Hello Santa

 

Meeting Santa went really well.  There was no crying. G smiled and T went right up to him and sat on his lap. T asked for a Polar Express Train.  I don't know what that means.  He loves the Polar Express book.  The movie is a little too intense for a 2 year old.  He watches a lot of it with his hands over his eyes.  But he keeps saying the Polar Express train is going to come and looking out the window for it.  I'm not quite sure how Santa is going to pull that one off!

Bath Time

We recently started putting G in the bath with T.  I was a little nervous because I was scared to T knocking her over and splashing her too much.  She was so excited when she got to take her first bath in the "big kid" bath.  She just splashed and laughed.  It made me feel bad for not doing it sooner.

 

 She has taken a few spills...luckily someone is right there to catch her.  She recently started scooting around on her bum.  When she tries to do it in the bath it turns out to be too slippery.

The little joys in life that make kids so happy.  She also recently started sitting in the cart at the grocery store.  We also got the same excited reaction, minus the splashing of course. You can't help but smile when you see the pure joy and excitement on their faces.

It's the Holiday Season

The week continued with all of our Thanksgiving plans.  Which included turkey lunch at D's work and turkey dinner at a friends home on Wednesday.  Then driving down to Oly. to be with my family for more turkey on Thursday.  It was a wonderful Holiday celebration! We have so much to be thankful for!  We have beautiful healthy kiddos that keep us smiling everyday.  And a wonderful support system of family and friends.  Thank our dear Father in Heaven for all of your blessings!

As Thanksgiving ended things quickly change to Christmas....yay!  I love pulling out all the decorations each year and filling our home with the warm and love of Christmas.  I was especially excited to see the kids reactions to the decorations.  T loved helping decorate the tree.  G just continues to look and smile at all the lights.

T is just learning all of the Christmas traditions.  We are having fun telling him all the stories of Santa Claus and Baby Jesus being born.  He may not understand it all yet.  But you can still see the excitement on his face.
