Today is the first day of my kids three week Christmas vacation... yes three weeks. We'll see how we survive it at the end.
Today is the day I am going to try and get my Christmas shopping finally all finished.
Today is the day I am going to make a lot of cookies to take to people we are caroling to tonight... except the rain we have had the last 4 days might change those plans. Not really one to carol in the rain.
Last week Santa came to Alex's preschool. He read them a story, answered their questions and they all got to sit on his lap and get a picture. While Santa was reading Twas the Night Before Christmas, Alex turned to me and said "It's the real Santa!"
I hope you are enjoying this Christmas season! Do you have your shopping done yet?
lol nope!! Not even close! I wish I had all my shopping done! I think its so sweet that Alex said that! Santa was always a favorite of mine when I was younger
ReplyDeleteSuch good pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteAs for shopping...I have a few more things to pick up--I'm hoping to get them knocked out today, but we'll see!
How sweet!! My shopping has been done for about a week, but my wrapping isn't finished yet. That will happen tonight! Good luck getting everything finished.
ReplyDeleteHow can you tell if the Santa you are with is the "real" Santa? Is it by the tone of his beard?

That's really fun! Good luck getting your Christmas shopping done. You already know mine is. :) Your comment on my done picture made me happy!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fantabulous week!
Oh she is such a darling poser! I hope it stops raining so you can get the caroling done. I wish someone would carol at my house! Good luck for the next three weeks. :)
ReplyDeleteI crammed all my shopping in on Saturday and it sucked. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that Santa! I think hes the real one too!
ReplyDeleteSo cute ... and he does look like the real Santa!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes ... I'm done shopping! Woo hoo! Now I can relax and enjoy.
Well I thought I did! I have to go back tomorrow and return something. Grrr. But I am not getting up at dawn to do it. haha.
ReplyDeleteAlex is getting so big!
Well, Ryder certainly handled the Santa visit well! And Alex obviously has no problems! We took our kids today and even though Daisy has been talking about what she was going to ask Santa for for weeks, when we got up their she covered her eyes with her hands and wouldn't look at anyone! It was kind of funny! She didn't scream though so that was a plus. Good luck with the caroling! And please send some rain our way!!
ReplyDeletei do have my shopping done, but who knows how i accomplished that feat. all of the kids were costco. sean was grocery store b/c they have gift cards to everywhere. although i did take the kids on a field trip last week to his top secret extra special last minute gift that i can't wait for him to open, wink wink!!! i am still waiting for an amazon package to arrive though...hmmmm...
ReplyDeleteWhat great pictures. He makes such a great Santa. I hope you got everything done that you needed to!
ReplyDelete3 weeks?! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLove these photos too, adorable!
But as for shopping, no ... not done just yet!
Cute pics....Did Alex get her hair cut?
ReplyDeleteHe is the real Santa! Look at him!
ReplyDeleteJust FYI--used your easy pasta recipe for my dinner last week--perfect! I actually did it up in individual oven-safe bowls, and it was very well-received.
Thanks for sharing!
I love it when the real one shows up for things! And his belt buckle rocks.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the photo of Alex and Ryder. She is getting so big! Three weeks is an awfully long time . . .
