The kiddos last Sunday all ready for church (Sydney wanted to wear her baptism dress instead of her Christmas dress and that ok with me!) and pics with Santa - I think this is the first time we've had no tears - at all. Not an "I don't want to see Santa"on the way there, not a pout while waiting in line, just excitement all around. And Carson - well he was thinking his dad was being a bit crazy trying to get him to smile(which he did right after they took the picture) . Sam's holding onto her letter that she wrote all by herself - so proud of her, she loves to write and her handwriting is pretty good for her age. I made Chad go back inside to get the letter back after we were all in the car - I couldn't let them throw it away! (notice her s's - love the curly-q at the end - I wonder how much her kindergarten teacher will like that next year!)
The girls are trying super hard to keep their names off the window so Santa will come visit tomorrow night. So far so good today! I spoke too soon!
Merry Christmas!!!
