I got off work at 6pm on Christmas Eve and headed to my mom and dad's house. My mom fixed a great dinner and we all ate and laughed at Wade the entire time. He was quite the comedian during dinner and quite the show off! After dinner we got ready for present time. Wade had a blast and got so many great things. His two favorite things were his Handy Manny singing tool kit and his basketball goal. He didn't even want to open anything else once he got these. Josh and I also got some great things from my parents and Ashley and Zach. After presents we got Wade ready for bed (we had a little melt down about getting his PJ's on!) and then headed out for our family tradition of going to look at Christmas lights. We all piled in Josh's car and had so much fun.
This year we saw something we have never seen before. There are two house's in Cary that have somehow hooked up their Christmas lights with local radio channels. You can sit and watch a light show that goes along with the song playing on the radio. It was amazing. It was so fun to wait for a new song to come on and watch how the blinking of the lights changed. I have no idea how in the world they did this. I guess they had to play the same songs over and over again. Wade's highlight of the night was seeing "Santa." One of the house's that we stopped at to watch the light show had "Santa" walking from car to car passing out candy canes. Santa was crossing the street to come to our car and had to run across because a car was coming. All Wade has talked about for the past two days is "Santa run!" I think Wade had a great time going to look at lights.
We dropped everyone off at my parents house and headed home to put Wade to bed and get ready for "Santa." We had already put everything together ahead of time so we just had to set it all up. Josh and I had such a fun time playing Santa again this year. Here are some pictures from our Christmas Eve!
