We took the girls to see Santa last week. We have chosen not to do the Santa thing and focus on Jesus and family during this time of year, but I still had to get a picture of Brooke in Santa's lap. It was interesting trying to explain to Kayla and Macy that Santa isn't really going to deliver your presents, but he will probably ask you what he should bring. Kayla really does understand, but when people ask her about Santa she just freezes up. Macy doesn't really think about it one way or another, although when we were waiting to see Santa one of his helpers asked the girls what Santa always says. Macy thought for a minute and replied. "Happy Thanksgiving!" Anyway, the first time we tried to see Santa we went on a day when school was cancelled. Bad idea. I wasn't about to wait an hour with 3 little girls just for a photo-op. We tried again the next morning and only waited about 10 minutes. I'm so glad we did because I love this picture of Brooke. Classic.
One COLD night we went to see Lights of Life. Of course we parked next to the pony rides and of course Kayla had to ride one. She is really loving horses these days. She had a great time.
They fed the animals.
Macy decided right before we left that she wanted to ride a pony too. She enjoyed it for a minute or two, but then decided she wanted OFF.
After we finally warmed up in the car we stopped for the usual "Hot To Go" Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
We had our second annual Christmas Eve brunch at our house this year. Last year most everyone couldn't come due to work or sickness so it was a small crowd. This year we had a house full and we were so glad that the Andersons were able to join our family gathering. Of course I forgot to take any pictures, but Marc did snap a few of me and the girls making some homemade cinnamon rolls.
Jack left his sunglasses over here and Kayla put them on Brooke. She knew she was cute.
