Santa

12*17*2011

Our first Christmas in Frankfurt and who do we find?? Santa Clause!! :) The kids were so happy that he took some time out of his busy schedule to come see them. It was the morning of Andrew's birthday party. And while I don't make it a habit to do Christmas things on his special day, they had fun and couldn't bear the thought that he was all the way in Germany and missed him! 

So Andrew talked to Santa about what he wished for. I asked him afterwards what he told Santa he wanted for Christmas and he told me it was a secret between just him and Santa! Ha! Guess we'll have to see if "Santa" can guess! ;) I'm sure legos and cars are at the top of his list!

 

After sitting with Santa and getting a picture with him, they hopped down and each got a candycane and a yo-yo or a toy equivalent to one. They were feeling super special!

 This also happened to be Landon's first appearance with Santa. I didn't really get a formal one with just him like I have with the others in previous years but they hit it off just fine. In all honestly, at nine months old, I don't even think he noticed! Sitting on Aubrey's lap helped I'm sure. They became fast friends. Didn't even shed a tear! :)

Between a church Christmas party, Santa visiting, music going, baking cookies and hanging out in the freezing temps...we are getting into the holiday spirit around here.

 And this year, we'll be having my brother and his family here from England to enjoy the Christmas festivities with us. For sure a Christmas to remember!
