Santa

We went to Yankee Candle with Grammie and Mimi earlier in the month. Santa was in his workshop making toys for Christmas. Maddie was less than thrilled to see him out of his red suit (but the beard was the real deal). Santa wanted me to sit on his lap too. Grammie and Mimi didn't see anything wrong with this. (Am I the only one who thinks it is a bit weird?)
We got a great picture in any case.

Gingerbread House

Don't look - it is a pre-made kit (the best kind).

We have some catching up to do!

Here are some pics from Maddie's birthday party. We thought the holidays might be unpredictable and crazy this year so we actually had it the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Can't believe my baby's 3!

The picture with my brother, we all thought was a riot. He's not one for hanging out with little kids, but Hannah climbed right up and had a seat there next to him.
