A Christmas-y Weekend

Saturday morning we went to CJ & Angela’s Church to have breakfast with Santa!  The kids loved it and were both SO happy to see Santa!  No fear over here.  Ryder walked in the door, walked straight to the front of the line and hopped up on stage where Santa was.  I had to do the one arm swoop (you know where you have a baby in one hand but use all the strength in your other arm to grab them by one arm in order to avoid a crisis) and make him wait at the end of the line for his turn.  He obviously had something really important to tell Santa…again…that he really wants a boat for Christmas.  I’m starting to worry that my little Road Rippers boat that plays music isn’t going to suffice.  When he asks for a boat, he is meaning a REAL boat like the ones at Bass Pro Shop, yikes!  If Maisy could walk, I believe she would have been right behind big brother on the bee line straight for Santa.  When she sat on his lap she was all smiles, putting on quite the show up there.

Sunday we asked Angela to take a few family pictures for us.  We tried to get a good shot to use for our Christmas card, but of course it’s so hard to get both kids looking at the same time!  Here’s the cute ones we got :)
