We have really enjoyed our Christmas season thus far with Beckham. He loves discovering and exploring all of the new holiday activities and traditions. We are so happy to have him around to help us enjoy the little things of the Christmas season.
*We have a few nativities around here, and Jason and I have been trying to make sure to point out that the reason we celebrate Christmas is because of Christ. Beckham is very thrilled about baby Jesus. Mom gets down the special nativities and shows him the little tiny baby Jesus, which is so exciting (and I think he would think it was more exciting if he could hold the pieces). We have a large nativity of Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus pictured here on the floor. Beckham likes to point out where the baby Jesus is. Lately it has been a favorite spot around the house.
*Another favorite place at our house is the Christmas tree. And, it is very difficult for this guy to keep his hands off of it. Thankfully, we have not had an issue with him opening the gifts underneath it yet.
*We had a few snow storms the past few weeks, and snow is now on the ground. Beckham thinks the snow is pretty cool until he puts his hand in it. The cold part of snow is a little disappointing for this boy.
*As a result, we have had to spend more time inside lately, which is so hard for us. Beckham and I would much rather be outside playing at the park in the nice warm sun! In the meantime, Beckham and I have been finding new things to do around here. Lately Beckham had been hanging out on Mom and Dad's bed. Apparently, it is a nice place to play with the toys and relax.
*We have been talking about Santa and that he comes to our house every Christmas. We have a book that Beckham and I have been reading about him. Really, he couldn't care less, but he does like the book. When I tell him that Santa is coming, he just looks at me with a blank stare. Well, after a visit to Santa, I think it is safe to say that we have officially scared our child of Santa Claus. He did not like the idea of talking to a bearded man in a red suite. Hopefully, next year we will have a better experience.
He was more a fan of the powdered doughnuts that we received after talking to Santa.
*Tonight we went caroling to a few houses. It has always been a favorite tradition of mine, and I was excited to have my little family participate. Beckham just stared down the people, while Mom and Dad sung. Nonetheless, it was a fun activity for us.
We have less than two weeks for Christmas to be here, and I can't wait! Christmas season is so much fun with a little boy in our family.

He is a cutie! And tell him that the cold part of snow is pretty disappointing for me, too! :)
