13DEC10

Lexi told me today, "mom, today is December 13th. The next row is going to be CHRISTMAS!" She loves the calendar at school. :) I have not done a ton of my normal "Christmas-y" stuff. Crafts, sweets, etc. I still plan on making some cookies but the other stuff I may or may not do. It's not that I haven't been in the Christmas spirit I have. Our tree is up, we have a few lights outside, my presents are almost done and mostly wrapped, our cards have gone out... I feel like with Alexis in school somehow we are MORE busy. I guess I always thought when the kids go to school life is calmer and I am figuring out that's not really true. It's not a bad thing it just makes me appreciate staying home and just hanging out as a family a lot more! Even if we're doing nothing! I did take the to the PX today to see Santa. Lex has written him about 3 different lists (always with Bubble tape at the top of the list making it an easy Christmas for Santa this year! ;) ) so we went and saw him and she gave him her list and sat on his lap. Last year she refused so I was happy to get a very sweet picture of both my girls this year. Ryan was happy to get the candy cane at the end!


And just b/c this picture is ADORABLE! Our friends from Church Tonya and Will came over to play some games (WOO HOO for games it's been a while!) They have 2 boys around the same age as Lex and Ry. I told them all to hope up on the couch for a movie and this is how they sat. I just thought it was so cute brothers on one side and sisters on the other. Thanks for hanging with us Shomakers! :)
