All I Want For Christmas Is.......

We finally went to see Santa today! We pulled up to his house, and Landon was so excited, but as we entered into his house, he go a little scared and gave the go ahead for Carson to go first. It was so funny to watch Carson, you could tell he was trying so hard to answer his questions, as well as trying to get a really good look at him. (He has been asking a lot of questions this year.) It makes me so sad that he does not have much longer, but I think he will make a for a great Santa's helper:) Next it was Landon's turn, he sat on Santa's lap and of course got very shy, but did rather well. I think he was glad though when his turn was over. Then it was Miss Abby's turn, and like we thought, she did not want anything to do with him. He asked her what she wanted from a distance, and that seemed to work for her. At the end as we were getting ready to leave, the boys went to sit on Santa's lap for a picture, and Abby decided if they were brave enough to do it, then she would give it a chance. All in all, I think it went rather well. Merry Christmas!!

Santa's Bells!

I had to share this story with everyone. So last night I was soooo tired, It was about 8:30, and I was just ready for the kids to go to bed. Joe was at a meeting, and I expected him home at any minute. Well about 8:45 I was in the living room with all the kids playing Skipbo. (This is our favorite card game to play.) When out of no where we heard "Santa's bells". Yes we really did! They were checking on us to make sure we were being good, and that the kids were in bed. (Funny how Joe or I are never present when the kids hear these bells, I just hope they don't catch on anytime soon.) So we hear these bells, and Landon literally froze. I thought he was gong to cry he looked so terrified. This totally took him by suprise. I looked at both the boys, and said, "Boys, we need to finish our game tomorrow, you need to get into bed! Landon said, "I am getting out of here" and he was up and out of his chair before I even finished talking. I was trying so hard not to laugh at that cute kids. Ironically, Joe just happened to come through the door just a few minutes later. We go to tuck the kids in and Carson asks, "Mom why are we hearing bells like almost every night"? I replied, "He just wants to make sure that you are behaving this year so that he can bring you what you want for Christmas". I looked at Landon who still looked like he had seen a ghost, and asked him if he was alright. He looked straight at me and said, "Mom those bells sacred the crap out of me"! I almost fell to the ground I was laughing so hard. I looked at both of them and said that there was nothing to be afraid of if they were being good! I don't think I will ever forget that face when he heard "Santa's Bells"!
Wish us luck, we are taking the kids to actually see the big guy this weekend. We will see how brave Landon and Abby are, I just hope Carson doesn't call his bluff:)

I just had to put this cute picture on!

Gingerbread Houses

Grandma Grace had all the kids over this past weekend to make Gingerbread Houses. The kids had so much fun and it was neat to see their creativity come out. Thanks Grandma we had fun making the houses, eating the candy as we went along, getting a little messy and being with you!

Paging the ToothFairy!

I told Landon about 2 weeks ago that he was to not gorw up because I wanted him to be 5 forever! The other day as we were driving home from Utah he lost his first tooth. Guess he is growing up after all. He was so excited for the Toothfairy to come that around 10:30PM he came into the living room and told Joe and I to go to bed because we were keeping the toothfairy from coming.

Tub Time

Abby has this new thing were she wants to clean herself in the bath. It is so funny, she fills her bowl up, and dumps it right on her head, then she asks for soap to clean it. She is a nutty girl!
