Pre-Christmas Hype!

Aaron decided on a new profession this month...an air mail pilot/mechanic! I guess they get to wear their jammies to work;)

Bailey endures yet another hug from Emily!

The kids got to paint the first letter of their name for the tree!

Emily now prefers Aaron to help her out of her seat! It is adorable how gentle and careful he is with her!

Often when I am getting ready for bed, Bailey finds a warm spot to rest. I will leave her here, but eventually she finds her way into her crate in our room and sleeps there all night with the door open!

Aaron chats up Santa at this year's Breakfast with Santa. On his list? An orange trash truck and an orange snow plow!

Emily opted for Mrs. Claus. Though Emily speaks very clearly, I kept getting signals from Mrs. Claus that she wasn't understanding her...at least she was talking to her!

Mommy foul...big foul. I didn't insist on them both sitting on Santa for a picture! Guess this is our "best" Santa's lap shot this year...hopefully I will remember next year!

From the breakfast, we headed up to my mom's house for the annual Cookie day. We managed a fairly decent picture of all the grandkids! Aren't they sweet?!

Here Aaron and Audrey decorate their cookies!

Okay, blogger is not agreeing with me, so these are out of order! Back at the breakfast...here we all are with Great Grandma Dorothy (Grandma Rene at the camera).

Here the kids wait for their turn in the "one horse open sleigh" holding their toys that Santa gave them!
