Dear Santa.....

We had a wonderful Christmas this year!

(More about that in posts to come)

But I thought I would blog about what was going on in our house the days leading up to Christmas!

Josh and I took the kiddos to the Southdale Santa.

(Lets just say that I had to buy daddy a new sweater just so his evil looks wouldn't beam me down right there in the mall as he waited in line for 2 1/2 hours.  I attempted to entertain the kiddos during that time.  We rented a fun little stroller that Reese LOVED, and everyone in the mall seemed very entertained by our mini santa driving the racecar stroller.  We got there and waited for an hour, were 5 people away and then Santa took a 1 hour and 15 minute lunch break.  Man....sometimes I don't even have time to inhale a bite of food or pee on my 'breaks.'  I guess there are perks for being Santa!

Attempting to entertain these two.

LOVING this stroller

Having fun riding the boat!

Alllll smiles (unlike daddy at this time :)

We got a pretty cute pic of santa saying 'ho ho ho!!"

Reese didn't quite know what to think of his beard and Carter was Very Excited to talk to Santa this year.  He told Santa he had been a good boy and he wanted a 4 wheeler, tractors and a REALLY BIG snow plow.  He also told santa he didn't need a leap pad anymore because Nana and Grandpa Jeff got that for him.
