Busy time of year!

I think it all hit home that Christmas was coming quickly when we had a visitor stop by a week before his big trip

One by one the kids got their chance to tell Santa exactly what they wanted...and I'm sure you know, BUT Santa's helpers are in the mall, but the REAL Santa comes to your home when you have been super good all year.

This fact makes the kids so very happy since he has come every year since 2000. And they seem to always get just what they wanted.

Tenley on the other hand was only okay if that guy was clear across the room!!! She even yelled at him for touching her daddy when it was time for their picture.

I love this picture because in the last few weeks, it's the only time I remember sitting down. :)
