We have our tree decorated, we have our house decorated, we have snowflakes, garland and lights hanging from door frames, we have our stockings on the mantle - we are ready! Sarah made a construction paper link chain at school and they were told to take off one link each night, and when the last link is there, that means Christmas is the next day! Luke wanted one too, so we made one for his door. The only problem with his is that he keeps taking links off thinking that Christmas will come as soon as he can take them all off....so I am secretly adding more links to his to make it the right number! Ha!
We visited with Santa last Sunday afternoon. Sarah wrote out her letter to Santa, and made one for Luke as well. As soon as we got in line, not a long line, Santa came out and high fived the kids and said "I'll be back in 30 minutes!"...Break time. We waited, taking turns walking around the stores with the kids...when he did come back a family with 6 girls was first in line..they took at least 7 different posed pictures--taking about 20 minutes! Finally when they were done, each family took about 3 minutes and we got up there fine! This year was a nice picture. I need to find the past SEVERAL pictures where Sarah is screaming her head off :).
