Santa and His Reindeer

When we saw Santa last weekend he let us know he would be in Dallas and would have two of his reindeer. Comet and Cupid blessed us with their presence. Cupid was a little testy and didn’t like when anyone got close to the fence. The girls thought it was neat that they got to see some reindeer. Cupid was the lighter one and Comet was the dark brown reindeer.

While we were waiting in line for Santa, they had a lot of hats sitting on the table and Presley started trying them on all by herself. Brooke quickly followed suit. They were just so precious and made me laugh.

The girls were a little disappointed last weekend when they saw Santa because they realized they forgot to ask him for a sleeping bag. So they were relieved when I told them we would be seeing Santa again. So they both asked for an American Girl Doll and a sleeping bag. We got some cute pictures with Santa and the girls were happy they got a sucker. The Mathis family met us and they all had a fun time.

They had an awesome tree so we had to get some pictures by the tree of the four of them. They were so cute and loved climbing on the big ornaments and presents.

Last was a trip to Baskin Robbins for ice cream. What a way to end our time with our friends.

We had a busy Saturday. We started our morning with a birthday party. We then headed to Dallas to see Santa and spend some time with Clay and Josh. Then we headed to the American Girl store so the girls could pick out the doll they want Santa to bring. I had never been in that store and it is a big store. You can have lunch with your doll and you can even bring your doll in to have her hair fixed or her ears pierced. Someone even told me you can send your doll to the hospital. Man how times have changed and I am glad I can experience these little things with them.

Mother, Daughter Christmas Tea

 

Here are my two favorite girls before we left for Polly and Athen’s Christmas Tea. They were so excited to see Santa so they could let him know what was on their Christmas list.

They were not shy and they let Santa know exactly what they wanted. Brooke asked for a sleeping bag and an American Girl Doll. Presley said she asked for an American Girl Doll because she would save the sleeping bag for next year. She is precious that little sweet girl of mine.

Presley was shy at first but jumped right in and got to business.

Brooke was all smiles while on Santa’s lap and she was definitely happy.

Love these times when I can get a picture of the three of us. It’s always a special time and I cherish these memories with my girls.

They both loved the punch and enjoyed drinking out of the little glasses. I think Presley drank more than her share of punch. Brooke was a big fan of the cake balls.

Presley was a big fan of the guy in the red suit. She watched him leave and even asked if he was in his sleigh or a car. Santa has left a good impression in this little girls eyes.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy Birthday Daddy! I did something different this year with the birthday cake. I went by Nothing Bundt Cake and

got everyone their own individual cake. The girls thought it was fun choosing their flavor of cake. They both chose chocolate and we bought daddy carrot cake because that is his favorite. They get so excited when we celebrate a birthday.
