On the Nice List :)

Santa Claus is coming to town..... and we have one really GOOD boy that has earned a spot on the nice list this year.  Zander continues to make us smile each day, and we are so proud to be his parents!  He went with me to a PTA event at school last Thursday night, and he watched the performances so attentively.  Here is a picture from the show.... he stayed in his stroller for the first portion of the entertainment and then he got up and danced with his mommy during some of the festive holiday tunes. 

Santa came to visit my school today, and my principal gave me the "go-ahead" to bring Zander to meet him while he was visiting the classrooms.  This was Zander's first meeting with the guy from the North Pole and he did great!  We'll have to wait until next year to see if there are any tears or screams.  This year, Zander just kept looking at Santa and wondering what this man was all about.  Zander is not at the age yet where he could tell Santa what he wants for Christmas but I think Santa knows without Zander having to say a word. 

Mrs. Claus came too!

 Couldn't get a smile from Zander.... oh well.... maybe next time! ;)

Finally..... if you have ever seen the movie "A Christmas Story", my sister and I always laugh hysterically when the boys have on their snow suits and can barely move!  We tested out Zander in his snow suit and he struggled to even sit up!  This picture just had to be shared!

We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and is able to spend time with family and friends over the holidays.  May we never forget the true reason for this magical season!  We have an amazing Savior that came to earth as a little baby so that one day He could take all our sins on a cross and forever give us the opportunity to spend eternity with our Heavenly Father.  Happy Birthday, Jesus!
