Today mom took some pics of us for the Christmas card and since we were already dressed up she decided to take us to see Santa!

Mom pumped me up by telling me I can tell him what I want for x-mas (a toy blender and a car garage). She also told me how nice he is and I only have to sit on his lap for 5 seconds (I guess every year I cry when I sit on his lap).

So the time came and I sat on his lap WIDE EYED and not quite sure…Paige..she LOST it (she never minded before-with the Easter Bunny). I held it together but when Santa asked me what I wanted..I drew a blank (yet I will tell you everyday, all day what I want). I stared and stared at him until mom helped me out (Thanks Mom!). Unfortunately no red slide to go down and finally build up the courage to stop and tell him-mom had to do it. But I walked away with a candy cane!

So our visit with Santa was quite an adventure (mom put the pacifier in Paiges mouth so it wouldn’t look too bad in the pic of her crying:>)

Dad will scan the pic for us and it will be up soon for your enjoyment:>

Today I was helping mom set up the Christmas tree. I dropped an ornament and said “Damnit!”

In unrelated news, mom is mad at daddy.

It was really cold at our house when we got home after Thanksgiving. We turned the heater on, but the thermostat was broken..oh no! It was really cold so dad made a fire, well the wood was smoky and the fireplace was cold so dad had to move the lit fire to the outside. Man was house filled with smoke! And I sure was cold in the night time with all of our windows open, but it didn’t stop me from watching the mickey mouse clubhouse cartoon. Don’t worry – everything is fixed now.

Mom’s teaching me what all the letters say…I’m getting good at it.

I can stand up now! I still need help of tables and other things around the house, but I’m getting there. Oh, I also like to pull the hat over my head. The other day we were driving and mom almost had to pull over because I was mad the hat was over my eyes!

Dad took me and Paige to Half Moon Bay. It was pretty cold so we just walked along the bluff. I started to get sad and say I wanted to play in the sand, but dad convinced me that the cliffs were cooler! The rest of the day I talked about the cliffs! In case your wondering, Paige had fallen asleep by the time dad took this picture.

On Friday we went to Grandma and Grandpa’s house to visit! We had a great time seeing everyone! Can you tell I’m good at making Grandma laugh?!

On Friday we went to a birthday celebration for my cousin Nicholas 3rd Birthday! Serafina taught me how to roll over the giant exercise ball from standing on a chair, and Nick got a ladder that we all took turns climbing after grandpa hung it in the front yard. We also had CAKE my favorite!!!!! Happy early birthday Nicholas!

On Thanksgiving Day we were at Gram and Pap’s house-my first Thanksgiving! Mom’s side of the family was there! Drew got to do one of his favorite things-COOK! Next year I will be able to eat the yummy Thanksgiving dinner, thanks Gram!

Thanksgiving morning we helped Gram cook and also helped her out by trying to get out of her way:> We went on a walk with Keeper (gram and paps’ dog). I was able to make a turkey pumpkin!!!
