More Christmas

  We have been hitting everything Christmas that we can!  Mike is super into it, the kids are super into it, and that makes it 6/6 with me.  Last week we happened upon a fun little festival in Redwood City, and since we got there early enough the line was short for free Santa pictures.  Well, this time we got what we paid for.  Santa isn't even looking!  haha.  It's a good thing that Santa pics are not that big of a deal to Mike or I.  One day I think we'll all go big, but for now this will do.

   Anyway, there was a little patch of snow for the kids to play in and they loved it.  Yes, they made this snow.  That's what you do where we live!

After pictures, Santa started talking to Hannah and she got a one-on-one with him for a whole minute.  It was SO adorable!  She still believes.

   Sadly, she was racking her brain trying to figure out what to tell him she wanted.  I overheard her say, "I can't remember, but I have a list at home!"

  Joel told him he wanted dragon legos.  After we walked away he said, "Mama, where are the toys?  I told him I wanted dragon legos."  I realized he thought Santa was going to reach in a big sack and pull out some legos for him!  Haha!  He kept saying, "But I wanted dragon legos.  That's what I told him. Where are the toys?"  He had me cracking up.  Fortunately, I'm tight with the elves and there will be some dragon legos under the tree for Christmas!

  Hannah taking notes for her next performance! 

Lunch at Five Guys and I can't help myself from taking pics of the kids LOVING food.

Or just being plain old cute!

  These two race home ahead of me after school and look what I found them doing when I finally arrived.  The Polar Express!  Each getting their daily reading done in one shot too, I told you she is the best!

   Mike was gone last week sometime and so we got out the wet, sticky, messy glue....and GLITTER!

  This weekend, we made a very last minute decision to go to downtown San Francisco to window shop.  The kids were wide-eyed at the big buildings and crowded streets.  It also happened to be Santacon.  It's a thing.  Santas, snowmen, reindeer everywhere.  Next year I am dressing up my four as elves!  This is the view of Union Square from the 5th floor of Macy's.

More Christmas to be had still.  Bring it on!!
