Katie has asked Santa Claus for one thing - a Cinderella doll (exactly like the one she already has) with a pink dress (her's has a blue dress). Speaking of Santa Claus, we had the best experience with him! Rick was out of town a couple weeks ago and, idiot that I am, I decided to take both kids to Cracker Barrel by myself. So, as we are walking in, Katie is already having some type of little whining fit, and we sit down and she is back to back with the local "real Santa" - authentic hair and beard and belly! She is ecstatic and he hears her "whispering" - "mommy - it's really him!" So he turns around and does the usual, "What do you want for Christmas...." But then, he tells her that she needs to be sweet to her mom and eat her vegetables because he'll be watching!!!!!!!!!!!! Hallelujah! I almost asked him if he would come spend the night, or at least hang out until teeth brushing and bedtime stalling was over! Santa is the bomb. There really ought to be one at every restaurant and at church!
Anyway, I guess that's all I have to say! I hope your days are merry and bright! If we are headed your way, we can't wait to see you! If we aren't, we'll miss you! Happy Holidays!
