We visited Santa downtown today! Seriously this is the BEST place to see Santa. No one is there to take your pictures adn charge you an arm & a leg for them, there is no one but Santa and whoever else wants to visit with him! We have waited in line for quite a while in years past, but this year there were only two families in front of us, so it was soooo quick. By the time we were done there was quite a line, not because we took to long (in fact with three kids I think we were kinda quick, Santa spends good time talking with each child) but because I think it was just "time" to see him! Elliot was very very tired and just stared at the bird that was near santa the whole time he was on his lap. We had strangers saying his name so he would look at us for a picture (I think they wanted us to be done, maybe a bit impatient). After Santa we visited with the rabbit, fish and chinchilla (I know, spelled wrong). Elliot started screaming and that was our cue to leave!
Tonight was our first Christmas party, first of many! Here are a few pics of that fun! Elliot got to open his first present. I know he just had a birthday, but he is way more excited now about the presents! He loves his MP3 player!
Looks like we are getting hit with a snow storm tonight, Matt just left to go get the snowblower from his work, since he can't shovel, we'll see how he does with that! Let's hope it works out, cuz otherwise we will be snowed in all winter!

An MP3 player even for Baby E???? You techy family! :-) Thanks SOOOO much for the gift today. I am still enjoying the smell right now- yum! And I did already down 2 pretzels as well. Great pictures- what did the other 2 get for gifts? Very cute pic of you and Matt. We are getting hit hard by snow- maybe a good morning for Santa to come to our house after all if we are stuck home.
I totally forgot about Santa being Downtown! I woner if he is still there this week??
Adorable photos of the kids. The party looks like it was a lot of fun! :)
