We have had a fun and busy week full of Christmas errands, activities and parties.
I took the kids to see Santa Claus on Friday after school.  Lizzie was terrrified of him, she wouldn't even go inside his cozy little house.  She screamed by herself in her stroller eating her sucker.  It's a mean thing to do, but it's so funny!



All the kids ( incuding out friend Kate) sat on his lap and visited with him.  Then we brought Lizzie inside for one picture. 
She was hysterical!
Isaac said he wanted a "real bow & arrow"
Emily said "an easy bake oven"
Taylor asked for "a dog" because he knows Santa
can't bring real pets!
It was a fun activity, and all the kids were happy except Lizzie. 

This weekend was cold and on Saturday we got some snow, so we took the kids sledding at a local park.  Everyone had a great time. Elizabeth loves to sled!  She was demanding a turn down the hill on every sled.  She also loves to eat snow. 
Taylor and Emily made a big jump and tried to stand on their sleds over the jump. 

Taylor had a school music performance this week.  His class played the recorder.  It sounded great, but I didn't
get many good pics.

The kids have all been well behaved, our Elfie really works wonders. They are counting down the days until Christmas break. Hopefully it will be snowy so they can ski, sled and play in the snow.
We love this time of year and are so excited for Christmas!
