Winter time fun!

We've had an exciting month so far! We've been busy with work, school, Santa & Christmas coming. Seems like this year just sneaked past us! Where did November go?!

We wrote some letters to Santa and he wrote back! The kids were pretty excited, although Vincent kept asking me "What is taking Santa so long?!" So we made a calendar to count down for him. He's very excited to see if Santa brings the new truck he's been asking for and Mia keeps asking for "Cinderella!"

We went to our Rec Center's X-mas party and Mia jumped up on Santa's lap and started smiling away and told him what she wanted. You can see the pictures below. Vince wasn't quite as keen on him till he saw Mia sitting there and once Gabe threw him on Santa's lap he got over it; a little... The last picture kind of captured their personalities- Vince is being shy and Mia is being cute.

Well, gotta get back to babysitting, cards, cookies and packing for a weekend in West Virginia!

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Santa wrote us back!!


Wonder what kind of pudding Mia was eating?!


Vince took a picture of mommy and daddy- I wasn't expecting it to
really turn out so I look weird...

"Well Santa, we've been TRYING to be good..."
