Santa Again

Brooke getting a little more friendly with Santa.

Brooke and Presley tickling Santa's tummy.

Brooke ringing the bell. She's making strides with Santa. Will she sit on his lap?

Nope not this time either.
Well, we tried for the third time to get her to sit on Santa's lap and no luck. I guess we will give up for the 2008 year and try next year. Oh wait, they have Santa coming to the school. Do you think that will be the time? I'm not going to get my hopes up because if she hasn't done it now it probably isn't going to happen. I have enough pictures of us trying to show her when she gets older.
I have not been feeling well> I have lost my voice and am awakened by coughing in the night. I am ready for this to end. I feel like my children are suffering because I am not my normal self.
I picked up my Christmas cards and I love them. I need to feel better so I can get them out as soon as possible. I think everyone is a little behind this year because I have not received very many and usually by now I have received tons.
I am off to bed.

Ho Ho Ho!

I took the girls to see Santa at a friends house. The girls were afraid at first but then warmed up. Well, Presley warmed up and actually set on Santa's lap but Brooke wouldn't have anything to do with Santa. She wouldn't even get close to him when she was in my lap as you can see from the picture. She had more fun eating her candy cane and playing with Clay and Josh. Presley sat on his lap several times and was so content and happy. I guess one out of two isn't bad.
One of their neighbors brought over their goats to see Santa and Presley absolutely loved the goats. All of the kids were feeding "Poppy" the goat candy canes. Presley was not afraid at all she thoroughly enjoyed it. Brooke loved the goats but was too involved in eating her candy cane to feed the goats. But when the goats had to leave she cried big crocodile tears because she didn't want the goats to leave. It was so cute to see that side of my children.
Santa had to go "night night," so we had to leave. On the way home Brooke and Presley kept saying, " Ho Ho, night night." Except for Presley says, "Oh, Oh night, night."
It was so special to see the girls eyes light up when they saw all the christmas lighta and of course the goats. Santa was right there at the top of the list once they warmed up to him. Thank you to Darla and Phil for inviting Santa to their home.
It was another fun filled adventure with the girls. Thanks to Elissa for going with the girls.
