Santa 2014

It seemed like as soon as the turkey had been digested it was a mad dash into Christmas mode this year. We had sick babies right after Thanksgiving so that didn't help with the craziness. We decided to splurge on a new tree this year. Our old tree was tall & slender and worked great in our past houses but not in the new house. So we got a great deal on a new bigger tree and Ben was so excited to decorate it! We decided to let Ben have at that tree and decorate it how he wanted-it meant way more to him than it does to us so who cares how it looked this year right! Next year the old tree will be the "kids" tree down in the basement and our "grown-up" tree will be in the family room.

After we got the house decorated it was time to plan our trip to see Santa. I know last years picture disappointed many since Ben actually smiled and wasn't screaming-crying-leaping from Santa's lap. So I thought for sure that with not 1 but 2 almost 9 month olds that we for sure would get a good screaming picture but to everyones surprise everyone did just great. Damn it. So heres to getting a screaming pic next year!
