Christmas 2015

We had a wonderful Christmas.  We left on Tuesday, December 22 and went to Knoxville, where we had the opposite of a white Christmas.  It was 70 degrees and pouring on Christmas day.  Still, we had a wonderful time visiting with family and enjoying the season.

Excited to go to TN

Bunk Beds!!!

Olivia outgrew her bed a few months ago. Because she had a mini crib, rather than a full-size crib, our big girl needed something new.  While we searched and debated, she slept in the ole' Pack n Play.  But we knew she could not stay in there forever.

The solution? Bunk beds. I have always said that if we ever got bunk beds, I wanted the kind with stairs instead of a ladder for both safety and storage reasons.

We found exactly what we are looking for and couldn't be happier.  I think the kids agree.

Santa 2015

We went to see Santa Claus at the Millennia Mall on Friday night.  I know it is a bit early, but I have learned the trick: if you go before Thanksgiving, there is no line.  If you go after?  2 hour minimum.  My kids are not going to change much in the next few weeks, so we went.

Will was perfect.  He could be the poster child for Santa pictures.  He asked Santa for a training wheels bike and a Millenium Falcon.

Olivia?  Well, at first she did not realize that she was sitting next to "the big man", but you can see where she figures it out.

Poor baby.  In time, she will learn to love Santa Claus.
