In the last few days, we’ve had their Christmas photos taken,

and we’ve gone to visit Santa.

I would have loved to have delayed both of these experiences until at least after Thanksgiving, but I just can’t handle the mall crowds and business during the post-Thanksgiving shopping days.

Now, of course, Buba and Tiny think that Christmas morning is right around the corner. Too bad our Christmas countdown calendar doesn’t start in November. However, it won’t be too long until I’ll be ready for Christmas music and holiday baking. I’m planning to have both kids choose a gift to donate to Toys for Tots, and I imagine they’ll want to make some holiday cards of their own this year. Hopefully that will help the next several weeks pass quickly for them.

Soon it will be Christmas Day….

T and I were so busy keeping track of Buba and Tiny and trying to help them with their presents, that there was barely any time to pick up the camera and snap photos. So, this is all I have to offer…

They received so many new toys that we had to put quite a few away for later, because there simply wasn’t room for them all. And this was after putting away many of their pre-Christmas toys. We’ll rotate through them over the next couple of months, which will make it seem like Christmas all over again. 

Many thanks to our family and friends for all the wonderful gifts. We love you! Mmmmmwaaaa!
