Cinnamon rolls and Santa!

We were pretty much snowed in all last weekend so we had to forego our breakfast at Panera. Luckily, I had bought a can of cinnamon rolls and Madeline had her first one! YUM!

We made some Christmas cards.

AND! Last night we had a big surprise. Santa stopped by for a visit!!

I was certain Madeline would be petrified, but she wasn't at all. She was actually the first kid to get on his lap. Earlier in the day she told me she was going to ask for a baby doll and some wipes to blow her nose. Later, she told me she was going to ask for cars. But...when she finally got on his lap...she asked for another puppy!  In related news, we are NOT getting another dog. Sorry, Mads.

Then it was Hudson's turn. But he didn't dig it. 

 

We tried to get a picture of all of the kids which proved to be a bit difficult.

Partially because Madeline was mean-mugging the whole time.

We asked her why she was making such a face and she literally said, "I can't smile! I've had a long day!" 

 After Ben and Jacob and their families left, it was just us with Kyle and Danielle and Hudson. The kids disappeared for a few minutes and we heard them laughing hysterically.

They had jumped on the ottoman in our room. When we told them that wasn't a good idea they ran and jumped on the dog bed.

Which was very fun...until they bumped heads.  

But, they laughed it off!

We had a great week and are looking forward to a great weekend!
