Santa :: 2013

Lucy was so brave this year and actually sat on Santa's lap to tell him what she wants for Christmas. To be honest, I was shocked...and so proud of her! She asked Santa for a dollhouse, toys and a little wagon for her sister!
"That's my sister over there"...you know, the child that's already crying and not even sitting on your lap yet.
And then it was June's turn...
We've gone to see Santa with The Rectors ever since Lucy and Eleanor were babies...it's one of my favorite traditions! Unfortunately, this is the only picture we got of the four of them this year. It was a little chaotic. Poor Santa...
