Santa Claus is coming to town.....


So, I must say my blogging has lacked over the last month! There are a multitude of reasons, to include the fact I've been picking up a few extra shifts at the hospital, the family has been sick so we haven't been doing much, and my children are having moments where they absolutely protest having their pictures taken. My camera doesn't capture pictures well with kids running away!

We did have a very exciting Sunday this week. Our local Bass Pro Shops has a Christmas Wonderland set up to start the holiday season. We spent 2 hours playing games, climbing in and out of boats, playing in pretend snow and most exciting, seeing Santa. Alyssa was absolutely thrilled to talk to Santa and sit on his lap! It's the first year in her existence that she didn't scream at the sight of the man in the big red suit! She jumped right up into his lap and said, "Santa, do you want to come over to my house for milk and cookies?" So precious! I'm pleased that she didn't go into the million toys she is already asking for out of the numerous toy catalogs I've received!

Jaden, on the other hand, wanted nothing to do with Santa. He was memorised by the fake, glittery snow and the toy train set up. He was happy as can be to walk around and touch the snow! From the likes of Alyssa, he may have a few more years until he'll be sitting on Santa's lap!
