The kids are so much fun this year. They are really into the decorating and the lights and picking out and even wrapping presents. Mirra likes singing Jingle Bell Rock.
Drew participated in a parade last week with his race car lit up with Christmas lights. After he finished the parade, he came back to watch the rest of it, including the arrival of Santa. Drew became so excited he jumped out into the road as far as he dared and stared waving his arm at Santa. "Santa, I want Toy Story! I want Buzz Lightyear, Santa!"
A couple of days later we unexpectedly had an opportunity for the kids to sit with Santa. Mirra was not afraid of him (she is not shy at all), but she kept looking at him like she was trying to figure him out. She said nothing. Drew hopped up there and told Santa he wanted Buzz Lightyear and Woody for Christmas. When Santa asked what else, Drew told him a dinosaur (Rex from the movie) and a dog. The dog thing was news to me. We often talk about getting a puppy, but we just don't have the time or patience for it right now. It turns out Drew was only talking about the Slinky dog from the Toy Story movie.
I am almost done with my Christmas shopping and the cards are ordered. Next up....cookie making at my mom's and getting our tree. We are also going to enter the kids in another parade of lights. This time in my hometown.
