Since we were SOOOO good this year....

SANTA CAME EARLY!!!

Daddy, err.. I mean, Santa ate all the cookies, but left us these fabulous gingerbread lattes!!! So good!


Keira was SHOCKED to find that there was stuff in her stocking this morning! For the past few weeks she has been pointing at the stockings and making a game out of telling me which one belongs to Daddy, Mommy, Abbey, Bubba, and her!

Quinn enjoyed his baby M&M's container- a rattle, a chew toy, but the yummy chocolate is for big sister! Just wait until next year...

Thanks for the cool 50's diner Santa!! You really know what I like! Mommy is SO excited that it will provide hours of entertainment for me and someday Quinn!

Keep that coffee coming!

HO HO HUG???

This is why our kids are pictured separately in the Christmas card this year…

We had the same problem when we tried with the professional photographer. I thought I could surely get ONE useable picture with both kids smiling and not hitting each other, crying, screaming… not so much! As an only child, I have this fantasy image of the kids being best friends and always loving and sticking up for each other- I guess it’s because I always wished I had a brother or sister. That’s when Les calmly bursts my bubble and says “you know, they may not always get along or even like each other.” WHAT??? Oh yes they will- even if I have to make them!

So then I walk in the next day and catch them playing, sharing, smiling….
Where was this love yesterday kids???

Quinn fell asleep on the way home so I moved him into his bouncer where he slept in his coat and hat just like this for two hours!!
