It's Santa!

"Going to see Santa"

Caleb was really excited to get to tell Santa what is on his "wish list".
Bella, on the other hand, wasn't too impressed with Santa.
However, I was about as happy as she was after waiting almost two hours to see Santa for less than two minutes.
And believe it or not, it was David's idea to take the kids to see Santa....not mine!

Our two Christmas trees

Holiday Mail for Heroes

"Holiday Mail for Heroes"

My sister gave me the link to sending Christmas cards to service members.
I let that be a project for Caleb and he loved it. We traced his hand and wrote, "Hi-5 to my Hero!" along with other merry salutations. Plus it gave him the oppurtunity practicing writing his name.
