Christmas is coming!

On Thanksgiving weekend we decorated our tree and the this past weekend we took some pictures of the kids to send out with our Christmas cards. I think we got some good shots so now I just have to decide which ones to send. We also had breakfast with Santa on Sunday morning so the kids could tell him what they want this year. Although it took a little coaxing to get Nicholas up near Santa, he was fine once he was there. Marisa was excited to go up there until she realized she would have to get close to him, then she hung onto Mom, but she talked tohim a little bit. They all were able to tell him what they want this year (wii, toy robot, toy guy, remote control helicopter, and dolls). Hopefully Santa was listening!

The boys put most of the ornaments on themselves this year and they did a nice job:

The kids are really getting into the Christmas spirit and since it snowed yesterday and last night, it is really starting to look like Christmas outside.
