Ho ho ho...Last weekend we had breakfast with Santa Clause at the Masonic Lodge. Since Owen is the oldest, we let him go first on Santa's lap....little did we know that he was a bit shy. (We practiced the night before...I guess I didn't make a very good Santa). Maggie sat on his lap without any hesitation. Once Maggie had her little babble session with Santa, Owen was a little more confident to climb up into his lap. He told him he wanted a new tractor for Christmas. Owen caught wind that Santa was going to be in town again (this time at the bank, different Santa, of course!) The second time around, Owen knew exactly what to do....he climbed right up on Santa's lap and told him he needed a new loader. Santa asked him if he really knew what a loader was and he replied, "I feed cows with Bapa. We need new loader." Santa asked him what color. Owen grinned and told him "gween."
Maggie really isn't asleep. She babbled his ear off. We didn't quite catch what she wanted for Christmas. She already has her two front teeth....she probably wants all those other ones that make her gums swollen to come in.
Here's Owen putting the first ornaments on the tree. They didn't stay on. Somebody kept taking them off, so we just put all the ornaments away for another year (or two. or three.)
Owen of course has to be Daddy's little helper. We are just about ready for the holiday season. One more week of work and then some time off. We discovered however, that with our snowday and keeping the kids home it really was more work taking care of them and running (literally) after them, than our actual jobs. We did manage to go sledding on our snow day....
