It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas...

Last night we went to the kids' school where Santa and Mrs. Claus were there to meet the children. Austin wasn't as excited as Madison was (starting to doubt the whole Santa deal)... but Madison hopped right up on the big guy's lap and told him she really wanted a Baby Alive for Christmas this year. Austin finally smiled for a picture when i told him he wouldn't get any cookies afterwards if he didn't smile nice. (bribery never hurts when you want a good picture) Then the kids shopped at Secret Santa's Shop to buy each other a gift and one for mom and dad. By the time we left the school the snow was really starting to come down. It was so beautiful and sparkly coming down. The first snow is always fun and gorgeous. Believe me by February I won't be describing the snow with those words anymore. The kids had a ball playing in the snow after school with their friends



This is Austin trying to explain to Santa what "Tech Deck" is since that is what he wants for Christmas. By the way... if anyone knows what that is, please fill me in...



The kids are very excited that we actually have a fireplace for Santa to come down on Christmas Eve. It's our first year "our stockings were hung by the chimney with care"

Here is our Beautiful Christmas Tree... notice the snow on the tree outside the window. I love it!!!

Tech Decks...they are those little skateboards that you flip around with your fingers. They're tiny skateboards. You can find them at Wal-Mart in the boy aisle!

Your tree looks so pretty in front of the window with all the snow behind it!

Hope Madi and Austin have been good this year so they get what they want from Santa!

Yeah Sandovals first Christmas in the new house! How exciting. Everything looks so pretty. It makes me just a little sad that I won't see it.
