Merry Christmas Santa

Paul and I thought this would be the year that we might have trouble with Brooke and Santa. She actually loves to talk about him and find him in books and ads, and even enjoys his presence ..... from a distance. We attended a Christmas Party on Saturday night and Santa made a visit with an early gift for each girl and boy. Brooke was happy to take her present from an arm's length away, but was NOT interested in sitting on his lap or standing any closer for a photo. OH WELL!! Thanks to Greg, Tina, and Gregory for a really fun time!

"Look at the pretty snow, its beautiful"

That's what Brooke said when we took her to the window this morning to see what had fallen after she headed off to bed. We were able to get her to wait to break out the sled until AFTER church. Brooke, Daddy, and Storm had lots of fun playing in the yard. Brooke repeatedly told Daddy "hurry, hurry, hurry" I guess he wasn't going quite fast enough with that sled!
