MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

last year’s experience seeing santa was less than perfect. we had a two and a half hour wait to see him, emma fell asleep about half way, and we had a cranky baby when it was time to see him. soooo, as a result, she was not very happy. ;-( check out last year’s post.

this year, we changed things up a bit. we decided to go during the week and in the morning when emma is the happiest. below are some pictures of the encounter…

this is emma telling santa what she wants. so far, she has requested a cake (yes, a cake) and animals. santa had some coloring books with him, so she asked for one of those when she saw them, too.

next we did the transfer. i quickly slid emma from my lap onto santa’s. she’s not too sure what to think of it.

and finally, emma and santa are FRIENDS!!!! yay!

holiday cookie party!

we had a cookie party last week. it was so much fun! sugar cookies in all shapes, colored icing, and sprinkles… the kids were more interested in eating the cookies than they were in decorating them. we decorated about 3 or 4 and took the rest home for later. still, it was great fun. thanks, erika!

everyone decorating…
