Holiday Fun!

I think I have figured out what made Aggie fall asleep at the dinner table....just good 'ol holiday fun!

She likes to try on everyone's boots and winter clothes

We had our first Day Care Holiday Program



Grandpa gave horsey rides and Adam & Aggie learned how to say "Giddy Up!"

We met Santa on a Street Car! We paid $.50 cents per person and took a 15 minute ride around down town Kenosha. We had the street car to ourselves!! I couldn't believe that no one else knew about Santa's visit. Needless to say we sang every Christmas song we could remember including Jingle Bells a couple of times.

Check out Aggie's eyes staring at Santa....Although there were no tears, I wonder if she is thinking...."Hmm, What's this jolly 'ol fellow up to?"

We all joined in the fun telling Santa what we wanted for Christmas!

Look how comfortable Adam is!

Aggie is still checking out Santa!

...and if meeting Santa wasn't enough, then we went on a Sleigh Ride! I wish we had a little more snow because the ride was a little bumpy. However, it was another opportunity to sing more carols "laughing all the way!"

Our friends from Colorado came all the way to Kenosha for their first sleigh ride!

What a great day!

Merry Christmas Everyone! Merry Christmas!~

Love the pictures. And what a great way to visit with Santa! Chris just reminded me last night that he still needs to visit with Santa yet this year... Ooops! Not winning any mother-of-the-year awards over here! Have a great Christmas!

Oh wow. THAT looks so festive. I spent the day in 68 degree, sunny weather picking up 200 lbs of sandbox for the future kids' sandbox. It just doesn't feel very Christmasy after seeing photos like you posted.

I'm just curious - you already have two beautiful children, so what did you wish from Santa when you sat on his lap? :-)

Beautiful photos!
