Santa's Coming!

 We had one of our favorite annual Christmas traditions at the first of the month. We love going to Aunt LarRene's house. This year instead of decorating Gingerbread houses we made Christmas trains out of candy. They loved this and came up with some great creations. They were easier to eat afterwards too. Chloe had a great time bossing Laramie around decorating hers.

 Then we had one of our favorite visitors come. Hayden is looking a lot older sitting on Santa's lap this year. He was excited to tell him what he wanted for Christmas. We liked it that Santa told him to make sure he was nice to his parents all month.

 Hannah told us on the way over that she was too old to sit on Santa's lap but when the time came she just counldn't pass it up. She surprised us by changing what she wanted. We are glad the magic of Christmas is still alive.

 Chloe wanted nothing to do with Santa. She cried if she even got close. She was happy to get the treat and toy. She did blow him a kiss goodbye. She has been talking about him ever since though. She sings "Santa Clause is coming to my House" and then she tells me she won't cry this time. She seems really excited about Christmas and has loved everything from decorating, wrapping presents and looking at lights. I'm sure she will love it when the actual day comes.
