Is this a face that says "Ready for Christmas," or what?
Though the snow hasn't been promising, we've had so much fun getting our winter on.
Corey and I took the kids up skiing - they BOTH had a blast, and Porter's showing signs of an early skier!
Porter has had more fun working on being nice so as to make it onto the "good" list. We've adopted an Elf on the Shelf, which Porter has named Rapunzel. Porter will catch himself in the middle of not being nice, stop and say, "Mom, you're beautiful. Dad you're handsome... Do you think I'm still on the naughty list?" He wrote a very special fill-in-the-blank letter to Santa that Rapunzel left for him, requesting a bouncy ball, a red marker and a crane for Christmas, in addition to a special wish for Daddy: Snow! Today we took the kids to see Santa at the Golden train museum.

| Emma Rose said "Hi Train!" to each new train she encountered. |
Santa and Mrs. Claus were waiting in a red caboose. The kids hugged and waited anxiously for their turn:
Nonetheless, while the experience of the museum, the train ride, and waiting to meet Santa was so much fun, actually meeting Santa was a bit traumatic for Emma Rose. "SCARE ME!!!" she kept crying when we got close to Santa. "Maybe next year," assured the jolly man.
Still, as soon as she was clearly off of his lap and back in my arms, she was all smiles and told Santa, "Tank you."
The next 9 days, we hope to find filled with more and more wonder and excitement as the kids wait to see what this special time of the year brings.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
