AND the excitement builds. . .

Who would think that you would see Santa Claus in the Dollar Store? What a personable Santa. He asked them what they wanted for Christmas, called them by name and even told them he knows they put out reindeer food. It was great!

We had a Christmas exchange with our friends, Lucy, Jonas, Gino, Reagan and Nico. It was so much fun.

We made wreaths (well the moms made most of them). We hung them on their bedroom door.

Annie and Jack decorated the tree themselves. Notice all the ornaments at the bottom! Some branches have 5 or 6 ornaments. We left it that way. It is perfect!

Fletcher has a snack with Jack and Annie.

Jack's favorite thing to do is dig in the dirt. Daddy made him a big dirt pile with his tractor.

Annie loves to ride horses. She is riding the neighbors horse, Lucy.

This year Christmas is going to be so much fun (not that last year wasn't). However, they are so excited and understand exactly what is going on. We have a little elf that hides each day in our house to watch over Jack and Annie. He flies to the North Pole each night to tell Santa if they were naughty or nice. They are so excited each morning to see where Elfie is hiding. Have a Merry Christmas!
