Happy Holiday Season!!!

Things have been crazy around here. I can't believe this is the first post since school started!! Lylee moved back to her old preschool and LOVES every day. Taylor loves everything about being in Kindergarten and going to school with big kids. He's started reading and adding. It's so fun to watch him grow up! I usually help out in Taylor's class one day a week and I have really enjoyed sharing that time with him and his new friends. About 3 weeks ago I had surgery on my left shoulder that has been nagging at me for years. Recovery has proved to be very challenging with 2 little ones, but Chris is Mr. Awesome and the kids are trying to understand. Taylor is scared of my owies and Lylee likes to give them kisses. It's pretty funny.

Yesterday we got out for a change. We went to Macy's and put the kids letters to Santa in their special mailbox. We let each of the kids pick out their ornament for this year. Taylor got a silly football dressed up like Santa and Lylee got a hot pink purse with lots of silver "bling". Last we headed towards Santa. As we were walking down the mall, we passed Santa walking away from his seat so Taylor decided to stalk the poor old guy to the potty. Chris went after Taylor and Lylee and I went towards the line. We were happily suprised to find out that pictures with Santa were half off. Taylor was very excited and climbed up on Santa's lap and had a nice little conversation. Lylee was terrified and clung tight to Daddy. It was a fun trip.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic holiday season like we are! We're still looking forward to seeing the nativities, going to the live nativity at the Seventh Day Adventist Church, a trip to Apple Hill and the zoo on Christmas Eve!
