Pearce was as well as all the other kids who were in line.  I just LOVE the magic of Christmas!!
