My first blog!

Sooo much to say, so little time! I always tell Joel I just want 25 or 26 hours in a day, since something is always getting put off until tomorrow.... but posting some thoughts and pics of my girls today will help me remember the important moments and what is getting done! ;)
I hope you enjoy my (our) blog, and check back anytime to see what is new!

So in celebration of the holidays I am posting this year's photo with Santa as my first post! Since seeing the holiday show at the kids' theater last week, Kenna has wanted to go see Santa, and take her baby sister! All day long, "are we still going to go see Santa"... "are we headed to the mall yet", etc. etc. We get to the Quarry, and loving that there is no line go right into Santa's workshop! Kenna takes one look at him and hides behind my back. Adelyn, who had fallen asleep in the car on the way, wakes up, so I plop her in Santa's lap - no problem. Meanwhile Santa is trying to ask Kenna what she wants for Christmas, high five, anything to get her to talk - she's ready to bolt out the door except she knows I'm not going. Then Santa pulls out a candy cane and she blurts out "But I want that!" All she wants for Christmas is a candy cane... I have obviously overspent again this year (not much Joel!) So we finally talk her into sitting next to Adelyn and holding her hand and get a "cheesy" grin out of her. Adelyn was just mesmerized by the flashing light! Then one of Santa's helpers pulls out some antlers, and you can just see Kenna light up - her hands even look like "yes!"



So, thus this was the best picture...

Happy Holidays

ya'll!
