I don't know how long the kids can keep up their feverish excitement. You would think that Christmas day is tomorrow instead of a week away. The stockings and the tree are up, although it has no decorations yet. Even our gingerbread houses are done. Although I'm nowhere ready from a shopping or a holiday card standpoint, I can't wait to put all of these Santa encounters behind us. We're on Santa overload and Bella is beginning to get a little suspicious about the whole thing, especially when there are multiple Santas on a corner. How do you handle all the mall Santas and the Salvation Army Santas?
This Santa at the tree lot was a big hit though.
Happy
Wordful Wednesday! Also check out
Way Back Wednesday for some creative Wednesday photo posts.

looks like a fun time :-)
Happy WW!
I'm ready for it to be over too. All the excitement causes my 7yo to go into overload and he acts out. It's horrible. I have this spoiled brat that I want to lock in his room this time of year. We handle all the Santas by telling him that the real Santa has to oversee everything at the North Pole to make sure it's done right, so the ones he sees here are more of his workers that help out.
Ok... can we discuss the fact that I think Juliette has her Easter basket with her.. nothing like increasing your odds for presents! Smart girl!
And yes, I'm over it too... Caroline has been getting up earlier and earlier in anticipation of the big day! At the rate we are going, she will not sleep at all on Christmas Eve!
What an incredibly happy crew have you!
So glad you're playing along with Way Back When-esday! Welcome! :)
Great photos. My kids can't wait for Christas either. I have so much wrapping to do. At least I am done with my shopping. :)
Looky look! Just did the random.org and you WON!!! Drop me an email with a mailing address and I'll get it out in the next few days! :)
Congrats and thanks again for playing!
I agree with Amanda, just tell her these are Santa's halpers! Looks like you guys had fun. After you left the comment on my blog I thought about how many people actually cannot go cut down their own tree. Never really thought about it before living here with forests full of trees all around us! But yes it is really cool to be able to go do and it costs 5 bucks for the tree permit!
I am LOVIN' the pictures! Gingerbread houses?! Sounds like so much fun, we've GOT to do that. :)
I've had to explain to my children that Santa is so busy that he sends helpers that look like him to meet the children, and that no one has actually ever met the "real" santa. :)
Bella is the smart one! What a fun time U guys must all have had!
