Merry Christmas...?

So apparently my girls haven't quite caught the sharing part of the Christmas Spirit. Unfortunately I'm sure I can expect this behavior for many more Christmas' to come.

PS: To get the full effect of all the love, be sure to turn up your speakers;)

Bad Santa

So my awesome friend forwarded the following email to me that was sent to her by a family member regarding their family Christmas party. This is an honest to goodness, not even made up at all email. Hope it makes you smile!

Merry Christmas Family,

Just a note about Santa - He has a bad back so can't lift the kids. Anyone who wants to sit on his lap, and he would love that, needs to be placed there by the parents and then lifted down by someone. Hopefully, parents will be right there to help out. The bigger kids can stand by Santa to talk to him. Also - last Monday Santa burned the back of his right hand - 2nd degree burns. It's feeling much better but he will be wearing gloves - mostly not to upset or distract the kids. His hand is wrapped and Mrs. Claus is still changing the dressing twice daily. Santa is feeling much better now but he's had a rough time lately.

Amy, if one of your older kids could stand by Santa and be his "special helper" that would be great. He says he may need help with "page turning" and maybe handing out the gift he has for each and every child ages 0 - 17. I'm thinking of course, Hanna or Kit would work out great as Santa assistants.

See you Monday night. Santa has been asked to show up between 6:30 and 7:00.

DISCLAIMER: I am not making fun of Santa, poor guy. I just simply find it all amusing!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

This is what the majority of the photo shoot was like:

Yet somehow the amazing Skye Johansen captured tons like this:

Love! Love! Love!

Save your pennies people! She is worth every cent!
