Dear Santa ...

Even though we didn't sit on your lap and tell you what we want for Christmas we can't for you to come! Only a few days left ... Hope you all are getting as excited as we are

A Visit To Santa ...

We took the girls to visit Santa so they could tell him what they wanted for Christmas. We had it all rehearsed and they were ready. Emily was excited to tell him about the baby doll she wanted.

Claire was just happy to be getting the candy cane. She is terrifed of sitting on his lap and we told her all she had to do was go in the little house and say hello ... so she was ready!

Then we actually got inside and all bets were off. The tears started and both girls had a death grip on us. Emily did manage to say her name, but they were not sitting on his lap. Oh Well - maybe next year!

Future Rock Star!

Claire rockin' out on the drums!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We spent Thanksgiving in Michigan at the Hein's house.

It was so fun to spend time with mommy's family!

There were lots of games ...

Fun At The Market

So we found a new favorite at the Children's Museum ...

I always thought the Egypt exhibit was for older kids but it turns out it has a great market and coffee house.

The girls had blast playing with all the food ... thank goodness for all the nice parents who excepted all the treats they made for them :)
