It Was the Weekend Before Christmas

We have had our usual inch or so of snow and several days of sunshine pattern for the last few weeks. It makes it nice to be able to take the girls outside even in the winter.

It's nice to have Daddy home for two full weeks!

This morning we went to Breakfast with Santa at the Wildlife Experience.

The food was pretty tasty. The girls got chocolate milk which is a rare occasion around here! We grownup-types got mimosas! We sat with a very nice family and had a great conversation.

Mia made reindeer dust that she can sprinkle on the lawn Christmas Eve to help Santa find his way to our condo.

Mr. Snowman, I want to touch you so much but I'm such a chicken nice girl. You might explode or something if I do!

Santa was great! Mia is really enjoying the whole Santa Claus thing. And we are not beyond reminding her of the naughty list!!

He encouraged us to get a picture of Anna on his lap even though she was vehemently shaking her head no! But you know what, she calmed down for about 30 seconds as he whispered in her ear.

Santa told Mia she could not have a real puppy for Christmas. Thank you, Santa! You rock!
