I love Christmas time and all the chaos that goes with it, the parties, the food and drinks, the decorations and lights, the cute outfits and the excitement and anticipation of Santa's arrival. This year's preparation for Santa has been a lot of fun. Thankfully Papa Bob has Santa's phone number so the girls had the chance to get Santa and his elf's on the phone to talk about how "good" they've been!

We also had big birthday to celebrate this month....Ally turned five on December 14th. Dave took her out of school for a day of fun...they went to Incredible Pizza for lunch and then to see the movie The Princess and the Frog. And, that night we all went to Our Lady of the Snows for dinner and to see their Christmas lights!

As always, it was another busy month so there are a lot of pictures to share, I also included our Christmas cards that we sent out this year. I did four different designs so I thought I would post all of them.

I hope everyone had a great holiday and we are looking forward to ringing in 2010.

Fun Photos

I found this new toy online so I wanted to try it out so I used some more pics from our picture day last month!

Santa Baby

The girls had their Winter Festival last week at The Goddard School. It's a fun night for all, they have a lot of activities for the kids like cookie and ornament decorating, crafts, the chance to run from classroom to classroom with their school friends and the ever eventful picture with Santa.

Now, Emma and Ally are professionals, they smile and get in and get out when it comes time for Santa pictures but Kate is still learning, she talked a good game all day about sitting on his lap and even put on a brave face as we waited for our turn to get next to the big guy...everything was going as planned and then Santa's helper placed her on his lap and the mood changed quickly to panic, then screaming then hysterics, good times, good memories and a great photo! Here are some pics from the night:
