Holy Snow

Bundled up Luca, loving the snow.

Ladies Outing

The boys napped.

The ladies walked to the holiday

craft fair down the block.

She was very excited to bring her

purse along, just like mom.

Max

A whole week with Max at our house,

happy kids.

messy floors.

i don't think we're ready for a dog.

Santa

Ava was excited to see Santa this year.

(remember the last two years of

pouting/scared face and screaming toddler)

She told him that she wants princess toys,

princess dresses and princess movies.

Imagine that.

Luca watched Santa for a long time with a furrowed brow. He eventually sat with him after Santa asked lots of questions about Woody and Buzz who came along. Luca, who of course was wearing his Buzz Lightyear shirt, told Santa that he wants Buzz toys.

Again, no surprises there.

After the photo shoot I received a compliment from Santa on my great psychology of reasoning with Luca to get in the picture. Hilarious. Thanks Santa.

Bring on the Snow Gear

We remembered, very quickly, what a pain in the butt

snow pants, hats, mittens and scarfs are.

It takes three times as long to

leave the house in the winter months.

I am so not ready for winter.

The kids are very ready for it.
