(I love the photo above of Matt in the background)
I'm not really sure how it happened, but somehow we agreed to host a get-together with some of our friends where Santa showed up. Santa's visit, while greatly LOVED by the kids, opened up a lot of (totally good and justified) questions that neither Tim nor myself knew how, nor really wanted, to explain. But at least the girls had a great (!) time and I got some great photos out of it (that they will sooo appreciate when they are grown).
The girls had a private reading with Santa of The Night Before Christmas.
The photo above is of my friend's, Julie, youngest daughter, Remi. Now that is a photo that will make her laugh when she grows up!
I tried to get the dogs in a photo---at least one out of two made it in!
She believes---with all her heart.
