We went to see Santa today! We were the second family in line (we went first thing so we could avoid the long lines). The girls were so excited, and when they saw him, they were speechless. He was the best Santa! He came up to each person in line (even the adults) and wished them a Merry Christmas and stopped to talk to each child. Grace was the only on of my girls brave enough to talk to him (okay, Clara can't talk yet - lol) and Martha turned suddenly shy. I was worried that she wouldn't want to sit on his lap and tell him what she wanted. (I already knew, but this made it official - ha!) She was such a big girl, she sat on his lap and told him she wanted a Dora the Explorer shirt and a baby doll. Grace only wants a Nintedo DS (pink of course) and moonsand. Then later she added a Webkinz. Clara turned 8 months old this week! The time has really gone by. She is so much fun to watch. She blows bubbles, makes all kinds of noise and is scooting all over the floor. She might crawl sooner than her sisters! Here is our big girl!

I got all of the Christmas decorations out yesterday and we decorated!! Grace was at school, but I promised her that she could put her decorations on the tree when she got home. Martha had so much fun, she got really excited when we got out her Mickey Mouse ornament. She wanted to play with it, but I had to take it from her - it's glass and we'd have to go back to Disney to replace it. So here is a picture of our tree, we are ready for Santa!
