merry christmas to all!

We hope everyone had a happy Christmas! 

Here are a few pictures of the girls last week before going to see Santa. 

 We were all (including a certain 2 year old) very excited to see the big man.  We all decided we'd sit on his lap and tell him when we wanted... no tears.  We got to the mall as soon as Santa arrived (along with about 100 other people who also had the same idea) and waited about an hour to see him.  The girls were great.  Very patient and in good spirits (as seen below).

 All was well til it got to our turn.  Maddie was great, she went right up to Santa and sat on his lap, but Caroline wanted nothing to do with him. This was as close as she got. 

So this year our Santa picture is minus one kid, but its okay... he still got Caroline what she asked for which was "blue." Somehow he still knew!
